|
Black Duncan recovered himself for a moment |
|
Then he took his Lochaber-axe |
|
He swayed his arm in the air |
|
Dashed forward, and with a last fierce blow |
|
He split in two the thick skull of Rannoch. |
|
The fight had ended |
|
The storm took full possession of the inn again |
|
The slain Rannoch was dragged away |
|
The Duncan taken care of |
|
And the game continued. |
|
Few days later Black Duncan rode forth again |
|
The fierce gale had passed over |
|
As always, there was still a fresh Nordic wind |
|
But the skies were clear and blue |
|
With only a few white clouds |
|
There was still a long way to go. |
