Songs and questions

"You can always count on my thirst to have me stay for another round!" replied Valdavar.
But both Beregond and Calamir could well see that it was not just ale the Beorning was interested in. As if he had read their thoughts, he asked:

"Say, if I can ask, you seem to be a knowledgeable Lady, and you an experienced traveler, Sir. Can you tell me if there is something behind this song?
For one thing I have learned soon in my life is that even the silliest song contains truth, and legend is just another hide for things past. What's more, when I looked at the young fellow's face" - Valdavar made clear with a notion of his head that he meant Ferny - "as he heard of the treasures sung of, I saw the eyes of a hunter. And I doubt that this time it is the white stockings he is after!

"And where are those barrows? I have never heard of such a region, so they must lie to the west, I assume?"
