He found by experiment that a heap of drift-sand was not moistened to a greater height than eight and a half inches, after standing with its base a whole night in water.
No, Andresen admitted that was so; but Aronsen had sent him, and after all, two pair of eyes could see better than one. But here Inger seemingly could contain herself no longer; she asked: "Is it true what they're saying, Aronsen is going to sell his place again?" Andresen answers: "He's thinking of it. And a man like him can surely do as he likes, seeing all the means and riches he's got."
"You can stay, yes," he said. "I shall be wanting an assistant to look after the place when I'm away on business opening up connections in Bergen and Trondhjem," said he. And Andresen was no bad man to have, as it soon proved; he was a good worker, and looked after things well when Eleseus was away.
