The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"So
time
went
on
till
it
came
to
Christmas
eve.
On
that
morning
Glam
rose
early
and
called
for
his
food.
The
good-wife
answered:
'It
is
not
the
custom
of
Christian
people
to
eat
on
this
day,
for
to-morrow
is
the
first
day
of
Christmas,
and
we
ought
to
fast
to-day'.
Glam
replied:
'You
have
many
foolish
fashions
that
I
see
no
good
in.
I
cannot
see
that
men
are
any
better
off
now
than
they
were
when
they
never
troubled
themselves
about
such
things.
I
think
it
was
a
far
better
life
when
men
were
heathens;
and
now
I
want
my
food,
and
no
nonsense.'
The
good-wife
answered:
'I
am
sure
you
will
come
to
sorrow
to-day
if
you
act
thus
perversely'.
"Glam
bade
her
bring
his
food
at
once,
or
it
would
be
the
worse
for
her.
She
was
afraid
to
refuse,
and
after
he
had
eaten
he
went
out
in
a
great
rage.
"The
weather
was
very
bad.
It
was
dark
and
gloomy
all
round;
snowflakes
fluttered
about;
loud
noises
were
heard
in
the
air,
and
it
grew
worse
and
worse
as
the
day
wore
on.
They
heard
the
shepherd's
voice
during
the
forenoon,
but
less
of
him
as
the
day
passed.
Then
the
snow
began
to
drift,
and
by
evening
there
was
a
violent
storm.
People
came
to
the
service
in
church,
and
the
day
wore
on
to
evening,
but
still
Glam
did
not
come
home.
There
was
some
talk
among
them
of
going
to
look
for
him,
but
no
search
was
made
on
account
of
the
storm
and
the
darkness.
