15. KALF ARNASON FLIES THE COUNTRY

Soon after this the king was at a feast at the farm of Haug in Veradel,

and at the dinner-table Kalf Arnason sat upon one side of him, and Einar

Tambaskelfer on the other. It was already come so far that the king took

little notice of Kalf, but paid most attention to Einar. The king said

to Einar, "Let us ride to-day to Stiklestad. I should like to see the

memorials of the things which took place there." Einar replies, "I can

tell thee nothing about it; but take thy foster-father Kalf with thee;

he can give thee information about all that took place." When the tables

were removed, the king made himself ready, and said to Kalf, "Thou must

go with me to Stiklestad."
