every Geat down in Geatville would sing sing sing SING.
I love this sentence.
I also quite liked the Wealthow/Ursula relationship, and was annoyed at the not-pulling-up. Now, she might not have been strong enough to lift a person larger than herself, but if that's the case then the dangling is just gratuitous peril and has no story-telling point at all. Had the queen fallen and died there could have been a statement about realism (er, after the dragon attack...), and if Ursula had pulled her up or she'd managed to catch hold of the edge and pull herself up there could have been a different sort of narrative purpose, but Wiglaf swooping in at the last minute just didn't fit with any of the rest of the story.
I was intrigued by Wealthow's perspective on events in general -- there wasn't enough of her shown to make her an interesting character, but there was just enough to make her a character I'm interested in, if that makes sense. I don't know what her story is, but I'd like to.
