CHAPTER 10: The Flight From London.
I came back to Olaf while he gathered his ships in the Pool below London Bridge, and I found him ill at ease and angry with Ethelred and Eadmund, and when I told him all, most angry with Streone.

There is no doubt that he works for Cnut.

And this word of his about a bribe for me is not his own invention; he has been told to make it." Then he told me of the vast host that had poured into Kent.

It was the greatest host that had ever landed on English shores--greater even than had been ours when we Angles left our old home a desert, and came over to this new land and took it.

Olaf and the Kentish levies had fought and had been driven back, and now day by day we looked to see Cnut's armies before London, and also for the coming of Eadmund with his men.
