"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.'
"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.
