Read the excerpt from Grendel. It wasn’t because he threw that battle-ax that I turned on Hrothgar. That was mere midnight fooli

shness. I dismissed it, thought of it afterward only as you remember a tree that fell on you or an adder you stepped on by accident, except of course that Hrothgar was more to be feared than a tree or snake.
