Shortly after the first "knock off," in which the ball is served to the enemy, Gorm, who was Ivar's partner, was struck cold with the ball, it driven from an opponent's bat; this, I gathered, is a common trick; it is very difficult to intercept or protect oneself from a ball struck at one with great... |

10 |

10 |
| 2 | 350 |
The eyes of the Forkbeard opened, and Ivar Forkbeard grinned at him. |
10 |
| 2 | 351 |
With a roar of laughter, hurling the shroud from him, to the horror of the High Initiate, and other Initiates, and the congregation, Ivar Forkbeard, almost seven feet in height, leaped to his feet, in his right hand clutching a great, curved, single-bladed ax of hardened iron. |

10 |
| 3 | 130 |

10 |
| 3 | 137 |
"Go to the bondmaid circle," said Ivar Forkbeard to the large girl, "but do not enter it". |
10 |
| 3 | 147 |
"Go to the circle and enter it," said Ivar Forkbeard to the girl. |
10 |
| 3 | 161 |

10 |
| 3 | 164 |

10 |
| 3 | 182 |
Ivar Forkbeard regarded Aelgifu. |
10 |
| 3 | 199 |
"In the north, my pretty maids," Ivar assured them, "the burdens you carry will be more prosaic, bundles of wood for the fires, buckets of water for the hall, baskets of dung for the fields". |
10 |
| 3 | 205 |
"Be silent, bondmaid," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 3 | 207 |

10 |
| 3 | 215 |
Standing on the broken fragments of the circle, Ivar Forkbeard cried out, his ax lifted, and his left hand, too, "Praise be to Odin!" And then, throwing his ax to his left shoulder, holding it there by his left hand he turned and faced the Sardar, and lifted his fist, clenched. |
10 |
| 3 | 219 |

10 |

10 |
| 3 | 259 |
Ivar permitted them to leave the temple. |
10 |
| 3 | 262 |
"Now let us leave," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 3 | 264 |
"You will hurry, pretty little bondmaids, and you, too, my large-breasted lovely," said Ivar, indicating black-velveted Aelgifu, "or you will be cut out of the coffle by your heads". |
10 |
| 3 | 272 |
Swiftly, down the dirt street to the wharves from the temple, striding, but not running, moved Ivar Forkbeard with his men, and his loot, both that of female flesh and gold. |
10 |
| 3 | 286 |
Ivar Forkbeard then took Aelgifu by the hair and turned her, so that those following might see. |
10 |
| 3 | 291 |
"Do not fight them! Let them go!" Ivar Forkbeard released Aelgifu and thrust her rudely, stumbling, ahead of him. |
10 |
| 3 | 292 |
"Hurry!" called Ivar Forkbeard to his men. |
10 |
| 3 | 300 |
"You see," cried the blond girl, delightedly, "my bondage is short!" "Citizens of Kassau!" called out Ivar Forkbeard cheerily. |
10 |
| 3 | 301 |
"Greetings from Ivar Forkbeard!" The men looked at him, tense, hunched over, weapons ready, angry. |
10 |
| 3 | 313 |
Ivar Forkbeard reached out his hands and took from one of his men the bowl of coins which the poor had brought as their pitiful offerings to the temple of Kassau. |
10 |

"Do not delay overlong," suggested Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 3 | 364 |
"Do not fire," called Ivar Forkbeard to his bowmen. |
10 |
| 3 | 368 |
"Cast off," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 3 | 379 |
It seemed Aelgifu, proud and rich, would go barefoot, like a peasant wench or a stripped bondmaid, by the will of Ivar Forkbeard, until her ransom was paid on the skerry of Einar five nights from this night, by the rune-stone of the Torvaldsmark. |
10 |
| 3 | 381 |
Ivar Forkbeard went to the bondmaids. |
10 |
| 3 | 392 |
Ivar Forkbeard reached down to the planking on the deck and picked up Aelgifu's shoes and hose, where they had been discarded when they had been removed and her ankles bound. |
10 |
| 3 | 411 |

The Forkbeard and I Return to Our Game Ivar Forkbeard, leaning over the side of his serpent, studied the coloring of the water. |
10 |
| 4 | 6 |
"There is plankton here," said Ivar, "that of the banks south of the skerry of Einar, and the temperature of the water tells me that we are now in the stream of Torvald, which moves eastward to the coast and then north". |
10 |
| 4 | 20 |
Ivar Forkbeard went to the mast. |
10 |
| 4 | 27 |
"Tomorrow night," said Ivar Forkbeard to her, "I shall have your ransom money". |
10 |
| 4 | 169 |
For a clinker-built ship, the serpent of Ivar Forkbeard was extraordinarily tight. |
10 |
| 4 | 303 |
Ivar Forkbeard approached Aelgifu with the small bowl of gruel. |
10 |
| 5 | 2 |
The men of Ivar Forkbeard, too, suddenly came alive. |
10 |
| 5 | 7 |
"Do not disturb the arrangement of the pieces," said Ivar Forkbeard, leaving the board. |
10 |
| 5 | 31 |
"We have time," said Ivar Forkbeard, "for another move or two". |
10 |
| 5 | 45 |
"Excellent," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 49 |
"He is an enemy," said Ivar Forkbeard, simply. |
10 |
| 5 | 51 |
"The shipping of Port Kar," smiled Ivar Forkbeard, "is not uniquely distinguished in this respect". |
10 |
| 5 | 70 |
"You play Kaissa well," had said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 81 |
"Shall I get the great bow from my belongings?" I asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 94 |
"It has a much higher freeboard area than this vessel," I told Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 101 |
