Mord answered, "I have thought over the terms; she shall have sixty
hundreds down, and this sum shall be increased by a third more in thine
house, but if ye two have heirs, ye shall go halves in the goods".

Then said Hrut, "I agree to these terms, and now let us take witness".
After that they stood up and shook hands, and Mord betrothed his
daughter Unna to Hrut, and the bridal feast was to be at Mord's house,
half a month after Midsummer.

Now both sides ride home from the Thing, and Hauskuld and Hrut ride
westward by Hallbjorn's beacon. Then Thiostolf, the son of Biorn
Gullbera of Reykiardale, rode to meet them, and told them how a ship had
come out from Norway to the White River, and how aboard of her was
Auzur, Hrut's father's brother, and he wished Hrut to come to him as
soon as ever he could. When Hrut heard this, he asked Hauskuld to go
with him to the ship, so Hauskuld went with his brother, and when they
reached the ship, Hrut gave his kinsman Auzur a kind and hearty welcome.
Auzur asked them into his booth to drink, so their horses were
unsaddled, and they went in and drank, and while they were drinking,
Hrut said to Auzur, "Now, kinsman, thou must ride west with me, and stay
with me this winter."

"That cannot be, kinsman, for I have to tell thee the death of thy
brother Eyvind, and he has left thee his heir at the Gula Thing, and now
thy foes will seize thy heritage, unless thou comest to claim it."

"What's to be done now, brother?" said Hrut to Hauskuld, "for this seems
a hard matter, coming just as I have fixed my bridal day."
