"I was up that way just now on duty, along the line, and seems like I heard some one shouting. Turns round and listens quick as a flash Brede's the man to lend a hand if there's need. And so 'twas Axel, was it, lying under a tree, d'you say?" "Ay," says Axel. "And well you knew that saw and heard as well. But never helping hand...." "Good Lord, deliver us!" cries Oline, aghast.
"But I'll just say this: that I could get Barbro to come now; she's written home about it." "What Barbro?" said Isak. "Is it that Brede's girl you mean?" "Yes. She's in Bergen now." "I'll not have that Brede's girl Barbro up here," said he. "Whoever you get, I'll have none of her." That was better than nothing; Isak refused to have Barbro; he no longer said they would have no servant at all.
All as it should be with Axel Ström; a thought slowly, but sure in the end. And now he had got a horse. "So you've bought Brede's place?" said Isak. "Going to work it yourself?" "No, not for myself. I bought it for another man." "Ho!" "What d'you think; was it too much I gave for it?" "Why, no. Tis good land for a man that'll work it as it should."
As for that Barbro case, Oline was displeased, ay, disappointed was Oline. Both of them acquitted! That Brede's girl Barbro should be let off when Inger Sellanraa had got eight years was not to Oline's taste at all; she felt an unchristian annoyance at such favouritism. But the Almighty would look to things, no doubt, in His own good time!
"So you're leaving now," was all she said. Mr. Brede's porter came out with his luggage; he had stayed at the farm for these three days in order to be at hand. Then the manufacturer walked down through the field, accompanied by his wife and children. I don't know this man with his good humor and kindliness and money and everything, fond of his children, all in all to his wife
What did Brede want with live stock when he had no farm to keep them on? He had no cows; he had started farming with two goats, and had now four. Besides these, there were six sheep. No horse. Isak bought a certain sheep with flat ears. When Brede's children led it out from the shed, he started bidding at once, and people looked at him.
Brede seems to have been in luck for once, found something suited to him, and he may thank his wife for that. 'Twas Brede's wife had hit on the idea of a coffee-shop and lodging-house, the day she sat selling coffee at the auction at Breidablik; 'twas a pleasant enough thing to be selling something, to feel money in her fingers, ready cash.
Brede's cart is still out in the open does he mean to leave it there? Well, 'tis his own affair. Isak himself had a cart of his own now, and a shed to house it, but none the happier for that. His home is but half a thing; it had been a home once, but now only half a thing.
They sit down at the edge of the wood, and see the village just below them, the store and the quay, Brede's old lodging-house; some men are moving about by the steamer, getting ready. "Well, no time to stay sitting here," says Eleseus, getting up again. "Fancy you going all that way," says Sivert. And Eleseus answers: "But I'll be coming back again.
Brede's knowledge of farming, she told me with a shake of the head that she herself knew very little about it, and had all her information from her husband. The fact was that every time these cotters wanted to buy a fresh piece of land from Paul, her husband had to give his consent. This was because of the mortgage, and this, too, was how they had learned of these matters.
