There was on board a Hebridean woman named Thorgunna, of whom her shipmates said that she owned some costly things, the like of which would be difficult to find in Iceland.

When Thurid, the housewife at Froda, heard of this she was very curious to see the articles, for she was a woman that was fond of show and finery.

She went to the ship and asked Thorgunna whether she had any woman's apparel that was finer than the common.
Thorgunna said that she had nothing of the kind to sell, but had some good things of her own, that she might not be affronted at feasts or other gatherings.

Thurid begged a sight of these, and Thorgunna showed her treasures.

Thurid was much pleased with them, and thought them very becoming, though not of high value.
