The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·

"The
weather
was
very
cold,
and
a
heavy
drift
blowing.
Thorgaut
was
in
the
habit
of
coming
home
when
it
was
half-dark,
but
on
this
occasion
he
did
not
return
at
his
usual
time.
People
came
to
church,
and
they
now
began
to
think
that
things
were
not
unlikely
to
fall
out
as
they
had
done
before.
Thorhall
wished
to
make
search
for
the
shepherd,
but
the
church-goers
refused,
saying
that
they
would
not
risk
themselves
in
the
hands
of
evil
demons
by
night,
and
so
no
search
was
made.
"After
their
morning
meal
on
Christmas
day
they
went
out
to
look
for
the
shepherd.
They
first
made
their
way
to
Glam's
cairn,
guessing
that
he
was
the
cause
of
the
man's
disappearance.
On
coming
near
to
this
they
saw
great
tidings,
for
there
they
found
the
shepherd
with
his
neck
broken
and
every
bone
in
his
body
smashed
in
pieces.
They
carried
him
to
the
church,
and
he
did
no
harm
to
any
man
thereafter.
But
Glam
began
to
gather
strength
anew,
and
now
went
so
far
in
his
mischief
that
every
one
fled
from
Thorhall-stead,
except
the
yeoman
and
his
wife.
"The
same
cattleman,
however,
had
been
there
for
a
long
time,
and
Thorhall
would
not
let
him
leave,
because
he
was
so
faithful
and
so
careful.
He
was
very
old,
and
did
not
want
to
go
away
either,
for
he
saw
that
everything
his
master
had
would
go
to
wreck
and
ruin,
if
there
was
no
one
to
look
after
it.
