Epigraph

Do another Man a Favour He came down from the highlands, heading home, and asked a man to row him out from Osa out to Øydvinstò. He was a decent fellow, and asked to pay his way. But no: the Osa man was not for sale. I want to pay: We’ll never meet again, I can’t return your favour. Then do another man a favour, said the Osa oarsman and pushed off. Olav H.