"It has forty benches," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 110 |
"When I engage Thorgard of Scagnar," said Ivar Forkbeard, "I shall do so to my advantage, not his". |
10 |
| 5 | 112 |
"Do not disturb the pieces," said Ivar, getting up. |
10 |
| 5 | 117 |
Ivar Forkbeard went to him, as might have a father, and took his head in his hands, and held it against his chest. |
10 |
| 5 | 133 |
"That will encourage them to row their best," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 140 |
"Throw the bondmaids between the benches and secure them," said Ivar, to those steadying them at the rail. |
10 |
| 5 | 144 |
"You on the starboard side, display now the loot of Kassau's temple!" Rowers of Ivar Forkbeard now took their place at the port side. |
10 |
| 5 | 172 |
"Benches!" laughed Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 176 |
"Stroke!" called Ivar. |
10 |
| 5 | 180 |
The prow of the serpent of Ivar Forkbeard leaped from the water and its stern went almost awash. |
10 |
| 5 | 183 |
The serpent of Ivar Forkbeard leaped toward the line of the horizon. |
10 |
| 5 | 189 |
Another javelin, and four more arrows, sped to the ship of Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 204 |
Under sail alone the serpent of Ivar Forkbeard, almost scornfully, left her behind. |
10 |
| 5 | 214 |
"Take course," said Ivar Forkbeard, to his helmsman, "for the skerry of Einar". |
10 |
| 5 | 217 |
It was there, at the rune-stone of the Torvaldsmark, that Ivar Forkbeard would receive her ransom. |
10 |
| 5 | 219 |
"I did not think it would be," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 221 |
What is the name of your ship, if I may know?" "The name of my ship," said Ivar, "is the Hilda". |
10 |
| 5 | 225 |
"That is the name of the daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 227 |
"The Hilda is my ship," said Ivar Forkbeard, "and the daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar will be my bondmaid". |
10 |
| 5 | 230 |
There was silence on the ship of Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 5 | 231 |
Ivar, and four men, had taken the longboat, which is tied, keel up, on the decking of the after quarter, and made their way to the skerry. |
10 |
| 5 | 233 |
Gorm, who seemed second to Ivar, and I, stood at the railing near the prow on the port side of the serpent. |
10 |
| 5 | 236 |
Ivar had left the ship in good humor. |
10 |
| 5 | 243 |
"Have you a coin you wish to check?" had asked Ivar, seriously, of me. |
10 |
| 5 | 258 |
"The worst," said Ivar Forkbeard, "is likely to be the coinage of Lydius". |
10 |
| 5 | 271 |
"I have two pair of scales," admitted Ivar Forkbeard, grinning. |
10 |
| 5 | 277 |
But now, with Gorm, and the men of Ivar Forkbeard, I waited, in silence, on his serpent. |
10 |
| 6 | 11 |
Ivar Forkbeard, at the prow, lifted a great, curved bronze horn and blew a blast. |
10 |
| 6 | 26 |
Again Ivar Forkbeard winded the great bronze horn. |
10 |
| 6 | 66 |
It would be holiday, I gathered, at the hall of Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 77 |
Ivar Forkbeard, crying out, leaped from moving oar to moving oar, proceeding from the oars nearest the stem on the port side to the stern, then leaping back onto the deck at the stern quarter and leaping again on the oars, this time on the starboard side, and proceeding from the oar nearest the ster... |
10 |
| 6 | 82 |
The serpent of Ivar Forkbeard, gently, slid against the rolls of leather hung at the side of the dock. |
10 |
| 6 | 86 |
"I have eighteen others!" called Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 102 |
The slender, blond girl, the hand of Ivar Forkbeard on her arm, was thrust to the head of the gangplank. |
10 |
| 6 | 104 |
Gorm then stood beside Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 111 |
"Drink," said Ivar Forkbeard, thrusting the cup into the hands of the slender, blond girl, she who had, so long ago, in the temple of Kassau, worn the snood of scarlet yarn, with twisted golden wire, the red vest and skirt, the white blouse. |
10 |
| 6 | 127 |
One by one, the prizes of Ivar Forkbeard, even the rich, proud Aelgifu, were forced to down the slave wine. |
10 |
| 6 | 129 |
Ivar Forkbeard then, followed by Gorm, and myself, and his men, descended the gangplank. |
10 |
| 6 | 154 |
"Ottar enjoys sport," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 159 |
Ottar, in the absence of Ivar Forkbeard, kept his cattle, his properties, his farm and accounts. |
10 |
| 6 | 242 |
"Remove your clothing, my pretty one," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 247 |
Ivar licked his lips. |
10 |
| 6 | 250 |
"Will she not be a tasty morsel indeed?" Ivar asked his men. |
10 |
| 6 | 253 |
"Run to the iron, wench," suddenly commanded Ivar Forkbeard, harshly. |
10 |
| 6 | 294 |
"Hurry, Bondmaids!" cried Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 296 |
* * * * Ivar Forkbeard roared with laughter, his head back. |
10 |
| 6 | 310 |
The hall of Ivar Forkbeard, I learned, to my surprise, was of a type much more common. |
10 |
| 6 | 318 |
The hall of Ivar Forkbeard was a longhouse. |
10 |
