Of Another Witch, And Two Magic Swords.
There was a woman called Thordis--and a shrew she was--who lived at Spakonufell (Spaequean's-fell), in Skagastrand.

She, having foresight of Cormac's goings, came that very day to Muli, and answered this matter on his behalf, saying, "Never give him yon false woman.

She is a fool, and not fit for any pretty man.

Woe will his mother be at such a fate for her lad!" "Aroint thee, foul witch!" cried Thord.
