"Outlawry," said he, "once proclaimed by the hall of Blue Tooth against the person of Ivar Forkbeard, he of Forkbeard's Landfall, is herewith, in this hall, in this place, in the name of Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland, lifted!" There was a great cheer. |
10 |
| 21 | 73 |

"That we will furnish you?" asked Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 11 | 227 |
"As provisions?" asked the Blue Tooth, puzzled. |

On the wooden dais, draped in purple, set on the contest fields, in heavy, carved chairs, sat Svein Blue Tooth and his woman, Bera. |
10 |
| 12 | 20 |
Svein Blue Tooth rose to his feet, standing before the heavy, carved wooden chair. |
10 |
| 12 | 22 |
About his neck, on its golden chain, hung the tooth of the Hunjer whale, dyed blue. |
10 |
| 12 | 29 |
"This man," called out Svein Blue Tooth, obviously impressed, "has earned in these contests six talmits. |
10 |
| 12 | 31 |
Svein Blue Tooth was of Torvaldsland himself. |
10 |
| 12 | 36 |
"I distinguish myself, and enter into the history of our land," said the Blue Tooth, "in being the high Jarl to award these talmits in the games. |
10 |
| 12 | 42 |
Svein Blue Tooth was obviously pleased that it had been in his Jarlship that six talmits had been won at the Thing by a single, redoubtable champion. |
10 |
| 12 | 45 |
From a leather box, proffered to him by a high officer, who, too, had been the presiding official at the contests, Svein Blue Tooth lifted a fistful of talmits. |
10 |
| 12 | 49 |
"He who calls himself Thorgeir of Ax Glacier," proclaimed Svein Blue Tooth, "let him approach!" Ivar Forkbeard eagerly bounded up the stairs toward the dais. |
10 |
| 12 | 54 |
I studied the face of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 12 | 58 |
I hoped that Svein Blue Tooth would simply hand him the talmits and he might rapidly back down, and we might run for the ship. |
10 |
| 12 | 60 |
It was obviously the intent of Svein Blue Tooth, himself, to honor this great winner, to bind on his forehead, with his own hands, the talmits. |
10 |
| 12 | 61 |
The Blue Tooth reached to brush back the hood. |
10 |
| 12 | 63 |
Svein Blue Tooth laughed. |
10 |
| 12 | 68 |
"What is your name, Champion?" asked Bera, the woman of Jarl Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 12 | 70 |
"That you have disguised yourself tells us," said the Blue Tooth, "that you are outlaw". |
10 |
| 12 | 72 |
"But the peace of the Thing is upon you," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 12 | 77 |
"Great Jarl," said Ivar Forkbeard, "will you swear upon me the oath of peace, for the time of the Thing, your personal oath, sworn upon the ring of the temple of Thor?" "It is not necessary," said the Blue Tooth, "but, if you wish, this oath I will swear". |
10 |
| 12 | 81 |
Svein Blue Tooth grasped it in both hands. |
10 |
| 12 | 87 |
Svein Blue Tooth looked at him, puzzled. |
10 |
| 12 | 90 |
"Come now!" said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 12 | 92 |
"Very well," said the Blue Tooth, "I swear by the ship's side, the shield's rim, the sword's edge, the fires of my hearth, the timbers of my hall and the pillars of the high seat in my house". |
10 |
| 12 | 94 |
"Will you swear, too," he asked, "by the grains of your fields, the boundary stones of your holdings, the locks on your chests and the salt on your table?" "Yes, yes!" said Svein Blue Tooth, irritatedly. |
10 |
| 12 | 97 |
I assumed he was trying to think of ways to strengthen the Blue Tooth's oath. |
10 |
| 12 | 100 |
"And, too, I swear," said Svein Blue Tooth, "by the bronze of my ladles and the bottoms of my butter pans!" "That will not be necessary," said the Forkbeard, generously. |
10 |
| 12 | 101 |
"What is your name, Champion?" asked Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 8 |
These pillars had been carved by craftsmen in the time of Svein Blue Tooth's great grandfather, and bore the luck signs of his house. |
10 |
| 13 | 26 |
Svein Blue Tooth's holdings, on the other hand, were quite large and complexly organized. |
10 |
| 13 | 27 |
It would not have seemed proper, at least in the eyes of Svein Blue Tooth and others, for a high officer to sit at the same table with a fellow whose main occupation was supervising thralls in the tending of verr. |
10 |
| 13 | 32 |
I describe those appointments characterizing the hall of Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 40 |
