She came thus in sightof all the crew; and Halfred, recognising his Fylgia, told her pointblank that their connection was at an end for ever. The forsakenFylgia had a high spirit of her own, and she then asked Thorold "if hewould take her. " Thorold ungallantly refused; but Halfred the youngersaid, "Maiden, I will take thee. " [284] In the various Norse Saga there are many anecdotes of these spirits, who are always charming, because, with their less earthly attributes, they always blend somethi...ng of the woman.