| 6 | 343 |
With his belt knife, thrusting Pudding and Gunnhild back, Ivar Forkbeard addressed himself to the cutting of the meat. |
10 |
| 6 | 350 |
"Well," said Ivar Forkbeard to me, "I am an outlaw". |
10 |
| 6 | 359 |
I tore a piece of meat from what Ivar had thrown me and held it to Thyri. |
10 |
| 6 | 368 |
"Why did you come to Torvaldsland?" suddenly asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 371 |
"They are dangerous," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 374 |
Ivar looked at him. |
10 |
| 6 | 378 |
"Doubtless he has left the district," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 380 |
"No," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 384 |
"That is known to me," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 385 |
I did not tell Ivar that those he knew as Kurii, or the beasts, were actually specimens of an alien race, that they, or those in their ships, were locked in war with Priest-Kings for the domination of two worlds, Gor and the Earth. |
10 |
| 6 | 404 |
"How will you know the one of the Kurii whom you seek?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 406 |
"You are a brave, or foolish, man," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 409 |
"You are of the south," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 413 |
I saw several of the bondmaids in the arms of Ivar's men. |
10 |
| 6 | 420 |
"Your bondmaid begs you not to stop!" "I am an outlaw," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 430 |
"He was my Jarl," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 434 |
"And thus," said I, "that your outlawry would remain in effect until you were apprehended or slain?" "He hoped to drive me from Torvaldsland," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 436 |
Ivar grinned. |
10 |
| 6 | 439 |
"How much," asked I, "is the wergild?" "A hundred stone of gold," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 443 |
"Are you not surprised?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 445 |
"You know, however, what I did in the south?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 451 |
"Now," laughed Ivar Forkbeard, "I expect that these nights Svein Blue Tooth rests less well in his furs". |
10 |
| 6 | 453 |
"But there is one thing more which the Blue Tooth demanded of me," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 460 |
"You are of Port Kar," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 465 |
"Would you say," asked Ivar, "that he is your enemy?" "Yes," I said, "I would say that he is my enemy". |
10 |
| 6 | 466 |
"You hunt one of the Kurii," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 6 | 473 |
"I think, soon," said he, "his daughter might be fetched to the hall of Ivar Forkbeard". |
10 |
| 6 | 489 |
"Feast!" called Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 6 | 491 |
Though the hall of Ivar Forkbeard was built only of turf and stone, and though he himself was outlaw, he had met me at its door, after I had been bidden wait outside, in his finest garments of scarlet and gold, and carrying a bowl of water and a towel. |
10 |
| 6 | 492 |
"Welcome to the hall of Ivar Forkbeard," he had said. |
10 |
| 7 | 88 |
"It is not bad bread," said Ivar Forkbeard to me, when she had disappeared from sight. |
10 |
| 7 | 176 |
"I hear, Red Hair," said Ivar Forkbeard, "that your lessons with the ax proceed well". |
10 |
| 7 | 178 |
"I, too, am pleased that he should think so," said Ivar Forkbeard, "for that is indication that it is true". |
10 |
| 7 | 183 |
"That we are pleased to feast," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 7 | 208 |
"Red Hair!" called Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 7 | 211 |
Outside were gathered several men, both of Ivar's ship and of the farm. |
10 |
| 7 | 215 |
Then, on a height, from which we could see, far below, the farm and ship of Ivar Forkbeard, we stopped. |
10 |
| 7 | 225 |
"Do you not know," asked Ivar Forkbeard, "of what animal this is the work?" "No," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 236 |
There might, for all we knew, be somewhere in the lands of Ivar Forkbeard one of the Kurii. |
10 |
| 7 | 300 |
"No!" cried Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 7 | 304 |
"Get it out of here," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 7 | 322 |
"Kurii," said Ivar Forkbeard, "are fond of human flesh". |
10 |
| 7 | 330 |
"Kill it," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 7 | 332 |
"No," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 8 | 127 |
Ivar Forkbeard quickly pulled the bracelets and rings from her wrists and fingers. |
10 |
| 8 | 130 |
Ivar tore the golden string from her hair, loosening it. |
10 |
| 8 | 143 |
Ivar's dagger was at her throat. |
10 |
| 8 | 150 |
"No," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 8 | 164 |
"You are fools! You will never get me past the guards!" "I have no intention of getting you past the guards," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 8 | 168 |
Ivar went to the window. |
10 |
| 8 | 175 |
Below, at the nineteenth hour, in the longboat of Ivar's ship, was Gorm, with four oarsmen. |
10 |
