Smith to the King
The smith looked long at Alf. Then suddenly he bowed low. "I understand at last, sir," he said. "You have done us too much honour."
"I have been repaid," said Alf. "Go home now in peace!"

HI, I've been pondering this quote, but it sounds totally unfamiliar to me, so that I have no idea where to start looking. Clue, please?

Even with that clue, I couldn't find the quote. Since the ten days are up, I humbly admit defeat - please give us a new one, HI! (Oh, and do tell where it was - I am curious!)

Ah, that comes because I was skimming the passages with direct speech = looking only at what was within quotation marks. Well, I'll try to find the new one now.

Wasn't that the (unspoken but "felt") answer of the birch to Smith's question "What can I do to make amends or give thanks?"

Time to answer this one and get the thread moving again! It's Tídwald, speaking to Torhthelm in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son.

Very close, HI, but not quite - that quote is missing the little word "it". Try elsewhere...
