The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"'It
may
be,'
said
Jokull,
'that
both
of
us
see
some
way
into
the
future,
and
yet
neither
of
us
can
do
anything
to
prevent
it.'
"After
this
they
parted,
and
neither
liked
the
other's
forebodings.
"Grettir
rode
to
Thorhall-stead,
and
the
yeoman
received
him
heartily.
He
asked
Grettir
where
he
was
going,
who
said
that
he
wished
to
stay
there
all
night
if
he
would
allow
him.
Thorhall
said
that
he
would
be
very
glad
if
he
would
stay,
'but
few
men
count
it
a
gain
to
be
guests
here
for
long.
You
must
have
heard
how
matters
stand,
and
I
shall
be
very
unwilling
for
you
to
come
to
any
harm
on
my
account.
And
even
although
you
yourself
escape
safe
and
sound,
I
know
for
certain
that
you
will
lose
your
horse,
for
no
man
that
comes
here
can
keep
that
uninjured.'
"Grettir
answered
that
there
were
horses
enough
to
be
got,
whatever
might
happen
to
this
one.
Thorhall
was
delighted
that
he
was
willing
to
stay,
and
gave
him
the
heartiest
reception.
The
horse
was
strongly
secured
in
an
out-house;
then
they
went
to
sleep,
and
that
night
passed
without
Glam
appearing.
"'Your
coming
here,'
said
Thorhall,
'has
made
a
happy
change,
for
Glam
is
in
the
habit
of
riding
the
house
every
night,
or
breaking
up
the
doors,
as
you
may
see
for
yourself.'
"'Then
one
of
two
things
will
happen,'
said
Grettir;
'either
he
will
not
restrain
himself
for
long,
or
the
hauntings
will
cease
for
more
than
one
night.
I
shall
stay
for
another
night,
and
see
how
things
go.'