High officers, of course, and the Blue Tooth, and members of his family, would retire to private rooms. |
10 |
| 13 | 46 |
Svein Blue Tooth had not been much pleased on the fields of the contests, on his purple-draped dais, when Ivar Forkbeard had announced his identity. |
10 |
| 13 | 47 |
"Seize him and heat oil!" had been the first cry of the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 49 |
"Seize him!" screamed the Blue Tooth, and had himself clearly intended to lay rude hands on the innocent Forkbeard, but his men had, forcibly, restrained him, they glaring at Ivar Forkbeard with ill-disguised disapproval. |
10 |
| 13 | 50 |
"You tricked me!" cried out the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 53 |
Svein Blue Tooth, held in the arms of his men, struggled to unsheath his great sword of blued steel. |
10 |
| 13 | 54 |
The high rune-priest of the Thing interposed himself between the violent Blue Tooth and the Forkbeard, who was, innocently, regarding cloud formations. |
10 |
| 13 | 58 |
The veins stood out on the forehead and neck of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 67 |
The men-at-arms of Svein Blue Tooth stirred uneasily. |
10 |
| 13 | 76 |
"Yes, it is I, Ivar Forkbeard!" The men-at-arms of Svein Blue Tooth were now uncomfortably close. |
10 |
| 13 | 79 |
The issues seemed reasonably clear, though I could catch only snatches of what was said; they concerned the pleasures of boiling the Forkbeard and his retinue alive as opposed to the dangerous precedent which might be set if the peace of the Thing was sundered, and the loss of credit which might acc... |
10 |
| 13 | 83 |
At last the Blue Tooth turned to face the Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 13 | 86 |
"The peace of the Thing," said the Blue Tooth, "and the peace of my house, for the time of the Thing, is upon you. |
10 |
| 13 | 93 |
I rather admired Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 101 |
Svein Blue Tooth looked at him in rage. |
10 |
| 13 | 103 |
Blue Tooth was speechless. |
10 |
| 13 | 106 |
The Blue Tooth thrust the talmits toward the Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 13 | 108 |
Then Svein Blue Tooth, as high jarl in Torvaldsland, one by one, tied about the forehead of Ivar Forkbeard the six talmits. |
10 |
| 13 | 111 |
Svein Blue Tooth was, in his way, not a bad fellow. |
10 |
| 13 | 112 |
"By tomorrow night," repeated Svein Blue Tooth to the Forkbeard, "when the Thing is done, be free of this place. |
10 |
| 13 | 115 |
"I frown upon you, and would not let you within the doors of my hall," said Svein Blue Tooth, "because you are the greatest scoundrel and rogue in Torvaldsland!" I could see that this compliment much pleased the Forkbeard, who, a vain fellow, was jealous of his reputation. |
10 |
| 13 | 117 |
"That is preposterous!" snorted the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 119 |
"No man," said the Blue Tooth, looking suddenly at Ivar Forkbeard, "could pay such wergild as I set for you". |
10 |
| 13 | 121 |
"You have heard," he inquired, "of the sack of the temple of Kassau?" "You!" cried the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 122 |
I saw the eyes of the Blue Tooth suddenly gleam with avarice. |
10 |
| 13 | 128 |
Svein Blue Tooth looked at him, startled. |
10 |
| 13 | 133 |
The Blue Tooth did not gainsay her. |
10 |
| 13 | 139 |
The Forkbeard looked to Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 140 |
Svein fingered the tooth on its chain. |
10 |
| 13 | 143 |
Svein Blue Tooth, high jarl of Torvaldsland, followed by his woman, and high officers and counselors, and other followers, then took his way from the dais. |
10 |
| 13 | 144 |
* * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 146 |
Splendid was the quality of the ale at the tables of the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 162 |
The palisade enclosed some two acres; within it were many shops and storage houses, even an ice house; in the center, of course, reared the great hall itself, that rude, high-roofed palace of the north, the house of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 183 |
"If you are washed and readied," said a young thrall, collared, in a kirtle of white wool, "it is permissible to present yourselves before the high seat of the house, before my master, Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland". |
10 |
| 13 | 208 |
