Mary had never been a gambling woman. Later on the woodcutter would say she had just lost the worst game of her life.
Outside, Njord began to howl. Even the family wolf knew something tragic had just transpired.

Njord had to be locked in the hut until Norde closed his business. The wolf-dog had grown extremely protective of the old man and his ward. Even though Njord had not grown aggressive, there was no need to risk having that reputation.
Upon his release, Njord joyfully bounced around his master. Maybe this was the type of relationship Norde preferred, dogs didn't know how to do small talk.

Idonea Nyberg also enjoyed the companionship of Njord. It's hard to say if Njord enjoyed the toddler just as much.

It was no shock to Norde that a stray would be attracted to the fisherman's hut. Originally the dog had been frightfully skinny on his first visits, so Norde had left scraps out for him. The old man had grown fond of the wolf-dog, and the two began a quaint friendship.
Soon, Njord the dog was allowed to stay in the Nyberg House.
