When the soup arrived, however, the room was silent. We ate mushroom soup, then a great amount of dried fish with rotten butter, then had soured milk and bread. After dinner, the children ran off, and the hostess offered to take off our socks and pants, as was tradition for the hostess to do, but we politely declined.

At five o'clock the next morning, we said goodbye to the Icelandic peasants and continued our journey, after my uncle had insisted to pay the peasant for allowing us to stay in his home.
We went deeper into the wilderness. Sometimes, however, we saw a human running away from us. I was shocked to see them hairless with sores on their bodies. Hans would greet them as they ran away with, "Saellvertu," before turning to my uncle to say, "Spetelsk."
my uncle would then translate for me: "A leper." Leprasy was a terrible disease, which was, unfortunately, common in Iceland. These poor humans were forbidden to marry.