Then he took his way to the bench opposite the high seat, stopping here and there to exchange pleasantries with the men of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 210 |
The Blue Tooth, I noted, did not look too pleased at the Forkbeard's popularity with his men. |
10 |
| 13 | 212 |
* * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 231 |
But she was the woman of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 232 |
I supposed, in time, normally, she would retire, doubtless taking Svein Blue Tooth with her. |
10 |
| 13 | 235 |
I felt sorry for Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 239 |
After the entertainers had been driven from the hall and much food had been eaten, Svein Blue Tooth, who had showed much patience, said to Ivar Forkbeard, "It is my understanding that you believe yourself to have that wherewith your deed's wergild might be met". |
10 |
| 13 | 241 |
Svein Blue Tooth's eyes gleamed. |
10 |
| 13 | 242 |
He fingered the tooth of the Hunjer whale, on its golden chain, slung about his neck. |
10 |
| 13 | 243 |
"The wergild was high," said the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 249 |
For more than two Ahn gold was weighed, on two pairs of scales, one furnished by the Forkbeard, the other by the house of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 252 |
The eyes of Svein Blue Tooth and Bera, narrow, shining, were filled with pleasure. |
10 |
| 13 | 253 |
"There is forty weight of gold here," said Svein Blue Tooth's man, almost as though he could not believe it, "four hundred stone of gold". |
10 |
| 13 | 257 |
Svein Blue Tooth leaned forward, his fists clenched. |
10 |
| 13 | 268 |
Too, the Forkbeard, in dealing with his Jarl, Svein Blue Tooth, would not use false stones. |
10 |
| 13 | 271 |
I had no doubt that the spilled glory heaped gleaming in the dirt of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth was what it seemed, true stones, and an incredible treasure. |
10 |
| 13 | 277 |
Svein Blue Tooth was much impressed. |
10 |
| 13 | 282 |
The Blue Tooth leaned back. |
10 |
| 13 | 288 |
The Blue Tooth's men, not pleased, murmured angrily. |
10 |
| 13 | 291 |
"Silence!" cried Svein Blue Tooth, standing behind the table. |
10 |
| 13 | 294 |
"I do ask the impossible," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 298 |
Even the men of Svein Blue Tooth, perhaps a thousand in the hall, were angry. |
10 |
| 13 | 299 |
Yet the Blue Tooth, boldly, their Jarl, matched his will to theirs. |
10 |
| 13 | 300 |
Which one of them would dare to challenge the will of their Jarl? I admired the Blue Tooth in his way. |
10 |
| 13 | 303 |
The Blue Tooth sat down again in the high seat. |
10 |
| 13 | 309 |
These four stopped before the table, opposite the high seat of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 313 |
"What mockery is this?" demanded the Blue Tooth, sternly. |
10 |
| 13 | 317 |
"It is she," whispered a man at the table of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 319 |
It is she!" "Are you—are you," asked Svein Blue Tooth, "the daughter of Thorgard, Thorgard of Scagnar?" "Yes, my Jarl," she said. |
10 |
| 13 | 327 |
"Once in battle," said Svein Blue Tooth, "I wounded Thorgard of Scagnar". |
10 |
| 13 | 333 |
"It is true," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 337 |
"How were you taken?" asked Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 340 |
"How were you conveyed past guards?" asked the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 345 |
There was a great cheer from the men in the hall, both those of Ivar Forkbeard and those of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 351 |
"Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland, meet Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 13 | 352 |
"Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, meet Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland". |
10 |
| 13 | 358 |
"Never had I thought to have Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, stand prisoner before me, before the high seat of my house," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 360 |
"I do not understand," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 362 |
"You need not address me as your Jarl, my dear," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 376 |
"You collared her!" laughed Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 378 |
"Superb!" laughed Svein Blue Tooth, rubbing his hands together. |
10 |
| 13 | 383 |
"Is she pretty?" asked Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 397 |
