Excerpt: ..."It shines so white in the moonlight." At that moment they were passing one of the great storehouses, where foreign fisher-folk lodged while they lay at Marstrand. Before the entrance hung a lantern, which threw a feeble light upon the street. "Let us see what you have found, mistress," said Sir Philip, standing under the light.

All the men turned toward her. She saw that Torarin the fish hawker sat among them. "What is that you tell us so noisily, my girl?" Torarin asked. "How can you know Herr Arne's moneys from any other?" "Well may I know this very piece of silver from any other," said Elsalill. "It is old and heavy, and it is chipped at the edge. Herr Arne told us that it came from the time of the old kings of Norway, and never would he part with it when he counted out money to pay for his goods." "Now you must tell us where you have found it, mistress," said another of the fishermen. "I found it rolling before me in the street," said Elsalill. "One of the murderers has surely dropped it there." "It may be as you say," said Torarin, "but what can we do in this matter?...
