But when the goodwife came from church, she thought her house hadbeen somewhat roughly handled: so she went to Guest and asked what hadhapped that all was broken and down-trodden. He told her all as it hadbefallen: she deemed these things imported much, and asked him whatman he was in good sooth. So he told her the truth, and prayed thatthe priest might be fetched, for that he would fain see him: and so itwas done.
But when Stein the priest came to Sand-heaps, he knew forthwith, thatthither was... come Grettir Asmundson, under the name of Guest.
So the priest asked what he deemed had become of those men who hadvanished; and Grettir said that he thought they would have gone intothe gulf: the priest said that he might not trow that, if no signscould be seen thereof: then said Grettir that later on that should beknown more thoroughly. So the priest went home.
Grettir lay many nights a-bed, and the mistress did well to him, andso Yule-tide wore.
Now Grettir's story is that the troll-wife cast herself into the gulfwhen she got her wound; but the men of Bard-dale say that day dawnedon her, while they wrestled, and that she burst, when he cut the armfrom her; and that there she stands yet on the cliff, a rock in thelikeness of a woman.