| 8 | 178 |
"Remove, and swiftly," said she, "these disgusting fetters!" Ivar Forkbeard went to the door of her room and, silently, slipped the two beams into place, in their iron brackets. |
10 |
| 8 | 180 |
Her throat, where Ivar had torn away the collar of the green gown, was now bared. |
10 |
| 8 | 187 |
Ivar Forkbeard then bent to the girl's feet and pulled away her golden shoes, and, his hands at her legs, she, her eyes closed, removed from her, too, her scarlet, silken hose, of the style of Ar. |
10 |
| 8 | 205 |
"What is that?" asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 8 | 273 |
"What has Thorgard of Scagnar to do with such a beast?" smiled Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 8 | 275 |
"Doubtless it means nothing," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 8 | 278 |
"I have an appointment with Svein Blue Tooth," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 8 | 284 |
"But surely," I said, "you will not dare, an outlaw, attend the Thing?" "Perhaps," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 8 | 288 |
"Perhaps the one you hunt," said Ivar, "is even now within the holding of Thorgard of Scagnar". |
10 |
| 8 | 293 |
"How will you know the one of the Kurii whom you seek?" Ivar had asked me, in his hall. |
10 |
| 8 | 307 |
"Let us go," said I to Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 9 | 5 |
About me I heard the joyous cries of the men of Ivar's farm, the excited cries of bondmaids. |
10 |
| 9 | 6 |
Ivar Forkbeard crushed to his leather Pudding and Gunnhild, kissing first one and then the other, as each eagerly sought his lips, their hands, too, those of bondmaids, eager upon his body. |
10 |
| 9 | 44 |
On the second day, it had been thrust up only that the spike of a water bag could be thrust between her teeth, and then replaced; on her third day the coverlet was torn away and, with the scarf, thrown overboard; Ivar Forkbeard, on that day, watered her and, with a spoon, fed her a bit of bondmaid g... |
10 |
| 9 | 80 |
Ivar Forkbeard left the dock, his arms about Pudding and Gunnhild, who leaned against him. |
10 |
| 9 | 97 |
"You have taught me to heel," she said, "Ivar Forkbeard, but you have not taught me to obey!" "Strip her," said the Forkbeard to the bondmaids. |
10 |
| 9 | 115 |
"How dare you place me in this position, Ivar Forkbeard!" she demanded. |
10 |
| 9 | 116 |
"I am a free woman!" "Bring the five-strap slave slash," said Ivar Forkbeard to Gunnhild. |
10 |
| 9 | 121 |
The lash was placed by Gunnhild in the hand of Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 9 | 130 |
"I will obey you!" Ivar Forkbeard, experienced in the disciplining of women, did not deliver the second stroke for a full Ehn. |
10 |
| 9 | 163 |
"Yes, Ivar Forkbeard," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 167 |
"Tonight we feast," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 9 | 172 |
"Yes," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 9 | 175 |
"Yes," said she, "Ivar Forkbeard". |
10 |
| 9 | 195 |
"Mead!" called Ivar Forkbeard, from across from me. |
10 |
| 9 | 204 |
Mighty insult had thus been wrought upon Thorgard of Scagnar, enemy of Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 9 | 207 |
Rich was the pleasure of Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 9 | 215 |
"Do not misunderstand me, Ivar Forkbeard," whispered Hilda. |
10 |
| 9 | 230 |
"Are you not curious," asked Ivar of the daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, "what it would be to feel on your body their hands, their mouths?" "Men are beasts!" she cried. |
10 |
| 9 | 243 |
"Silence!" called out Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 9 | 245 |
"What," asked Ivar Forkbeard of Hilda, "if I should order you to the furs?" "I would obey you immediately," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 247 |
"But of your own free will you would be unlikely to enter upon the furs?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 9 | 278 |
Late and fully were we feasting when the thrall-boy, tugging on the sleeve of Ivar Forkbeard, said to him, "My Jarl, the wench in the ice shed begs to be freed". |
10 |
| 9 | 285 |
Ivar was fond of him. |
10 |
| 9 | 302 |
"Please," she wept, piteously, "I beg to be permitted to run to the furs of Ivar Forkbeard". |
10 |
| 9 | 333 |
"I beg to share your furs, Ivar Forkbeard," she wept. |
10 |
| 9 | 342 |
"Mead!" called Ivar Forkbeard, returning to the table. |
10 |
| 9 | 344 |
"Please come to my side, Ivar Forkbeard!" wept Hilda. |
10 |
| 9 | 361 |
I bet on Ivar Forkbeard. |
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 | 367 |
"I am yours, Ivar Forkbeard," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 374 |
Even now she was, kneeling on his furs, being fettered by the keeper of Ivar Forkbeard's farm. |
10 |
| 9 | 475 |
Ivar Forkbeard, not wisely perhaps, was determined to attend the Thing. |
10 |
| 10 | 58 |
Ivar then asked me to be his partner. |
10 |
| 10 | 60 |
"It is all right," said Ivar, "even the bravest of men may decline a contest of bat-and-ball". |
10 |
| 10 | 63 |
Ivar Forkbeard, or Thorgeir of Ax Glacier, as we might call him, had won, all told, counting the swimming talmit, six talmits. |
