That spring, Yngvar went to Borg,
his errand being to bid Skallagrim to a feast at his house,
he also named for the party his daughter Bera and Thorolf her son,
and any others that Skallagrim liked to bring.
Skallagrim promised to come. Yngvar then went home, prepared for the banquet,
and had ale brewed.
But when the set time came that Skallagrim and Bera should go to the feast,
Thorolf made him ready to go with them, as also some house-carles,
so that they were fifteen in all. Egil told his father that he wished to go.
'I am,' said he, 'as much akin to Yngvar as is Thorolf.'
'You shall not go,' said Skallagrim,
'for you know not how to behave yourself in company where there is much drinking,
you who are not good to deal with though you be sober.'
