darchildreNjal's Saga, chapters 36 through 43.
This section deals almost entirely with the feud between Hallgerd and Bergthora that began with their quarrel in the last section. They begin by killing each other's slaves, then their freedman servants, and finally their kinsmen. At the same time, Gunnar and Njal try very hard not to be drawn into their wives' quarrel, exchanging compensation for each of the deaths their wives cause. Also, we get to see more of Skarphedin, who is pretty great - he grins all the time.
