"Thou must ride south," said Hauskuld, "and see Mord, and ask him to
change the bargain which ye two have made, and to let his daughter sit
for thee three winters as thy betrothed, but I will ride home and bring
down thy wares to the ship."

Then said Hrut, "My wish is that thou shouldest take meal and timber,
and whatever else thou needest out of the lading". So Hrut had his
horses brought out, and he rode south, while Hauskuld rode home west.
Hrut came east to the Rangrivervales to Mord, and had a good welcome,
and he told Mord all his business, and asked his advice what he should
do.

"How much money is this heritage?" asked Mord, and Hrut said it would
come to a hundred marks, if he got it all.

"Well," said Mord, "that is much when set against what I shall leave
behind me, and thou shalt go for it, if thou wilt."

After that they broke their bargain, and Unna was to sit waiting for
Hrut three years as his betrothed. Now Hrut rides back to the ship, and
stays by her during the summer, till she was ready to sail, and Hauskuld
brought down all Hrut's wares and money to the ship, and Hrut placed all
his other property in Hauskuld's hands to keep for him while he was
away. Then Hauskuld rode home to his house, and a little while after
they got a fair wind and sail away to sea. They were out three weeks,
and the first land they made was Hern, near Bergen, and so sail eastward
to the Bay.
