The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

Thorgunna
answered,
"I
am
well
pleased
to
go
to
stay
with
you,
but
you
must
know
that
I
have
little
mind
to
pay
for
myself,
because
I
am
well
able
to
work,
and
have
no
dislike
to
it,
though
I
will
not
do
any
dirty
work.
I
must
be
allowed
to
settle
what
I
shall
pay
for
myself
out
of
such
property
as
I
have."
Although
Thorgunna
spoke
in
this
fashion,
yet
Thurid
would
have
her
to
go
with
her,
and
her
things
were
taken
out
of
the
ship;
these
were
in
a
large
chest
with
a
lock
and
a
small
box,
and
both
were
taken
home
to
Froda.
When
Thorgunna
arrived
there
she
asked
for
her
bed
to
be
shown
her,
and
was
given
one
in
the
inner
part
of
the
hall.
Then
she
opened
up
the
chest,
and
took
bed-clothes
out
of
it:
they
were
all
very
beautiful,
and
over
the
bed
she
spread
English
coverlets
and
a
silken
quilt.
Out
of
the
chest
she
also
brought
a
bed-curtain
and
all
the
hangings
that
belonged
to
it,
and
the
whole
outfit
was
so
fine
that
folk
thought
they
had
never
seen
the
like
of
it.
Then
said
Thurid
the
housewife:
"Name
the
price
of
all
your
bed-
clothes
and
hangings".
Thorgunna
answered,
"I
will
not
lie
among
straw
for
you,
although
you
are
so
stately,
and
bear
yourself
so
proudly".
Thurid
was
ill
pleased
at
this,
and
offered
no
more
to
buy
the
things.
Thorgunna
worked
at
cloth-making
every
day
when
there
was
no
hay-
making,
but
when
the
weather
was
dry
she
worked
among
the
dry
hay
in
the
home
field,
and
had
a
rake
made
for
herself
which
she
alone
was
to
use.
Thorgunna
was
a
big
woman,
both
broad
and
tall,
and
very
stout;
she
had
dark
eyebrows,
and
her
eyes
were
close
set;
her
hair
brown
and
in
great
abundance.
She
was
well-mannered
in
her
daily
life,
and
went
to
church
every
day
before
beginning
her
work,
but
she
was
not
of
a
light
disposition
nor
of
many
words.
Most
people
thought
that
Thorgunna
must
be
in
the
sixties,
yet
she
was
a
very
active
woman.