The eyes of Svein Blue Tooth, and those of his men, glistened as they feasted upon her bared beauty. |
10 |
| 13 | 398 |
"It seems," said Svein Blue Tooth, "that the wergild has been well met". |
10 |
| 13 | 400 |
"In the morning I shall proclaim the lifting of your outlawry," said the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 402 |
It seemed we would come alive, after all, out of the hall of the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 409 |
"How is that?" asked the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 411 |
The Blue Tooth looked puzzled. |
10 |
| 13 | 416 |
"But who has told you that I choose to meet it?" Suddenly the men in the hall, both those of the Forkbeard and of Svein Blue Tooth, began to cheer. |
10 |
| 13 | 419 |
Never in the north had there been such a coup of honor! Though it might mean the death of us all, those who followed the Forkbeard, and that of perhaps hundreds of the men of Svein Blue Tooth, we cheered. |
10 |
| 13 | 422 |
Slowly Svein Blue Tooth rose to his feet. |
10 |
| 13 | 424 |
There was not a man in the hall but knew that his kinsman, a distant cousin, Finn Broadbelt, whom the Forkbeard had slain, had fallen in fair duel, and that wergild should not have been levied; and there was not a man in that hall but knew that the Blue Tooth had decreed, even were such justified, a... |
10 |
| 13 | 426 |
I choose the sleen, the forest and the sea!" Svein Blue Tooth regarded him. |
10 |
| 13 | 435 |
All eyes turned to Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 14 | 1 |
The Forkbeard and I Depart From the Hall of Svein Blue Tooth I saw half of the body of a man spinning crazily past. |
10 |
| 14 | 35 |
Svein Blue Tooth stood on the long table, behind which was his high seat. |
10 |
| 14 | 82 |
Turning I saw Svein Blue Tooth and four others, trying to splinter their way from the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 99 |
"Clear room!" cried Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 14 | 147 |
Again in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth rang the blood shriek of the Kurii. |
10 |
| 14 | 181 |
"Follow me!" cried Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 14 | 184 |
"Hurry! Hurry!" cried the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 14 | 185 |
His garments were half torn from him but, still, about his neck, on its chain, was the tooth of the Hunjer whale, dyed blue, by which men in Torvaldsland knew him. |
10 |
| 14 | 192 |
I saw ten Kurii leap to the back of the hall, to where Svein Blue Tooth and his men had made their opening, to prevent the escape of others. |
10 |
| 14 | 275 |
Then we were standing on the wooden-shingled blazing roof of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 14 | 282 |
I looked over and saw him, in the moonlight, making his way downward, hand by hand, foot by foot, using the clefts, projections and niches in the ornate carvings of the exterior corner beams of the Blue Tooth's hall. |
10 |
| 15 | 8 |
We had climbed down from the roof of the Blue Tooth's burning hall, using the projections and relief of the ornately carved corner beams. |
10 |
| 15 | 19 |
The Forkbeard, after our escape from the stockade of Svein Blue Tooth, had been intent upon reaching his camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 129 |
Beneath this redness burned the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 15 | 270 |
From where we stood we could see the black ruins of Svein Blue Tooth's hall and holdings, the desolated Thing-Fields, the sea, Thassa, with the ships at the beach. |
10 |
| 17 | 14 |
Not far from me was Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 17 | 102 |
After their devastating victory of the night of Svein Blue Tooth's feast, in which his hall was burned, and the Thing encampments laid waste, they had formed their own camp, and set methodically about gathering supplies for their southern march. |
10 |
| 17 | 105 |
During this time, a hundred pasangs to the south, Svein Blue Tooth had set the rallying point of the men of Torvaldsland. |
10 |
| 17 | 106 |
In these days I had much spied on Kurii, living on the land, returning more than once to the Blue Tooth's war camp. |
10 |
| 17 | 143 |
Not all of these "Peoples" speak the same language, and, I gather, there are differences among them, and within, each People, for example, differences in marking, in texture of fur, in temperament, in tooth arrangement, in ear shape, and so on. |
