"Odin and Frigg sat in Hliðskjálf and looked over all the worlds. Odin said: "You see Agnar, your fosterling, how he begets children with a giantess in the cave? But Geirröth, my fosterling, is a king & now rules over his land." Frigg said: "He's so miserly he tortures his guests if he thinks that too many of them come."
