Re: Njal chapter 39 Patricia's translation

The question of "Old Norse Murder Mysteries" I find rather droll - written no doubt by Agata Christensdottir Ten Little Indians would come out as Ten Little Thralls and "Murder she Said!" might be "Morðvig Sagði Hon" yes I think I like the idea

It is said to me that he had done (this ) badly

I see him as a "Man on a Mission" - (play "Godfather" theme here,) and I assumed that since Bergthora had given him a 'contract' on Brynjolf then the question of the disposal of Atli's corpse was merely an excuse. He had been given this job by the Godmother and it was an offer he could not refuse.

hversu mér bregður við"

> how it will move (affect?) me"

"how I'll react."
