Glam, however, bore down upon him so strongly that Grettir was forced to give way before him.

He then tried to stay himself against the seat-boards, but these gave way with him, and everything that came in their path was broken.
"Glam wanted to get him outside, and although Grettir set his feet against everything that he could, yet Glam succeeded in dragging him out into the porch.

There they had a fierce struggle, for the thrall meant to have him out of doors, while Grettir saw that bad as it was to deal with Glam inside the house it would be worse outside, and therefore strove with all his might against being carried out.

When they came into the porch Glam put forth all his strength, and pulled Grettir close to him.

When Grettir saw that he could not stay himself he suddenly changed his plan, and threw himself as hard as he could against the monster's breast, setting both his feet against an earth- fast stone that lay in the doorway.
