The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
263
"There
still
lives
at
Longformacus
his
remaining
son
Robert;
he
has
the
same
horror
of
the
Foul
Fords
that
his
brother
had,
and
will
not
speak,
nor
allow
any
one
to
speak
to
him
on
the
subject.
"Three
or
four
years
ago
a
herd
of
the
name
of
Burton
was
found
dead
within
a
short
distance
of
the
spot,
without
any
apparent
cause
for
his
death."
{272}
CHAPTER
XIII
The
Marvels
at
Froda
The
following
tale
has
all
the
direct
simplicity
and
truth
to
human
nature
which
mark
the
ancient
literature
of
Iceland.
Defoe
might
have
envied
the
profusion
of
detail;
"The
large
chest
with
a
lock,
and
the
small
box,"
and
so
on.
Some
of
the
minor
portents,
such
as
the
disturbances
among
inanimate
objects,
and
the
appearance
of
a
glow
of
mysterious
light,
"the
Fate
Moon,"
recur
in
modern
tales
of
haunted
houses.
The
combination
of
Christian
exorcism,
then
a
novelty
in
Iceland,
with
legal
proceedings
against
the
ghosts,
is
especially
characteristic.
