  3. said Grim, 'three arrows called Gusir's Gifts,' and he gave him the
  4. arrows. Odd looked at them. 'Precious gifts, these,' he said. They
  5. were feathered with gold and flew of their own accord from the
  6. bowstring and back again, so there was never any need to search for
  7. them.

  10. Grim. 'Because dwarfs made them, they bite anything they're told
  11. to.'

  14. Odd. He thanked his father for them and they parted the best of
  15. friends. Odd stepped aboard and said they should start their travels

  17. then on the other.
