The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·

"These
are
my
arrangements,"
said
Thorgunna,
"that
I
will
have
myself
taken
to
Skalholt
if
I
die
of
this
sickness,
for
my
mind
forbodes
me
that
that
place
will
some
time
or
other
be
the
most
glorious
spot
in
this
land.
I
know
also
that
by
now
there
are
priests
there
to
sing
the
funeral
service
over
me.
So
I
ask
you
to
have
me
carried
thither,
and
for
that
you
shall
take
so
much
of
my
property
that
you
suffer
no
loss
in
the
matter.
Of
my
other
effects,
Thurid
shall
have
the
scarlet
cloak
that
I
own,
and
I
give
it
her
so
that
she
may
readily
consent
to
my
disposing
of
all
the
rest
as
I
please.
I
have
a
gold
ring,
and
it
shall
go
to
the
church
with
me;
but
as
for
my
bed
and
bed-hangings,
I
will
have
them
burned
with
fire,
because
they
will
be
of
service
to
no
one.
I
do
not
say
this
because
I
grudge
that
any
one
should
possess
these
treasures,
if
I
knew
that
they
would
be
of
use
to
them;
rather
am
I
so
earnest
in
the
matter,
because
I
should
be
sorry
for
folk
to
fall
into
such
trouble
for
me,
as
I
know
will
be
the
case
if
my
words
are
not
heeded."
Thorodd
promised
to
do
as
she
asked
him,
and
after
this
Thorgunna's
sickness
increased,
so
that
she
lay
but
few
days
before
she
died.
The
body
was
first
taken
to
the
church,
and
Thorodd
had
a
coffin
made
for
it.
On
the
following
day
Thorodd
had
all
the
bed-clothes
carried
out
into
the
open
air,
and
made
a
pile
of
wood
beside
them.
Then
Thurid
the
housewife
came
up,
and
asked
what
he
was
going
to
do
with
the
bed-
clothes.
He
answered
that
he
was
to
burn
them
with
fire,
as
Thorgunna
had
directed
him.
"I
will
not
have
such
treasures
burned,"
said
Thurid.
Thorodd
answered:
"She
declared
strongly
that
it
would
not
do
to
depart
from
what
she
said".
"That
was
mere
jealousy,"
said
Thurid;
"she
grudged
any
other
person
the
use
of
them,
and
that
was
why
she
gave
these
orders;
but
nothing
terrible
will
happen
though
her
words
are
set
aside."
"I
doubt,"
said
he,
"whether
it
will
be
well
to
do
otherwise
than
as
she
charged
me."
