At the foot of the ground level, which is the sleeping level, which lies about a foot above the dug-out floor, the long center of the hall, on the floor, against the raised dirt, here and there, were rounded logs, laid lengthwise. |

10 |

10 |
| 7 | 257 |

10 |
| 9 | 203 |
The hall roared with pleasure. |
10 |
| 9 | 205 |
His daughter, stripped, poured mead in the hall of his enemies. |
10 |
| 9 | 262 |

10 |
| 9 | 317 |
I lit the way with the torch, and we took her to the hall of the Forkbeard. |
10 |

10 |
| 9 | 362 |
Within an Ahn, Hilda the Haughty, to the jeers of men, the taunts of bondmaids, on her hands and knees, head down, hair falling forward, crept to the circle of the bondmaid, which Ivar Forkbeard had drawn in the dirt of the hall floor, between the posts. |
10 |
| 9 | 379 |
The delicious little thing, like the other goods of the hall, was, for most practical purposes, for the use of us all. |
10 |
| 10 | 383 |
At her waist she wore a jeweled scabbard, protruding from which I saw the ornamented, twisted blade of a Turian dagger; free women in Torvaldsland commonly carry a knife; at her belt, too, hung her scissors, and a ring of many keys, indicating that her hall contained many chests or doors; her hair w... |
10 |
| 10 | 624 |
I did not wish, incidentally, even if I could, to give him a gift commensurate with what he had, in his hospitality, bestowed upon me; the host, in Torvaldsland, should make the greatest gifts; it is, after all, his house or hall; if his guest should make him greater gifts than he makes the guest th... |
10 |
| 12 | 89 |
"And, too," begged the Forkbeard, "by the fires of your hearth, by the timbers of the hall and the pillars of your high seat". |
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 |
| 13 | 2 |
The interior hall, not counting rooms leading from it on various sides, or the balcony which lined it, leading to other rooms, was some forty feet high, and forty feet in width, some two hundred feet in length. |
10 |
| 13 | 4 |
Behind this table, its back to the western wall, facing the length of the hall, facing east, was the high seat, or the rightful seat, the seat of the master of the house. |
10 |
| 13 | 15 |
There was, extending almost the length of the hall, a pit for a "long fire," over which food was prepared for retainers. |
10 |
| 13 | 16 |
On the long sides of the hall, on the north and south, there were long tables, with benches. |
10 |
| 13 | 19 |
If one sat between the salt and the high seat, one sat "above" the salt; if one sat between the salt and the entrance to the hall, one sat "below" the salt. |
10 |
| 13 | 22 |
The division was made approximately at the third of the hall closest to the high seat, but could shift, depending on the numbers of those in attendance worthy to be above the salt. |
10 |
| 13 | 23 |
The line, so to speak, imaginary to be sure, but definitely felt as a social reality, dividing those above from those below the salt, was uniformly "drawn" across the width of the hall. |
10 |
| 13 | 32 |
I describe those appointments characterizing the hall of Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 33 |
It is common, however, for the entrance of the hall to be oriented toward the morning sun, and for the high seat to face the entrance. |
10 |
| 13 | 37 |
About the edges of the hall hung the shields of warriors, with their weapons. |
10 |
| 13 | 41 |
The hall was ornately carved, and, above the shields, decorated with cunningly sewn tapestries and hangings. |
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 | 127 |
"May I pay my respects to you this night in your hall?" asked the Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 13 | 132 |
"Come tonight to our hall, Champion," said she. |
10 |
| 13 | 144 |
* * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 152 |
It was not unusual, incidentally, that the floor of the great hall, rich as it was, was of dirt, strewn with rushes. |
10 |
| 13 | 154 |
When the Forkbeard, and I, and other followers, many of them bearing riches, entered the hall we had been given a room to one side, in which we might wash and dry ourselves before the feast. |
10 |
| 13 | 161 |
Looking out through the window I could see the palisade about the hall and its associated buildings. |
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 | 205 |
The hall was light. |
10 |
| 13 | 212 |
* * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 13 | 220 |
More than one minstrel, too, was driven from the hall, the target of barrages of bones and plates. |
10 |
| 13 | 234 |
No Jarl I knew can hold men in his hall unless there are ample women for them. |
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 | 246 |
To the astonishment of all those in the hall, from the side room, boxes and sacks of gold were brought forth, by the Forkbeard's men, and, too, a large, heavy sack of leather, filled with tiny objects. |
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 | 298 |
Even the men of Svein Blue Tooth, perhaps a thousand in the hall, were angry. |
10 |
| 13 | 305 |
The Forkbeard turned and, facing the entrance of the hall, called out, "Bring forth the female". |
10 |
| 13 | 306 |
There was no sound in the great hall, save the crackle of the fires and torches. |
10 |
| 13 | 308 |
From the doors to the hall, swung wide, now approaching, came four figures, Ottar, who had accompanied the Forkbeard to the Thing, two of the Forkbeard's men, with spears, and, between them, clad in rich robes of concealment, such as are worn in the south, even to the veils, the figure of a girl. |
10 |
| 13 | 318 |
"I was once in the hall of Thorgard. |
10 |
| 13 | 335 |
I have been in his hall. |
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 | 354 |
There was another great cheer in the hall. |
10 |
| 13 | 402 |
It seemed we would come alive, after all, out of the hall of the Blue Tooth. |
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 | 425 |
