But when Thorgils met the king he
gave him greeting from Thorolf,
and said that he was come thither
with the Finns' tribute sent by Thorolf.
The king looked at him,
but answered never a word,
and all saw that he was angry.
Thorgils then went away,
thinking to find a better time to
speak with the king;
he sought Aulvir Hnuf,
and told him what had passed,
and asked him if he knew
what was the matter.
'That do I not,' said he;
'but this I have marked,
that, since we were at Leka,
the king is silent every time
Thorolf is mentioned,
and I suspect he has been slandered.
This I know of Hildirida's sons,
that they were long in conference
with the king, and it is easy to see from
their words that they are Thorolf's enemies.
But I will soon be certain about this from the king himself.'