10 |
| 10 | 66 |
"Let us, this afternoon," said Ivar Forkbeard, "give ourselves to strolling". |
10 |
| 10 | 112 |
"High-farm girls!" she whispered, as she passed the bondmaids of Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 10 | 122 |
The bondmaids of Ivar Forkbeard laughed delightedly. |
10 |
| 10 | 161 |
"He is a famous champion," said Ivar, whispering to me, nodding to the large, burly fellow. |
10 |
| 10 | 173 |
"I do not care much for the making of women of Torvaldsland bond," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 10 | 180 |
"Why do you not challenge a baby?" asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 10 | 184 |
"Will she be branded there, and collared?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 10 | 186 |
"She is of Torvaldsland," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 10 | 191 |
Ivar looked at me. |
10 |
| 10 | 295 |
I noted that the bondmaids of Ivar Forkbeard attracted more than their expected share of attention. |
10 |
| 10 | 297 |
"Your girls walk well," I told Ivar. |
10 |
| 10 | 300 |
The girls wore their kirtles as they did not simply that the riches owned by Ivar Forkbeard might be well displayed, the better to excite the envy of others and brighten his vanity, but for another reason as well; the female slave, knowing she is slave, finds it stimulating to be exposed to the insp... |
10 |
| 10 | 327 |
"To the platform!" roared Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 10 | 443 |
"Should this thrall," she asked, indicating Tarsk, once Wulfstan of Kassau, "be permitted to look upon the beauty of bondmaids?" "What do you mean?" asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 10 | 452 |
"I think," said Ivar Forkbeard, "that I will send him back to the tent". |
10 |
| 10 | 616 |
Ivar Forkbeard had won six talmits. |
10 |
| 11 | 97 |
"They do not have white fur," said I to Ivar Forkbeard, standing now beside me. |
10 |
| 11 | 125 |
Beside me, Ivar Forkbeard, too, laughed, and then others. |
10 |
| 11 | 166 |
"What crop," asked Ivar Forkbeard, who wore a hood, of the platform, "do the Kurii most favor in their agricultural pursuits?" I saw the ears of the Kur lie swiftly back against its head. |
10 |
| 11 | 173 |
Ivar then spoke swiftly to one of his men. |
10 |
| 11 | 256 |
Would we have offered as much to a herd of cattle that might stand between us and a desired destination? I saw then the man of Ivar Forkbeard, whom he had earlier sent from his side, climbing to the platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 266 |
The Jarl, then, took, from the hands of Ivar Forkbeard's man, the leather-wrapped object. |
10 |
| 11 | 295 |
"We are done with them," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 11 | 299 |
"I have won six talmits," Ivar Forkbeard reminded me. |
10 |
| 11 | 308 |
"It is the Torvaldsberg," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 11 | 310 |
"In the legends, it is said that Torvald sleeps in the mountain," smiled Ivar Forkbeard, "to awaken when, once more, he is needed in Torvaldsland". |
10 |
| 12 | 1 |
Ivar Forkbeard Introduces Himself to Svein Blue Tooth About my forehead were bound two talmits, one which I had won in wrestling, the other in archery. |
10 |
| 12 | 25 |
Ivar Forkbeard had won six talmits. |
10 |
| 12 | 43 |
Ivar Forkbeard, large, robed in gray, hooded in gray, stood beside me. |
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 | 57 |
Ivar Forkbeard, Thorgeir of Ax Glacier, now stood, hooded, on the top stair of the dais, before his enemy. |
10 |
| 12 | 62 |
Ivar drew back his head. |
10 |
| 12 | 66 |
Ivar Forkbeard shrugged and spread his hands, as though he had been found out, as though his ruse had failed. |
10 |
| 12 | 69 |
Ivar was silent. |
10 |
| 12 | 71 |
Ivar looked at him, as though startled at his perception. |
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 | 102 |
Ivar Forkbeard threw back his hood. |
10 |
| 12 | 103 |
"My name is Ivar Forkbeard," he said. |
10 |
| 13 | 25 |
In Ivar Forkbeard's hall, incidentally, the salt distinctions were not drawn; in his hall, all being comrades in arms, all were "above the salt". |
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 | 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 | 76 |
"Yes, it is I, Ivar Forkbeard!" The men-at-arms of Svein Blue Tooth were now uncomfortably close. |
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 | 114 |
"You frown upon me, and would put me below the salt," said Ivar Forkbeard, "because I am outlaw". |
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 | 120 |
"You have heard," inquired Ivar Forkbeard, "of the freeing of Chenbar, the Sea Sleen, from the dungeons of Port Kar?" He smiled. |
10 |
| 13 | 166 |
I turned to Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 13 | 188 |
"Do not fear," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 13 | 203 |
"The Forkbeard greets you!" shouted Ivar. |
10 |
| 13 | 227 |
Had Ivar Forkbeard broken into song I would have given little for our chances. |
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 | 275 |
