The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
271
In
the
morning
they
continued
their
journey,
and
things
went
very
smoothly
with
them;
wherever
this
affair
was
heard
of,
most
people
thought
it
best
to
do
them
all
the
service
that
they
required,
and
of
their
journey
no
more
is
to
be
told.
When
they
came
to
Skalholt,
they
handed
over
the
precious
things
which
Thorgunna
had
sent
thither:
the
ring
and
other
articles,
all
of
which
the
priests
gladly
received.
Thorgunna
was
buried
there,
while
the
funeral
party
returned
home,
which
they
all
reached
in
safety.
At
Froda
there
was
a
large
hall
with
a
fireplace
in
the
midde,
and
a
bed-closet
at
the
inner
end
of
it,
as
was
then
the
custom.
At
the
outer
end
were
two
store-closets,
one
on
each
side;
dried
fish
were
piled
in
one
of
these,
and
there
was
meal
in
the
other.
In
this
hall
fires
were
kindled
every
evening,
as
was
the
custom,
and
folk
sat
round
these
fires
for
a
long
while
before
they
went
to
supper.
On
that
evening
on
which
the
funeral
party
came
home,
while
the
folk
at
Froda
were
sitting
round
the
fires,
they
saw
a
half-moon
appear
on
the
panelling
of
the
hall,
and
it
was
visible
to
all
those
who
were
present.
It
went
round
the
room
backwards
and
against
the
sun's
course,
nor
did
it
disappear
so
long
as
they
sat
by
the
fires.
Thorodd
asked
Thorir
Wooden-leg
what
this
might
portend.
"It
is
the
Moon
of
Fate,"
said
Thorir,
"and
deaths
will
come
after
it."
This
went
on
all
that
week
that
the
Fate-Moon
came
in
every
evening.
