The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"After
this
they
went
to
look
at
Grettir's
horse,
and
found
that
he
had
not
been
meddled
with,
so
the
yeoman
thought
that
everything
was
going
on
well,
Grettir
stayed
another
night,
and
still
the
thrall
did
not
come
about
them.
Thorhall
thought
that
things
were
looking
brighter,
but
when
he
went
to
look
to
Grettir's
horse
he
found
the
out-house
broken
up,
the
horse
dragged
outside,
and
every
bone
in
it
broken.
He
told
Grettir
what
had
happened,
and
advised
him
to
secure
his
own
safety,
'for
your
death
is
certain
if
you
wait
for
Glam'.
"Grettir
answered:
'The
least
I
can
get
for
my
horse
is
to
see
the
thrall'.
Thorhall
replied
that
it
would
do
him
no
good
to
see
him,
'for
he
is
unlike
anything
in
human
shape;
but
I
am
fain
of
every
hour
that
you
are
willing
to
stay
here'.
"The
day
wore
on,
and
when
it
was
bed-time
Grettir
would
not
take
off
his
clothes,
but
lay
down
on
the
floor
over
against
Thorhall's
bed-
closet.
He
put
a
thick
cloak
above
himself,
buttoning
one
end
beneath
his
feet,
and
doubling
the
other
under
his
head,
while
he
looked
out
at
the
hole
for
the
neck.
There
was
a
strong
plank
in
front
of
the
floored
space,
and
against
this
he
pressed
his
feet.
The
door-
fittings
were
all
broken
off
from
the
outer
door,
but
there
was
a
hurdle
set
up
instead,
and
roughly
secured.
The
wainscot
that
had
once
stretched
across
the
hall
was
all
broken
down,
both
above
and
below
the
cross-beam.
The
beds
were
all
pulled
out
of
their
places,
and
everything
was
in
confusion.
