They heard the smack of the fist's impact and Conroy's faint, angry cry as he failed to guard it; then the mate again, bull- mouthed, lustful for cruelty: "Vat you lift up your arm to me! You dog!"
Grettir looked into the hollow of his hands, and saw that this man must have strength in claws rather than not, and he looked after him, and said, "Whither art thou minded to fare?" Air answered and sang "To the Kettle's side Now will I ride, Where the waters fall From the great ice-wall; If thou hast mind There mayest thou find With little stone Fist's land alone."
