“Is Earl Tostig there?”

“I don’t deny being here,” said the Earl.

“If you really are Tostig,” said the horseman, “I’ve come to tell you that your brother offers you his pardon and a third part of the kingdom.”

“If I accept,” said Tostig, “what will the King give Harald Sigurdarson?”

“He has not forgotten him,” answered the horseman. “He’ll give him six feet of English earth and, since he is so tall, an extra foot besides.”

“In that case,” said Tostig, “tell your king that we will fight to the death.”

The horsemen rode away. Pensively Harald Sigurdarson asked:

“Who was that gentleman who spoke so well?”

“Harold Son of Godwin.”
