"If you will excuse us for twenty minutes or so, Mr. Dyceworthy," he said, "Lorimer and I want to consult a fellow here in Bosekop about some new fishing tackle. We shan't be gone long. Mac, you and Duprez wait for us here. Don't commit too many depredations on Mr. Dyceworthy's strawberries."
There was indeed but a short distance to go, the narrow wooded defile opened out on two roads, one leading direct to Bosekop the other, steep and tortuous, winding down to the shore of the Fjord this latter passed the bonde's gate.
She called out 'Hey, Britta! Do you know they have got your mistress down at Talvig, and they'll burn her for a witch before they sleep! 'She has gone to Bosekop, I answered, 'so I know you tell a lie. 'It is no lie, said the old woman, 'old Lovisa has her this time for sure. And she laughed and went away.
"Throttled him, lads! I would! Give me the chance and I'll do it now! I tell you, the mere look of such a man as that is a desecration to my child, liar and hypocrite as he is! may the gods confound him!" He paused then suddenly bracing himself up, added.

"It is a wicked plot!" she then exclaimed, panting with excitement "a wicked, wicked plot! This afternoon Mr. Dyceworthy's servant came and brought Sir Philip's card. It said that he had met with an accident and had been brought back to Bosekop, and that he wished the Froeken to come to him at once. Of course, the darling believed it all and she grew so pale, so pale!
