The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·

Then
Thurid
laid
her
arms
round
his
neck,
and
besought
him
not
to
burn
the
furnishings
of
the
bed,
and
so
much
did
she
press
him
in
this
that
his
heart
gave
way
to
her,
and
she
managed
it
so
that
Thorodd
burned
the
mattresses
and
pillows,
while
she
took
for
herself
the
quilt
and
coverlets
and
all
the
hangings.
Yet
neither
of
them
was
well
pleased.
After
this
the
funeral
was
made
ready;
trustworthy
men
were
sent
with
the
body,
and
good
horses
which
Thorodd
owned.
The
body
was
wrapped
in
linen,
but
not
sewed
up
in
it,
and
then
laid
in
the
coffin.
After
this
they
held
south
over
the
heath
as
the
paths
go,
and
went
on
until
they
came
to
a
farm
called
Lower
Ness,
which
lies
in
the
Tongues
of
Staf-holt.
There
they
asked
leave
to
stay
over
night,
but
the
farmer
would
give
them
no
hospitality.
However,
as
it
was
close
on
nightfall,
they
did
not
see
how
they
could
go
on,
for
they
thought
it
would
be
dangerous
to
deal
with
the
White
River
by
night.
They
therefore
unloaded
their
horses,
and
carried
the
body
into
an
out-
house,
after
which
they
went
into
the
sitting-room
and
took
off
their
outer
clothes,
intending
to
stay
there
over
night
without
food.