Ivar Forkbeard stood behind these riches, and grinned, and spread his hands. |
10 |
| 13 | 284 |
"Oh, my Jarl?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 13 | 293 |
"No one, not an army or a fleet," cried another, "could take the daughter of so powerful a Jarl as Thorgard of Scagnar!" "You seem to ask the impossible, my Jarl," observed Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 13 | 295 |
"Of you, my friend, Ivar Forkbeard, I choose to ask the impossible". |
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 | 349 |
She regarded Ivar, and me, and his men, with fury. |
10 |
| 13 | 351 |
"Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland, meet Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 13 | 365 |
"You see, my Jarl," said she, lifting her head proudly and pulling her rich, glistening robes some inches down upon her shoulders, "I wear the collar of Ivar Forkbeard". |
10 |
| 13 | 367 |
"You have dared to collar the daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar!" cried Bera to Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 13 | 392 |
It had been done by the hand of Ivar Forkbeard himself, before dawn, some days ago, shortly before his ship had left for the Thing. |
10 |
| 13 | 407 |
"I think there is some mistake," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 13 | 410 |
"How is it that the wergild is met?" asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
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 |
| 14 | 32 |
I briefly saw Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 14 | 84 |
I saw Ivar Forkbeard nearby. |
10 |
| 14 | 105 |
"Your blade is useless," said Ivar Forkbeard, now standing at my side. |
10 |
| 14 | 117 |
"Spears!" cried Ivar. |
10 |
| 14 | 133 |
"Attack!" cried Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 14 | 154 |
I saw Ivar Forkbeard, his sword gone, lost in the body of a nearby Kur, his knife in his hand, one hand thrusting away and upward the jaws of a Kur, repeatedly plunge his knife into the huge chest of the beast. |
10 |
| 14 | 175 |
I saw Ivar Forkbeard, with a spear, set himself against the charge of an unarmed Kur. |
10 |
| 14 | 177 |
The spear's shaft gouged a trench six inches deep behind him, and then stopped, and the Kur, biting in the air, eyes like fire, backed away, and fell backward; Ivar leaped away as another ax sought him. |
10 |
| 14 | 188 |
Ivar Forkbeard, and others, too, were similarly cut off. |
10 |
| 14 | 215 |
I saw Ivar Forkbeard standing among the huddled men near the western wall of the hall. |
10 |
| 14 | 277 |
"Follow me," cried Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 2 |
Ivar and I looked behind us. |
10 |
| 15 | 4 |
"Let us rest," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 41 |
"Black Sleen," said Ivar, "the ship of Thorgard of Scagnar!" There were hundreds of Kurii between us and the ships. |
10 |
| 15 | 42 |
Ivar and I had looked at one another. |
10 |
| 15 | 77 |
Ivar had motioned me to silence. |
10 |
| 15 | 86 |
"Would we not move about more freely," inquired Ivar Forkbeard, "if we, too, sported scarves of yellow?" "It is not impossible," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 90 |
Ivar had thrust the yellow scarf into his belt; I looped mine over the left shoulder, fastening it loosely at the right hip; we left Thorgard's two men for the Kurii. |
10 |
| 15 | 91 |
In the journey to Ivar's tent a Kur loomed before us, snarling. |
10 |
| 15 | 92 |
"Foolish beast, stupid animal," said Ivar, brandishing his scarf, "can you not see the yellow scarf?" He then brushed past the Kur. |
10 |
| 15 | 100 |
Shortly thereafter Ivar, fists clenched, stood on the site of his camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 110 |
Ivar joined me. |
10 |
| 15 | 117 |
"It is quite possible," said Ivar, looking at me, "that we are being hunted now, by those from the hall". |
10 |
| 15 | 120 |
"What do you propose?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 122 |
"No," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 131 |
"It is time," said Ivar Forkbeard, turning away from me, "to go to the Torvaldsberg". |
10 |
| 15 | 140 |
"Let us continue our journey," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 142 |
"No," said Ivar, "let us continue our journey". |
10 |
| 15 | 158 |
Ivar Forkbeard stood up. |
10 |
| 15 | 172 |
"Move only one hand or a foot at a time," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 192 |
It must have been about the fourteenth Ahn when Ivar reached down and helped me to a ledge. |
10 |
| 15 | 204 |
Ivar smiled. |
10 |
| 15 | 225 |
"As a boy, thus," said Ivar, "I slew my first Kur". |
10 |
| 15 | 240 |
"The hand holds," said Ivar, "were not cut to be deep enough to support the weight of a Kur". |
10 |
| 15 | 243 |
The rock hurled by Ivar struck it from the almost vertical wall of stone. |
10 |
| 15 | 246 |
I admired Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 15 | 284 |
"Would you like to hear me sing?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 286 |
Undeterred by my sarcasm, brilliant though it was, Ivar broke into song. |
10 |
| 15 | 289 |
"Song, you see," said Ivar, "soothes even Kurii". |
