Guttorm was very mad at the carle for going up before him, but the carle was light and the old man was heavy, so he could not help it.
Then Grettir drave that same axe into his head so that it stood in the brain, and the house-carle fell dead to earth. Then Grettir seized the meal-bag and threw it across his saddle, and thereon rode after his fellows.
The toast was drunk with right good will by all from Ulf down to the youngest house-carle at the lowest end of the great hall. "And now, Guttorm," continued Ulf, turning to the bluff old warrior, "since thou hast shown thy readiness to rebuke, let us see thy willingness to entertain.
