We have just turned a little trick in Brazil which I hope will prove satisfactory. I remember, you are interested in business matters. When you come down tomorrow I will take you around and show you how we do it. We will all go you and Aagot and myself we three old friends." "I thought I heard my name?" said Aagot merrily and joined them. "Yes, I did; don't try to fool me, Ole.
By a happy chance Grande had passed by; otherwise he would probably have been there still. And how had he acted? He had stood like a guard, immovable; Irgens had been furious. He had had the greatest difficulty in keeping Aagot from the windows. If she had happened to glance out she must have discovered him. He had made no effort to conceal himself.
And if you ever should find Miss Lynum in need of help, be good to her; I saw her this evening, but she did not see me. I cannot collect my thoughts and write to you as I would like to. One thing only is clear to me, and that thing I will have to do in half an hour." A picture of Aagot was still in his pocketbook; he had probably forgotten to burn it.
He took his time; and when he came up about midnight he retired immediately. Ole did the work for both of them; it was like play to him to direct all these threads which he knew from the days of childhood. Aagot did not disturb him much; it was only down in the little warehouse office that she was apt to delay him at times.
It was necessary to pay a little attention to one's surroundings if one cared to produce good work. Miss Lynum had come to town a week ago and was going to remain awhile; she made him feel like a new man. How the whole town burst into bloom and colour when Aagot returned! It had all been decided: they were going to get married next spring and pin their faith to next year's subsidy.
He was paying his usual call to Henriksen's office during the afternoon and was having his daily chat with the old man. As he left he met Aagot outside: she was ready to go. Tidemand accompanied her and carried her valise; her trunk had been sent ahead. It had rained and the streets were muddy. Aagot said several times: "What a disagreeable, mournful day!" They hardly spoke.
Aagot asked quickly, with big, bewildered eyes: "Thranes Road, did you say? Irgens, he was standing below your windows!" Her heart was fluttering with fear. Coldevin observed her fixedly; he made sure that she should notice he was staring straight at her. Meanwhile Norem continued his impossible tirade.
This was not said in simple courtesy; it was a request. She understood it perfectly. But she said, all the same, that she was not sure she had time; it would be interesting, but Pause. "I wrote many of my poems there," continued Irgens. "I should like to show you the place." Aagot was silent. "Come, please!" he exclaimed suddenly, and wanted to take her hand.
She turned again to Coldevin. "So you have seen Ole since the excursion? I wonder why he hasn't mentioned it to me." "Oh, he cannot remember everything. He has a lot to think of, Miss Aagot; a great deal. He is at the head of a big business; I was really surprised when I saw how big it is. Wonderful! A man like him must be excused if he forgets a little thing like that.
She clung to his neck. The days passed by. Finally a telegram arrived from Ole, and Aagot woke from her trance. The wire had been sent to Torahus. It reached her after much delay. Ole was in London. Well, what was to be done? Ole was in London, but he was not here yet. She did not remember clearly how he looked.
