The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

Thorodd
and
his
fellows
went
right
along
the
hall
where
the
folk
sat,
and
passed
into
the
one
where
the
fires
were,
answering
no
man's
greeting.
Those
of
the
household
who
were
in
the
hall
ran
out,
and
Thorodd
and
his
men
sat
down
beside
the
fires,
where
they
remained
till
they
had
fallen
into
ashes;
then
they
went
away
again.
This
befel
every
evening
while
the
banquet
lasted,
and
there
was
much
talk
about
it
among
those
who
were
present.
Some
thought
that
it
would
stop
when
the
feast
was
ended.
When
the
banquet
was
over
the
guests
went
home,
leaving
the
place
very
dull
and
dismal.
On
the
evening
after
they
had
gone,
the
fires
were
kindled
as
usual,
and
after
they
had
burned
up,
there
came
in
Thorodd
with
his
company,
all
of
them
wet.
They
sat
down
by
the
fire
and
began
to
wring
their
clothes;
and
after
they
had
sat
down
there
came
in
Thorir
Wooden-leg
and
his
five
companions,
all
covered
with
earth.
They
shook
their
clothes
and
scattered
the
earth
on
Thorodd
and
his
fellows.
The
folk
of
the
household
rushed
out
of
the
hall,
as
might
be
expected,
and
all
that
evening
they
had
no
light
nor
any
warmth
from
the
fire.
Next
evening
the
fires
were
made
in
the
other
hall,
as
the
dead
men
would
be
less
likely
to
come
there;
but
this
was
not
so,
for
everything
happened
just
as
it
had
done
on
the
previous
evening,
and
both
parties
came
to
sit
by
the
fires.
