[King Olaf’s Kinsman by Charles Whistler]@TWC D-Link bookKing Olaf’s Kinsman CHAPTER 12: Among Friends 8/27
I have no love for any maiden, nor could Sexberga think twice of me." "If you had bided a little longer.
Well, then, no hearts are broken, or so much as awry, and that is well.
So, as I was saying, Penhurst will be lonely directly, and already I love this maiden with the outland name for saving you.
How would she take it if we gave her shelter with us? I am going back home in a day or two, and you must come with me." The good thane spoke fast, being easier in his mind, as it seemed, on one point, and not willing to make any show of generosity on the other. "That is a kind thought of yours," I said, being very glad, and not less so that I could not help rejoicing that I should see more of Uldra. "I wonder what my wife would say ?" he said thoughtfully. "If I know aught of her kindness, and I think that I have proved it well," answered I, "she will be glad to help this orphan maiden." "Let us go and see her, and ask her to come, therefore," said Relf, rising up.
"I want to thank her, moreover, for saving you." I was nowise loath, and so we went along under the trees towards the nunnery.
