"Well, where will you go?" asks Aronsen irritably. "Can't say," answers Andresen. But he's a notion of his own all the same, no doubt; thinking, maybe, of the natives, and coming down into the district three men strong, with glass beads and finger rings. "We'll be getting on," says he to the rest.
Little Andresen is no bad worker on the land in Eleseus' service; true, he has had Sivert from Sellanraa with horses, but he has done a deal of work on his own account, draining bogs, and hiring a man himself to set the ditches with stone. No need of buying fodder at Storborg that year, and next, like as not, Eleseus would be keeping a horse of his own.
Memoire sur les Dunes, Annales des Ponts et Chaussees, t. vii., 1833, 1er semestre, p. 146. In the dunes of Long Island and of Jutland, there are considerable veins composed almost wholly of garnet. For a very full examination of the mechanical and chemical composition of the dune sands of Jutland, see Andresen, Om Klitformationen, p. 110.
"And I remember you well enough," says Andresen. "You've been down twice buying things." "'Tis more than could be thought, you'd remember that," says Leopoldine, and had no more strength after that, but stood holding by a chair. But Andresen had strength enough, he went on, and said: "Remember you? Well, of course I should."
Andresen quotes Bremontier as stating that the movement of the waves sometimes extends to the depth of five hundred feet, and he adds that others think it may reach to six or even seven hundred feet below the surface. Andresen, Om Klitformationen, p. 20. Many physicists now suppose that the undulations of great bodies of water reach even deeper.
"Ho, you mean to say English thread's not prohibited?" said Aronsen, looking wise. "I know it is," answered Andresen. "But I'm not carrying any this way; I can sell that elsewhere. I haven't a reel in my pack; look for yourself, if you like." "That's as it may be," says Aronsen. "Anyway, I know what's forbidden, and I've shown you, so don't try to teach me."
But Isak, he sits there just exactly like a fjeld, and says only: "Ay, it's the big houses he's put up." "Ay," says Andresen again, "'tis just that. 'Tis the fine big houses and all." Just when Andresen is making ready to go, Leopoldine slips out by the door. A strange thing, but somehow she cannot bring herself to think of shaking hands with him.
The construction of a breakwater and a sand dike have already checked the advance of the sea, and a large number of sand-hills has been formed, the rapid growth of which promises complete future security against both wind and wave. Id., Voormaals en Thans, p. 163. Andresen, Om Klitformationen, pp. 280, 295.
Memoirs sur les Dunes, Annales des Ponts et Chaussecs, 1833, ler semestre, p, 148. Andresen says that a wind, having a velocity of forty feet per second, is strong enough to raise particles of sand as high as the face and eyes of a man, but that, in general, it rolls along the ground, and is scarcely ever thrown more than to the height of a couple of yards from the surface.
It was Isak's old idea to drain the bogs at Storborg and till the land there properly; the bit of a store was only to be an extra, a convenience, to save folk going all the way down to the village for a reel of thread. So Sivert and Andresen stood there digging, and talking now and again when they stopped for a rest.