Then, to the astonishment of all Torvaldsland, and most to that of Svein Blue Tooth, the Forkbeard, redoubtable, after earning six talmits in the contests, delivered to his hall the very wergild no man had supposed it possible to pay, and had then, arrogantly, before the high seat of the Blue Tooth ... |
10 |
| 13 | 434 |
Then there was silence in that high-roofed hall. |
10 |
| 13 | 441 |
"The hall is afire!" cried one man. |
10 |
| 13 | 448 |
Then one leapt within the hall. |
10 |
| 13 | 453 |
This cry, like a stimulus, acted upon the others, as well; almost instantly, with the velocity that the stranger signal can course through a pack of urts, this shriek was picked up by those with it; then, the hall filled with their horrid howling, eyes blazing, led by the Kur with the golden band, f... |
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 | 2 |
Kurii leapt down the long sides of the hall, slashing, cutting men down as they fled to their weapons. |
10 |
| 14 | 4 |
More than once the blades of the Kurii axes bit through the spines of men, reaching for their weapons, and splintered, gouging, in the beams of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 16 |
The hall rang with their howling. |
10 |
| 14 | 20 |
Then it threw the man more than a hundred feet against the back of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 42 |
Some men, behind Kurii, fled away, out of the great, opened, double doors of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 45 |
Many fled into the axes of the Kurii in the yard of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 76 |
The Kur who had taken the girl then took another leash from the interior of his shield, where there were several wrapped about the shield straps, and surveyed the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 78 |
Methodically, moving her toward a corner of the hall, leash swinging, he followed her. |
10 |
| 14 | 82 |
Turning I saw Svein Blue Tooth and four others, trying to splinter their way from the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 89 |
There had been more than a thousand men in the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 93 |
Then her leash was surrendered into the keeping of the Kur who held the others, and then the first Kur, leaving his prize in the care of the other, turned about, to hunt yet another delicacy from the herd within the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 95 |
The side doors, leading from the hall, were now also closed to us. |
10 |
| 14 | 96 |
Kurii, too, stood before the entrance to the hall, axes ready, eyes flaming. |
10 |
| 14 | 98 |
At our backs was the western wall of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 107 |
I heard a scream from a height, and, looking up, saw a human thrown from the balcony which ringed the hall, some thirty feet above the dirt floor, some ten feet below the roof beams. |
10 |
| 14 | 110 |
The smoke was thick in the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 147 |
Again in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth rang the blood shriek of the Kurii. |
10 |
| 14 | 155 |
There was uneven footing in the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 169 |
A beam fell, burning, from the roof at the southeastern corner of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 180 |
In rage it had cried, "A thousand of you can die beneath the claws of a single Kur!" There were perhaps now no more than a hundred or a hundred and fifty men left alive in the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 182 |
His ax, and those of his men, had shattered through the rear of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 190 |
The hangings which had decorated the hall were now gone, burned away, the walls scorched behind them. |
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 | 195 |
One who begged mercy in the center of the hall was cut in twain, the blade of the ax driving into the very dirt itself, emerging covered with dirt and blood, streaked with ash. |
10 |
| 14 | 197 |
"Red Hair," he cried, "the lamps!" Another beam from the roof, burning, dropped heavily to the floor of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 198 |
I saw the Kur who held the leashes of the caught bondmaids dragging the girls from the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 202 |
The Kur left the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 212 |
Kurii now encircled the group of men near the western wall of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 215 |
I saw Ivar Forkbeard standing among the huddled men near the western wall of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 226 |
Then again the Forkbeard's voice, through the smoke, the sparks, suddenly half choking, drifted across the hall to me. |
10 |
| 14 | 229 |
The tharlarion-oil lamps, on their chains, hanging from rings on the roof beams! The apertures in the ceiling of the hall, through which smoke might pass! He had intended that I would escape. |
10 |
| 14 | 270 |
Then he, with the others, turned about and, swiftly shambling, some looking back, fled the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 274 |
After him, I squeezed through one of the smoke holes in the roof of the burning hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 275 |
Then we were standing on the wooden-shingled blazing roof of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth. |
10 |
| 14 | 280 |
He sped to the northwest corner of the hall. |
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 | 9 |
Climbing down, I had seen Kurii moving about, but near the front of the hall. |
10 |
| 15 | 10 |
In the light of the burning hall, here and there, scattered in the dirt of the courtyard, we saw sprawled, scattered bodies, and parts of bodies. |
10 |
| 15 | 15 |
We slipped behind the hall, keeping, where possible, buildings between us and the yard. |
10 |
| 15 | 31 |
The attack had been simultaneously launched, obviously, on the hall and the surrounding Thing-Camps. |
