The other was a bishop in mitre and all state robes, wonderfully worked, and with a crosier in his hand.

Not having seen the like before I wondered most at him, but his looks were kind and pleasant.

Phelim told me who and what he was afterward.
Myrkiartan came from his throne to greet us as we passed through a lane of wild courtiers, who had looks which were not all of the most friendly for us.

But we paid no heed to them, though I thought that Hakon was well advised when he sent us instead of coming himself.

That first greeting was for us alone as the comrades of Dalfin, and it was a good welcome.
