CHAPTER XXVI.

OF ASGRIM AND HIS CHILDREN.

There was a man named Asgrim. He was Ellidagrim's son. The brother of

Asgrim Ellidagrim's son was Sigfus.

Asgrim had two sons, and both of them were named Thorhall. They were

both hopeful men. Grim was the name of another of Asgrim's sons, and

Thorhalla was his daughter's name. She was the fairest of women, and

well behaved.

Njal came to talk with his son Helgi, and said, "I have thought of a

match for thee, if thou wilt follow my advice".

"That I will surely," says he, "for I know that thou both meanest me

well, and canst do well for me; but whither hast thou turned thine

eyes?"

"We will go and woo Asgrim Ellidagrim's son's daughter, for that is the

best choice we can make."
