midday
I can bear this doubt no longer . '' `` Then I shall come with thee , '' said Skallagrim . `` As thou wilt , '' answered Eric . So at midday Eric and Skallagrim rode away from Mosfell in a storm of rain . The rain was so heavy that those of Gizur 's spies who watched the mountain did not see them . All that day they rode and all the night , till by morning they came to Middalhof . Eric told Skallagrim to stay with the horses and let them feed , while he went on foot to see if by chance he might get speech with Gudruda .
