Bogstad of Hansine. "How can I? I have never been far from home. Mountains and forests and lakes are all I know." "True," said he, "and we can see grandeur and beauty by contrast only." "But here is Signe," remarked Hansine; "she has never seen much of the world, yet you should hear her. I can never get her interested in my cows.
The lamp burned late into the night as these two men sat by it talking; and the conversation was not, as one of them had planned, for the most part about the land of America and its material opportunities. "Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:33. "I cannot understand him," Frue Bogstad was saying. "His actions are so strange."
I've always lived up here, and it's work, work all the time but those cows are slow coming home." She lifted her lur to her lips and once more made the woods ring. Down at the foot of the hills, where the pines gave place to small, grassy openings, stood a group of log huts, towards which the cows were now seen wending. "Come, Hr. Bogstad, I see the cows are coming. I must go down to meet them."
What do you think, Hr. Bogstad?" As the girl caught sight of the new arrival she started and the color came to her face. He went up to her. "How are you, Signe?" he said. "How do you like life on a saeter?" "Well, I hardly know," she said, seemingly quite embarrassed. "Oh, I'll tell you," broke in the busy Hansine, as she came with a pail full of salt.
Early the next morning Hansine's brother came up to the saeter to take home the week's accumulation of butter and cheese. Signe, perched on the top of the two-wheeled cart, was also going home. Hr. Bogstad, mounted on his horse, accompanied them a short distance, then rode off in another direction. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3
Who could it be? He was described, and then Signe knew that it was Hr. Bogstad. He had said that he could call again in the evening. Signe was troubled. What should she do? He was following her, but they must not meet. It would do no good. The steamer was to sail tomorrow, and she would go on board that night. She called a carriage and was driven to the wharf.
The girls played house under the trees. And were it part of this story, it might be here told how that, later, Arnt Bogstad and Margaret Ames loved and mated but it is not. Henrik and Marie lived happily together for twelve years, and then Marie was called into the spirit world. Henrik was left with five children, the youngest but a few months old.
Henrik mingled more freely with his tenants at Nordal, and they soon became aware of a change in him. He gave them good treatment. Sometimes, there were Sunday services in the large parlor of the Bogstad residence, and the people were invited to attend. They turned out, it must be admitted, more because of Hr. Bogstad's invitation than because of any enthusiasm on their part.
