And Relf rejoiced with me to see this, for he deemed that he owed me the more care because my hurt had been gained in fighting for him and his home.

Honest and rough, with a warm heart was this forest thane, and we grew to be fast friends.
Now when I was helpless, Wulfnoth the earl and Godwine would often ride from Pevensea to learn how I fared.

For Wulfnoth and Godwine alike loved Olaf the king, and Godwine thought of me as his own friend among the vikings of our fleet.

But presently Godwine went away to Bosham, where the earl's ships were mostly laid up, to see to the housing of his vessels for the winter, and when I grew strong it was rather my place to go to Pevensea and wait on Wulfnoth, if I would see him.

I think the earl came to Penhurst more often also, because he would dig for more treasure in all the old ruins in the town.
