In vain they seek conciliation at any price with the chieftain, who is enraged by the slaying of his friend Thorolf, and infuriated beyond measure by the speeches of his implacable wife. Even Jorun's offering her life for Brand's does not soften his heart; when, finally, the prisoner-bishop's threat of excommunication subdues Kolbein with the fear of the hereafter. Compensation is duly imposed upon the allies, and peace once more rules in the harried land.THE NEW DRAMABeginning of this editionNext chapter →VOLUME XXIV VACATION, 1912 NUMBER IVAll chapters and sections (12)Opening pagesFront matterSections24Volume 24 · Other sectionsDRAMATIS PERSONAEVolume 24 / Act 1 · Scenes12Volume 24 / Act 2 · Acts2Volume 24 / Act 3 · Acts3Volume 24 / Act 4 · Acts4Volume 24 / Act 5 · Acts5Volume 24 / Act 5 · Other sectionsINDRIDI EINARSSON: ICELANDIC DRAMATIST AND HIS SAGA DRAMAVolume 24 / Act 5 · Acts5Volume 24 / Act 5 · Other sectionsTHE NEW DRAMAOnline Distributed Proofreading Team◇Poet Lore◇VOLUME XXIV VACATION, 1912 NUMBER IV →