10 |
| 17 | 223 |
"Tie on the scarves," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 17 | 230 |
"Loosen your weapons," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 17 | 235 |
Svein Blue Tooth had his head down. |
10 |
| 17 | 252 |
I saw then Svein Blue Tooth, the mighty jarl of Torvaldsland, lift his own head, but it did not seem, then, to be him. |
10 |
| 17 | 254 |
The eyes did not seem those of the noble Blue Tooth, but of something else, unaccountable, not understood. |
10 |
| 17 | 282 |
Man by man, heart by heart, the fury gripped the host of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 17 | 298 |
Well did I remember their treachery, well did I remember the massacre, hideous, merciless, in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 17 | 327 |
There was foam at the mouth of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 17 | 332 |
The signal spear, in the hand of the frenzied Blue Tooth, its scarlet talmit wrapped at the base of its blade, was lifted. |
10 |
| 18 | 118 |
Svein Blue Tooth was at the pens, leading the attack that had broken the rally. |
10 |
| 18 | 121 |
The Blue Tooth stepped over the body of a fallen Kur. |
10 |
| 18 | 126 |
"Do not permit Kurii to escape to the south," said Svein Blue Tooth to Ketil, keeper of his high farm, who had been famed as a wrestler. |
10 |
| 18 | 149 |
There, already lifted, we saw the signal spear of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 156 |
"Form lines!" cried Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 157 |
"Form lines!" The Blue Tooth, their Jarl, was with them! Men fought to take their place, under his eyes, in the first line. |
10 |
| 18 | 158 |
The Blue Tooth himself now stood with Rollo, his own hand on the signal spear. |
10 |
| 18 | 171 |
"Charge!" cried Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 173 |
Not ten yards before the clash took place, Svein Blue Tooth and his lieutenants before the running line, as the girls, under the whips of Kurii, fled, terrified, seeing the axes, the leveled weapons, toward them, made a sign no bondmaid of the north mistakes, the belly sign. |
10 |
| 18 | 184 |
"Cut the wenches free," ordered Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 187 |
Svein Blue Tooth, and others, by the hair, hurled bond-wenches to their feet. |
10 |
| 18 | 190 |
"Help her!" ordered the Blue Tooth to two frightened girls. |
10 |
| 18 | 212 |
Had it not been for the force of Svein Blue Tooth, the power of his voice, the mightiness of his presence, Kurii might then have taken the initiative. |
10 |
| 18 | 228 |
"No," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 236 |
"Do you not think they will hunt us in the darkness?" asked Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 248 |
Svein Blue Tooth threw Kur meat into the dirt, in disgust. |
10 |
| 18 | 250 |
"Yes," said Svein Blue Tooth grimly, "they are waiting for night". |
10 |
| 18 | 251 |
I saw the general within their square, the huge Kur whom I had seen before, in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, it with the golden ring on the left arm. |
10 |
| 18 | 267 |
"They are patient," said Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 272 |
"We shall break the square," I told Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 279 |
"I shall," he said, fingering the stained tooth of the Hunjer whale which hung about his neck. |
10 |
| 18 | 292 |
Dazed, injured Kurii, their formations disrupted, reeled, only to find, among them, screaming men, the launched horde of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 297 |
"Press them! Press them!" screamed the Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 18 | 334 |
In the lines of Svein Blue Tooth, once he had fought not more than six men from my right. |
10 |
| 18 | 625 |
Svein Blue Tooth was there. |
10 |
| 18 | 627 |
"The bridge of jewels worked well," said Svein Blue Tooth to Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 631 |
The Blue Tooth shrugged. |
10 |
| 18 | 649 |
What else need one know of a man? "What is to be done with these captive Kurii?" I asked Svein Blue Tooth, indicating the line of imprisoned beasts, some wounded, being driven past us, survivors of the slaughter on the Bridge of Jewels. |
10 |
| 18 | 668 |
Ivar Forkbeard and Svein Blue Tooth might congratulate themselves on their victory. |
10 |
| 18 | 693 |