10 |
| 15 | 306 |
I recalled the two Kurii, precariously clinging to the wall of rock, one of which had fallen attempting to reach us, the other of which Ivar had struck from the wall with a heavy stone. |
10 |
| 15 | 308 |
"There they are," said Ivar, looking over the brink. |
10 |
| 15 | 324 |
Ivar stood beside me, not speaking. |
10 |
| 15 | 326 |
"Yes," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 348 |
Ivar and I leaped from the rock; the two Kurii, one to each of us, approached. |
10 |
| 15 | 388 |
I saw Ivar, on the flat above, wild-eyed. |
10 |
| 15 | 389 |
"Ivar!" I cried. |
10 |
| 15 | 390 |
"Ivar!" I heard the blood shriek of an unseen Kur. |
10 |
| 15 | 391 |
Ivar turned and leaped to the ledge below, joining me. |
10 |
| 15 | 400 |
Ivar nodded. |
10 |
| 15 | 430 |
"Come with me," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 436 |
"Here," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 15 | 441 |
"Follow me!" whispered Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 16 | 26 |
"These are old runes," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 16 | 28 |
"No," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 16 | 42 |
It was drawn by one who had been familiar with a world unknown to Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 16 | 57 |
"Can you not read these runes?" I asked Ivar, again. |
10 |
| 16 | 59 |
Ivar's reply was not a little belligerent. |
10 |
| 16 | 62 |
Ivar's attitude toward reading was not unlike that of many of the north. |
10 |
| 16 | 64 |
Ivar, like many of those in the north, was a passable reader, but took care to conceal this fact. |
10 |
| 16 | 126 |
Ivar Forkbeard, lifting his torch, entered the great chamber. |
10 |
| 16 | 174 |
"Where is Torvald?" cried out Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 16 | 184 |
"This is not a tomb," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 16 | 190 |
Ivar Forkbeard looked at me. |
10 |
| 16 | 210 |
Here they would find not Torvald, but themselves, themselves, Ivar, alone, and an arrow of war". |
10 |
| 16 | 211 |
"I do not understand," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 16 | 213 |
Ivar looked at me. |
10 |
| 16 | 215 |
"The chamber is empty," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 17 | 4 |
At the feet of Ivar Forkbeard, head to the ground, nude, waiting to be commanded, knelt Hilda the Haughty, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar. |
10 |
| 17 | 5 |
"Go," said Ivar to her. |
10 |
| 17 | 69 |
He had been the third, after Ivar Forkbeard and Tarl Cabot, a warrior of Ko-ro-ba, to lift the arrow of Torvald. |
10 |
| 17 | 178 |
"It is almost time," said Ivar Forkbeard to me. |
10 |
| 17 | 181 |
I did not envy Hilda, Ivar's slave. |
10 |
| 17 | 187 |
"There," said Ivar, pointing. |
10 |
| 17 | 209 |
"I wish," said Ivar Forkbeard, "that I had such a herd". |
10 |
| 17 | 215 |
Too, among them now, prisoner, was Hilda, perhaps Ivar's preferred slave. |
10 |
| 17 | 248 |
"It is beginning," said Ivar Forkbeard to me. |
10 |
| 17 | 270 |
"What is it?" I asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 17 | 287 |
Ivar Forkbeard suddenly threw back his head and, silently, screamed at the sky. |
10 |
| 17 | 292 |
I could no longer look on Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 32 |
Once I saw Thorgard of Scagnar and Ivar Forkbeard trying to reach him. |
10 |
| 18 | 33 |
But Ivar was blocked by Kurii and warriors, and joined in their combat. |
10 |
| 18 | 106 |
"Where is Thorgard of Scagnar?" asked Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 110 |
Behind Ivar Forkbeard, naked, wearing his collar, I saw Hilda, Thorgard's daughter. |
10 |
| 18 | 112 |
Quickly Ivar and myself hurried to the verr pens. |
10 |
| 18 | 135 |
"It seems," grinned Ivar Forkbeard, "we have a worthy adversary". |
10 |
| 18 | 137 |
"They must be held!" said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 198 |
I saw Pretty Ankles put out her hand to Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 230 |
"They will wait for night," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 244 |
"Good," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 249 |
"Your plan has failed," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 262 |
"They have had their fill of blood," said Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 269 |
At the same time Ivar Forkbeard and myself looked to one another. |
10 |
| 18 | 287 |
We heard, even from behind the herd, Ivar, and I, and a hundred men, screaming and shouting, the howling, the startled shrieks of Kurii, the enraged roars of Kurii. |
10 |
| 18 | 303 |
Ivar and I strode through the burning camp, axes in our hand. |
10 |
| 18 | 310 |
Ivar blew Pouting Lips a kiss, in the Gorean fashion, brushing the kiss with his fingertips toward her. |
10 |
| 18 | 315 |
Ivar and I laughed. |
10 |
| 18 | 319 |
Hilda knelt to Ivar Forkbeard, her hair to his feet. |
10 |
| 18 | 322 |
"Then, heel," said Ivar, good-naturedly, turning away. |
10 |
| 18 | 325 |
Ivar and I, swiftly, circled the tent. |
10 |
| 18 | 329 |
Ivar motioned me back. |
10 |
| 18 | 348 |
Ivar was pleased. |
10 |
| 18 | 357 |
