² That morning Kol Thorsteinsson went in to the town to buy some silver; he had always been the most loud-mouthed of all the Burners. Kol had been keeping close company with a rich lady, and it was all but arranged that he should marry her and settle in Wales.

³ Kari went to the town that same morning. He arrived at the place where Kol was counting out the silver and recognized him at once. Kari rushed at him with his sword drawn and slashed at Kol‘s neck. Kol kept on counting, and his head said Ten as it flew from his shoulders. (Njals Saga, Penguin Classics, 1960. Translation by Magnus Magnusson and Hermann Palsson.)
