Chapter 29
There was much noise in Brattahlid upon the arrival of the ships from Vinland. Thjodhild hurried down to the harbor, laughing and crying alternately with happy relief, when she saw her dear ones descending upon safe land - Freydis, Thorvard, Gudrid, all alive and well, thank God! And Gudrid and Freydis with babes in their arms, what a joy! She led little Sygni towards the parents who have almost become a dim and distant memory to the girl, and looked how her granddaughter averted her face shyly when her father bent over her, attempted to gather her in his arms, spoke to her and showed her the little brother that was born in a distant land.
