'Twas but for to drop in at Aronsen's like, and hear what he'd got to say." And the two jesters laughed together at that. On the way home, father and son talk little, as was their way; but Isak must have been thinking out something for himself; he says: "Sivert?" "Ay?" says Sivert again. "Nay, 'twas nothing."
It was not the least remarkable thing, that folk took notice of the children. The miners came down from their work in the hills, and had not seen a child's face for many days; when they caught sight of Aronsen's little ones playing in the yard, they would talk kindly to them at once, as if they had met three puppies at play.
But as true as I'm here, no sooner the post comes up from that same boat Geissler had come by, than there's letter and telegram both to the engineer that the work wasn't paying, and he's to shut down at once." The members of the expedition look at one another, but the leader, Andresen himself, has not lost courage yet. "You may just as well turn back and go home again," is Aronsen's advice.
Andresen drank and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at the time. "Is it far up to the mines?" he asked. "No, 'tis an hour's walk, or hardly that." "I'm going up to look over them, d'you see, for him, Aronsen I'm his chief clerk." "Ho!" "You'll know me yourself, no doubt; I'm Aronsen's chief clerk. You've been down buying things at our place before." "Ay."
These are the things he has started out with now, going to sell them to the miners on the other side of the hills. He knows from Aronsen's time that miners with money in their pockets will buy anything on earth. Only a pity he had to leave behind six rocking-horses that Eleseus had ordered on his last trip to Bergen. The caravan turns into the yard at Sellanraa and sets down its load.
And they harnessed up, and Rebecca had the maid Jensine to look after her on the way, and Sivert said never a word against that either. While they are away, it so happens that Aronsen's man, his chief clerk, from Storborg, comes up the road. What does this mean?
True, on going through the inventory after, it was found that Aronsen's wife had converted most of the cotton print to her own use; but trifles of that sort were nothing to a man like Eleseus. It didn't do to be mean, he said. Nevertheless, Eleseus was not exactly delighted with things as they had turned out his future was settled now, he was to bury himself in the wilds.
