This befel every evening while the banquet lasted, and there was much talk about it among those who were present.

Some thought that it would stop when the feast was ended.

When the banquet was over the guests went home, leaving the place very dull and dismal.
On the evening after they had gone, the fires were kindled as usual, and after they had burned up, there came in Thorodd with his company, all of them wet.

They sat down by the fire and began to wring their clothes; and after they had sat down there came in Thorir Wooden-leg and his five companions, all covered with earth.

They shook their clothes and scattered the earth on Thorodd and his fellows.
