It certainly could not have been for pleasure that he left Drammen, so he must have come on business, and the sole object of his visit seemed to have been a careful examination of Dame Hansen's establishment. It was plain to Hulda that her mother was deeply troubled, for she seated herself in her big arm-chair, and pushing aside her spinning-wheel, remained there silent and motionless.
He put on der gloves vit der boys at Hansen's loft, he put on der gloves vit de boys at der varehouse. He go before der club; he knock out der Spider, k-vick, one punch, just like dat, der first time. Der purse iss five dollar vat he do? He bring it home to der mudder. "He go many times before der clubs; he get many purses ten dollar, fifty dollar, one hundred dollar. Vat he do? Tell me dat!
Farnshaw shared the public contempt for his nationality and had failed to get her daughter's confidence in that quarter. "Here, set this table for me; I'm clear done out. Did you ever hear of such a crazy thing as all them hoppers comin' down like bees? Your pa's gone over to Hansen's t' see what he thinks.
"Oh, go to the devil with your highest market price!" Lars Peter began mounting the cart again. The old man looked at him in surprise through his spectacles: "Then you won't sell?" "No, that I won't. I'd rather take it home again and get double the price." "Well, if you say so of course Lars Peter Hansen's no cheat. But what are we to do, my man?
It was disturbed in 1854 by Hansen's announcement that the observed motions of the moon could be drawn into accord with theory only on the terms of bringing the sun considerably nearer to us than he was supposed to be. Dr.
Ambrose, much perplexed and grieved at thus vexing his brother, declared that he would have done so with all his heart, but that this very Easter Sunday there was coming a friend of Master Hansen's from Holland; who was to tell them much of the teaching in Germany, which was so enlightening men's eyes. "Yea, truly, making heretics of them, Mistress Headley saith," returned Stephen.
The places of Uranus and Neptune are derived from new tables which will probably be sufficiently accurate for some time to come. For the moon, Pierce's tables have been employed up to the year 1882 inclusive. Commencing with the ephemeris for the year 1883, Hansen's tables are introduced with corrections to the mean longitude founded on two centuries of observation.
"Fortunately you are at Dame Hansen's inn, where you will have the best of food and care." "Could one imagine a more comfortable place?" "Most assuredly not." "Or better people?"

His own knowledge extended only as far as Christian Hansen's Part I.; but there were two peasant boys who had worked on by themselves into Part III., and they helped the others.
The next, called Part II., related to the circumstances of the transit, and was therefore entirely technical. Part III. related to the corrections of Hansen's table of the moon, and was published as a paper relating to the transit of Venus, because these corrections were essential in determining the longitudes of the stations by observations of the moon.