"In four days, when supplies can be gathered," said Svein Blue Tooth, "we shall have a great feast, for this has been a great victory". |
10 |
| 19 | 5 |
He stopped before Svein Blue Tooth and Ivar Forkbeard, who, on seats of rock, awaited it. |
10 |
| 19 | 20 |
Then the beast went to Svein Blue Tooth and Ivar Forkbeard, and there, from the ground at their feet, lifted again the two parts of the ax. |
10 |
| 19 | 23 |
But Svein Blue Tooth, regal, stood. |
10 |
| 20 | 78 |
It had been he who had been first in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, the night of the attack. |
10 |
| 21 | 18 |
The fixing of the Kur collar, it had been decided by Svein Blue Tooth, was equivalent to the fixing of the metal collar and, in itself, was sufficient to reduce the subject to slavery, which condition deprives the subject of legal status, and rights attached thereto, such as the right to stand in co... |
10 |

Accordingly, to her astonishment, Bera, who had been the companion of Svein Blue Tooth, discovered suddenly that she was only one wench among others. |
10 |
| 21 | 20 |
From a line, as part of his spoils, the Blue Tooth picked her out. |
10 |
| 21 | 22 |
Yet was the Blue Tooth fond of the arrogant wench. |
10 |
| 21 | 71 |
"I would speak!" called Svein Blue Tooth, rising to his feet, lifting a horn of mead. |
10 |
| 21 | 76 |
"Svein Blue Tooth and I," said Ivar Forkbeard, rising, spilling Hilda from his lap, "have had our differences". |
10 |
| 21 | 79 |
The Blue Tooth had sought his life. |
10 |
| 21 | 83 |
The Forkbeard then lifted his mead to Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 21 | 84 |
"You are a great man, Svein Blue Tooth," said he, "and you have been a great enemy". |
10 |
| 21 | 85 |
"I shall now," said the Blue Tooth, "if it be within my power, prove to be so good a friend". |
10 |
| 21 | 86 |
Then the Blue Tooth climbed to the table's top and stood there, and the Forkbeard, astonished, climbed, too, to the surface of the table. |
10 |
| 21 | 89 |
Svein Blue Tooth, his arms about the Forkbeard, cried out, hoarsely. |
10 |
| 21 | 90 |
"Know this, that from this day forward, Ivar Forkbeard stands among the Jarls of Torvaldsland!" We stood and cheered the fortune, the honor, that the Blue Tooth did unto the Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 21 | 109 |
It was the loot of the temple of Kassau, and the sapphires of Schendi, which had figured in the wergild imposed upon him by Svein Blue Tooth in the days of his outlawry. |
10 |
| 21 | 119 |
"Ivar!" called Svein Blue Tooth, when the loot was distributed, pointing to Hilda, who, in her collar, stripped, cuddled at the Forkbeard's side, "are you not, too, going to give away that pretty little trinket?" "No!" laughed the Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 21 | 124 |
"Bid them welcome," said the Blue Tooth, and he himself left the table, taking a bowl of water and towel to meet the guests at the portal. |
10 |
| 21 | 126 |
Two men, with followers, acknowledged the greeting of Svein Blue Tooth; they washed their hands, and their faces, and they came forward. |
10 |
| 21 | 246 |
The plan of Tyros might thus, foiled upon the coast of Thassa, be in effect accomplished in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, at least with respect to he known as Bosk of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 21 | 260 |
"Sarus of Tyros," I said to Ivar, "is a guest in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth". |
10 |

This morning Svein Blue Tooth, before cheering men, had tied it about my head. |
10 |
| 22 | 35 |
"Never before," had said Svein Blue Tooth, "has one not of the north been named Jarl amongst us". |
10 |
| 22 | 41 |
"I am grateful," said I to Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 22 | 72 |
Among the girls, too, I saw Bera, she one of the Blue Tooth's girls, one of several, who had been placed under the orders of Wulfstan to assist in the loading. |
10 |
| 22 | 75 |
Svein Blue Tooth had laughed. |
10 |
| 22 | 100 |
I recollected the head of the giant Kur, mounted on its stake, in the ruins of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |

I do not think the longing of men is an oddity in the genetic history of a species; I think there is a reciprocity which has been intricately evolved; this desire, this longing for a beautiful slave, for a beautiful female, who stands to him as slave to master, which is universal in glandularly norm... |
