noon
Grettir fell off , but picked himself up and tried to mount her again . There was a sharp struggle , which ended in his shaving all the skin on her back down to her flank . Then he drove the horses out to the meadow . Keingala would not take a bite except off her back , and soon after noon she bolted off to the stables . Grettir locked the door and went home . Asmund asked him where the horses were ; he said he had looked after them as usual . Asmund said there must be a storm close at hand if the horses would not stay out in such weather as there was then .
