But when winter was past and summer came,
then Bard asked leave to go and see to the marriage
promised to him the summer before.
And when the king knew that Bard's errand was urgent,
he allowed him to go home.
Then Bard asked Thorolf to go north with him,
saying (as was true) that he would meet there many of his kin,
men of renown, whom he had not yet seen or known.
Thorolf thought this desirable, so they got leave from the king
for this; then they made them ready, took a good ship and crew,
and went their way.

When they came to Torgar, they sent word to Sigurd that
Bard would now see to that marriage on which they had
agreed the summer before. Sigurd said that he would hold
to all that they had arranged; so they fixed the wedding-day,
and Bard with his party were to come north to Sandness.
At the appointed time Brynjolf and Bard set out,
and with them many great men of their kin and connexions.
And it was as Bard had said, that Thorolf met there many
of his kinsmen that he had not known before.
They journeyed to Sandness, and there was held the most
splendid feast. And when the feast was ended,
Bard went home with his wife, and remained at home through
the summer, and Thorolf with him.