"I love you!" "The wench is yours," laughed Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 374 |
Ivar and I had little doubt that Wulfstan, upon reflection, would indeed retrieve his pretty Thyri, vital and slim, from the pen, and, indeed, perhaps others as well. |
10 |
| 18 | 381 |
Ivar Forkbeard, followed by Tarl Red Hair and Wulfstan of Torvaldsland, heeled by the bondmaid, Hilda, picked his way toward the burned, looted tents of Thorgard of Scagnar. |

"Ivar Forkbeard!" cried the man holding the helmet. |
10 |
| 18 | 408 |
He lifted the helmet to Ivar. |
10 |
| 18 | 409 |
Over the helmet Ivar doubled and held his fist, making the sign of Thor. |
10 |
| 18 | 420 |
"Come," said Ivar to us. |
10 |
| 18 | 426 |
"A high officer," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 18 | 452 |
"Ivar!" cried a voice. |
10 |
| 18 | 453 |
Ivar Forkbeard looked up, to see Ottar up the slope of the valley, waving to him. |
10 |
| 18 | 485 |
By the ring of the Kur collar which she wore Ivar Forkbeard jerked her to her feet, so that she stood on her tiptoes, looking up at him. |
10 |
| 18 | 492 |
"How is this?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 18 | 493 |
"Recollect you, my Jarl," asked Olga, "the golden girl, she with ringed ears, from the south, who lost in the assessments of beauty to Gunnhild?" "Well do I do so," responded Ivar, licking his lips. |
10 |
| 18 | 497 |
Lying in the dirt, her legs drawn up, her wrists tied behind her back, was the deliciously bodied little wench, dark-haired, in gold silk, now dirtied and torn, in golden collar, and gold earrings, who had exchanged words with Ivar's wool-kirtled wenches at the Thing. |
10 |
| 18 | 506 |
"Your master," said Ivar, thinking, recollecting the captain behind whom he had seen her heeling at the Thing, "is Rolf of Red Fjord". |
10 |
| 18 | 516 |
"Who is your master?" inquired Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 526 |
By this tether Gorm dragged him before Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 528 |
Then, eyes terrified, she regarded Ivar Forkbeard, of Forkbeard's Landfall. |
10 |
| 18 | 536 |
"I think," said Ivar Forkbeard, "I will give her for a month to Gunnhild, and my other wenches. |
10 |
| 18 | 539 |
Ivar turned to regard Thorgard of Scagnar. |
10 |
| 18 | 566 |
"No man is without his weakness," said Ivar. |
10 |
| 18 | 588 |
Then Ivar Forkbeard, as we followed, step by step, drove Thorgard back. |
10 |
| 18 | 607 |
The men of Ivar Forkbeard were stunned. |
10 |
| 18 | 608 |
Ivar returned to us. |
10 |

"The bridge of jewels worked well," said Svein Blue Tooth to Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 18 | 630 |
"Did any escape?" inquired Ivar. |
10 |
| 18 | 668 |
Ivar Forkbeard and Svein Blue Tooth might congratulate themselves on their victory. |
10 |
| 18 | 686 |
"Are you all right?" asked Ivar. |
10 |
| 19 | 5 |
He stopped before Svein Blue Tooth and Ivar Forkbeard, who, on seats of rock, awaited it. |
10 |
| 19 | 6 |
Ivar, chewing on a vulo wing, motioned Hilda, and Gunnhild, Pudding and Honey Cake, who, naked and collared, his girls, knelt about him, to withdraw. |
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 | 42 |
"It is five pasangs to the north," said Ivar Forkbeard, "and two pasangs offshore". |
10 |
| 20 | 167 |
It was Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 20 | 171 |
On the tiny rock promontory, footing the skerry, some eight or nine feet in width, I met Ivar Forkbeard, and his men. |
10 |
| 21 | 72 |
"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 | 76 |
"Svein Blue Tooth and I," said Ivar Forkbeard, rising, spilling Hilda from his lap, "have had our differences". |
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 | 91 |
Ivar, no longer outlaw, now stood among the Jarls of the north. |
10 |
| 21 | 95 |
For a man to be great, had said Ivar Forkbeard, he must need great enemies. |
10 |
| 21 | 106 |
"Gifts!" cried Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 21 | 110 |
Knee deep in the riches waded Ivar and, laughing, hurled untold wealth to those in the hall. |
10 |
| 21 | 115 |
Ivar Forkbeard himself came to me, and pressed into my hand a sapphire of Schendi. |
10 |
| 21 | 116 |
"Thank you," said I, "Ivar Forkbeard". |
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 | 214 |
"He called you 'Bosk of Port Kar,'" said Ivar Forkbeard, standing near me. |
10 |
| 21 | 252 |
"I shall drink it," I told Ivar Forkbeard. |
10 |
| 21 | 256 |
"You, you called Sarus of Tyros," said Ivar, "you drink first". |
10 |
| 21 | 260 |
"Sarus of Tyros," I said to Ivar, "is a guest in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth". |
10 |
| 22 | 1 |
I Take Ship From the North Slave girls, naked, carrying burdens, loaded the ship of Ivar Forkbeard, the Hilda, moored at the wharf of the Thing-Fields. |
10 |
| 22 | 4 |
"I think," said I, smiling, "I will take ship south with Ivar Forkbeard, for I have yet to learn to break the Jarl's Ax's Gambit". |
10 |
| 22 | 158 |
Ivar Forkbeard, with great strides, climbed the gangplank. |
10 |
| 22 | 241 |
"Ho!" cried Ivar Forkbeard, striking me on the back, clasping me about the shoulders. |
