Thorolf Skallagrim's son now sounded Thorir as to how he would take the matter should Thorolf ask in marriage Asgerdr his kinswoman. Thorir welcomed this readily, saying that he would be his pleader in this suit. Soon after Thorolf went north to Sogn with a goodly company. He came to Bjorn's house, and was well received there. Bjorn bade him be with him as long as he would. Thorolf speedily opened to Bjorn his errand, and made his offer, asking Bjorn's daughter Asgerdr to wife. This proposal Bjorn took well, his consent was easily won; and it was settled that the betrothal should be there, and a day was fixed for the wedding. The feast was to be at Bjorn's in the autumn.

Then Thorolf went back to Thorir, and told him what had been done in his journey. Thorir was glad that the match was to be made. But when the time came that Thorolf should go to the feast, he bade men to go with him. First bade he Thorir and Arinbjorn and their house-carles, and some rich yeoman; and for the journey there was a large and goodly company.

But when the appointed day was near at hand that Thorolf should leave home, and the bridesmen were now come, then Egil fell sick, so that he could not go. Thorolf and his company had a large long-ship well equipt, and went on their way as had been agreed.

Þórólfr Skalla-Grímsson hóf ræðu þá við Þóri, hvernig hann myndi taka því máli, ef Þórólfr bæði Ásgerðar, frændkonu hans. Þórir tók því léttliga, sagði, at hann myndi flytjandi þess máls. Síðan fór Þórólfr norðr í Sogn ok hafði með sér gott föruneyti. Þórólfr kom til bús Bjarnar ok fekk þar góðar viðtökur. Bauð Björn honum at vera með sér, svá lengi sem hann vildi. Þórólfr bar brátt upp erendi sitt við Björn, hóf þá bónorð sitt ok bað Ásgerðar, dóttur Bjarnar. Hann tók því máli vel, ok var þat auðsótt við hann, ok réðst þat af, at þar fóru festar fram ok kveðit á brullupsstefnu. Skyldi veizla sú vera at Bjarnar þá um haustit. Síðan fór Þórólfr aftr til Þóris ok sagði honum þat, sem til tíðenda hafði gerzt í för hans. Þórir lét vel yfir, er þau ráð skyldu takast.

En er at þeiri stefnu kom, er Þórólfr skyldi sækja til veizlunnar, þá bauð hann mönnum til farar með sér, bauð fyrst Þóri ok Arinbirni ok húskörlum þeira ok ríkum búöndum, ok var til þeirar ferðar fjölmennt ok góðmennt. En þá er mjök var komit at stefnudegi þeim, er Þórólfr skyldi heiman fara, ok brúðmenn váru komnir, þá tók Egill sótt, svá at hann var eigi færr. Þeir Þórólfr höfðu langskip eitt mikit, alskipat, ok fóru ferðar sinnar, svá sem á kveðit var.
