He must be looking for some one else. "No, it's you I want," said the lad, taking Barefoot's hand. "Will you dance?" Amrei could not speak. But what need was there to speak? She threw everything she had in her arms down into a corner jackets, neckerchiefs, caps, pipes, and door-keys and stood there ready.
Barefoot was the first to speak; she cried out: "Believe me, John, I have never seen her like that before, never in my whole life! And it was my fault." "Yes, it was your fault. And, now, come; you shall go with me and be mine. Will you? I have found you, and I did not seek you. But now you shall live with me and be my wife. It is God's will." If any one could have seen Barefoot's eyes then!
'He's figgering on something hard, said Dave Terril. 'Might be about Jim Courtot. 'Or them tracks, suggested Sandy Weaver. 'The barefoot's and the gigantic wolf. 'Or, put in a chuckling voice from the shadows, 'a girl, huh? Having took a good look at old man Longstreet's girl, I wouldn't blame Al overmuch.
Rose, on the other hand, scolded, and declared that it was a bit of spite on Barefoot's part, this being ill just now she had done it out of meanness, knowing that she would be wanted. Barefoot made no reply. When she was out in the cow-shed, putting clover into the mangers, she heard a clear voice say: "Good morning! At work so early?" It was his voice.
Decided, namely, to go with a big expedition, and look thoroughly into that wing of his Dominions; where no doubt much has fallen awry since Magnus Barefoot's grand visit thither, and seems to be inviting the cupidity of bad neighbors! "All this we will put right again," thinks Hakon, "and gird it up into a safe and defensive posture."
Nearly the whole day John sat in the room with Rose, who was making a man's shirt. Toward evening Mistress Rodel's parents came, along with other relatives. It must be decided one way or the other today. The roast was sputtering in the kitchen, the pine wood cracking and snapping, and Barefoot's cheeks were glowing, heated by the fire on the hearth and the fire that was burning within her.
Barefoot was then told to sit still and to promise not to look at herself in the glass until the farmer's wife returned; and the latter hurried away to get the ornament, herself being surety for the money lent upon it. What a thrill now went through Barefoot's soul as she sat there! She who had always waited upon others was now being waited upon herself! and indeed almost as if under a spell.
And so great was the acknowledged authority of Little Barefoot already, and so natural did it seem that she should dictate to her brother, that he was always called "Barefoot's Damie," as if he were not her brother, but her son. And yet he was a head taller than she, and did not act as if he were subordinate to her.
A fullblossomed carnation falls from Barefoot's hand, but lands on the valise behind him; he does not see it, and it lies there in the road. Barefoot hurries down and recovers the treacherous token. And now the truth comes over her like the dawning of a terrible day. This is the suitor for Rose this is he of whom she spoke last evening. And is this man to be deceived?
