"To whom else should the letter originally have come, than to geb ?" " Geb ? geb ? Yes, who is geb ?" asked Bagger with bewildered look. "Who other than Ingeborg? is it not the third fourth, and fifth letters of my name?"
As Bagger in the presence of Ingeborg opened the letter and again saw the long-lost epistle of his early days, he trembled like a man before whom the spirit-world apparently passes. But as he perceived the added words, he exclaimed in utter perplexity: "Am I awake? Do I dream? How is this possible?" "Why should it not be possible?" asked Ingeborg.
