yes, halvor was so strong he swept everything away, and made it all clean and tidy in no time. so they had a good and happy time of it, and next morning he set off at peep of grey dawn; he could take no rest by the way, but ran and walked the whole day. when he first saw the castle he got a little afraid; it was far grander than the first, but here too there wasn't a living soul to be seen. so halvor went into the kitchen, and didn't stop there either, but went straight further on into the house.
