They stopped at her door and said good-bye. She ascended the few steps hesitatingly, without even lifting her dress; suddenly she turned, ran downstairs again, and seized Coldevin's hand. Without another word she hurried up-stairs and through the door. He stood still a moment. He heard her steps from inside, then they died down. And he turned and drifted down the street.
If some one smites it on one cheek it turns the other accommodatingly, and keeps its fists in its pockets with admirable self-control." Coldevin's speech attracted not a little attention; they all looked closely at him. He sat there as usual and spoke quietly, without excitement. But his eyes blazed, and his hands trembled as he awkwardly bent back his fingers until they cracked.
Suddenly she imagined seeing Coldevin's dark eyes peering out from a corner; but as she took a step forward to look closer the eyes disappeared and she forgot all about it. "What a pity we are in such a hurry!" she said several times. When they had rushed through the first floor their time was up and they had to leave.
When he reached the harbour he suddenly caught a glimpse of Coldevin's head behind a pile of packing-cases. Irgens noticed the direction of his glance, but this told him nothing; the old imbecile was evidently lost in some crazy meditation or other. It was amusing to see him so altogether unconscious of his surroundings, standing there agape with his nose in the air.
Coldevin's entertainment once before in Tivoli, I believe. This will have to satisfy me for the present." It was only with difficulty that Irgens succeeded in hiding his displeasure. This was the second time to-day he had seen Coldevin; he had observed him outside his lodgings in Thranes Road No. 5. He had not been able to get Aagot out until this infernal fellow had disappeared.
"I thought it best to tell you. Mrs. Tidemand, one of the few sterling personalities in the clique, even she! One from that crowd has destroyed her, too." "Is that true?" said Aagot. "Well, I don't care in the least for them; alas, no! I don't want to remember any of them." And she seized Coldevin's arm and pressed close to him as if in fear. This embarrassed him still more.
"You almost make me want to cry; honestly you do." "But, dear Miss Aagot " "To get married isn't the same as to die, I'm sure." Coldevin's manner instantly changed; he became jocular. "Die! Well, I like that! But you are right in saying that I have been sitting here and depressing you with my talk. It was mostly your mother I was thinking of.
It seems to me it is my turn to speak a little with Coldevin; you have had him to yourself long enough, Ole." And she took Ole's chair and sat down. "The letters from home are full of questions about you. Mamma asked me to see that you were comfortable at your hotel." Coldevin's lips quivered again, and he said, with his eyes on the floor: "How can you bother with such things now?
He had noticed later on that Coldevin's foolish remarks about the poets and the youth of the country had amused her inordinately; what could that mean? Altogether it had been an unpleasant evening. Mrs. Hanka had sat there with her cracked lips unable to smile decently, and Mrs. Paulsberg was impossible. The evening was simply wasted.
