  13. But Thialfi could not forget what Loki had said to him, and when Thor left the table for a call of nature, Thialfi took his knife split one of the goat's leg bones and ate some of the marrow from it.

And then it staggered and limped awkwardly over to Snarler, and it let out a high-pitched bleat as if it were in pain.
  18. "Grinder's hind leg is broken," said Thor.
