"Glam
wanted
to
get
him
outside,
and
although
Grettir
set
his
feet
against
everything
that
he
could,
yet
Glam
succeeded
in
dragging
him
out
into
the
porch.
There
they
had
a
fierce
struggle,
for
the
thrall
meant
to
have
him
out
of
doors,
while
Grettir
saw
that
bad
as
it
was
to
deal
with
Glam
inside
the
house
it
would
be
worse
outside,
and
therefore
strove
with
all
his
might
against
being
carried
out.
When
they
came
into
the
porch
Glam
put
forth
all
his
strength,
and
pulled
Grettir
close
to
him.
When
Grettir
saw
that
he
could
not
stay
himself
he
suddenly
changed
his
plan,
and
threw
himself
as
hard
as
he
could
against
the
monster's
breast,
setting
both
his
feet
against
an
earth-
fast
stone
that
lay
in
the
doorway.
Glam
was
not
prepared
for
this,
being
then
in
the
act
of
pulling
Grettir
towards
him,
so
he
fell
backwards
and
went
crashing
out
through
the
door,
his
shoulders
catching
the
lintel
as
he
fell.
The
roof
of
the
porch
was
wrenched
in
two,
both
rafters
and
frozen
thatch,
and
backwards
out
of
the
house
went
Glam,
with
Grettir
above
him.
"Outside
there
was
bright
moonshine
and
broken
clouds,
which
sometimes
drifted
over
the
moon
and
sometimes
left
it
clear.
At
the
moment
when
Glam
fell
the
cloud
passed
off
the
moon,
and
he
cast
up
his
eyes
sharply
towards
it;
and
Grettir
himself
said
that
this
was
the
only
sight
he
ever
saw
that
terrified
him.
Then
Grettir
grew
so
helpless,
both
by
reason
of
his
weariness
and
at
seeing
Glam
roll
his
eyes
so
horribly,
that
he
was
unable
to
draw
his
dagger,
and
lay
well-nigh
between
life
and
death.
