It happened one day that Mord came to Bergthorsknoll. He and
Kari and Njal's sons fell a-talking at once, and Mord slanders
Hauskuld after his wont, and has now many new tales to tell, and
does naught but egg Skarphedinn and them on to slay Hauskuld, and
said he would be beforehand with them if they did not fall on him
at once.
"I will let thee have thy way in this," says Skarphedinn, "if
thou wilt fare with us, and have some hand in it."
"That I am ready to do," says Mord, and so they bound that fast
with promises, and he was to come there that evening.
