The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"'This
is
the
way
of
it,'
said
Thorhall,
'I
have
had
very
bad
luck
with
my
shepherds
of
late.
Some
of
them
get
injured,
and
others
will
not
serve
out
their
time;
and
now
no
one
that
knows
how
the
case
stands
will
take
the
place
at
all.'
"'Then
there
must
be
some
evil
spirit
there,'
said
Skafti,
'when
men
are
less
willing
to
herd
your
sheep,
than
those
of
others.
Now
since
you
have
asked
my
advice,
I
will
get
a
shepherd
for
you.
Glam
is
his
name,
he
belongs
to
Sweden,
and
came
out
here
last
summer.
He
is
big
and
strong,
but
not
very
well
liked
by
most
people.'
"Thorhall
said
that
he
did
not
mind
that,
if
he
looked
well
after
the
sheep.
Skafti
answered
that
there
was
no
hope
of
other
men
doing
it,
if
Glam
could
not,
seeing
he
was
so
strong
and
stout-hearted.
Their
talk
ended
there,
and
Thorhall
left
the
booth.
"This
took
place
just
at
the
breaking
up
of
the
assembly.
Thorhall
missed
two
of
his
horses,
and
went
to
look
for
them
in
person,
from
which
it
may
be
seen
that
he
was
no
proud
man.
He
went
up
to
the
mountain
ridge,
and
south
along
the
fell
that
is
called
Armann's
fell.
There
he
saw
a
man
coming
down
from
the
wood,
leading
a
horse
laden
with
bundles
of
brushwood.
They
soon
met
each
other
and
Thorhall
asked
his
name.
He
said
he
was
called
Glam.
He
was
tall
of
body,
and
of
strange
appearance;
his
eyes
were
blue
and
staring,
and
his
hair
wolf-grey
in
colour.
Thorhall
was
a
little
startled
when
he
saw
him,
and
was
certain
that
this
was
the
man
he
had
been
told
about.
