After this came a period of political grandeur under various rulers, notably Queen Christine, followed by what has been called the period of Liberty, or the Aristocratic Republic, under Queen Ulrica Eleonore, when literature and the arts and sciences flourished, and Swedenborg, Linnaeus, Dahlin, Tegnér, and many others came into prominence.
Reports and rumours of the most fantastic kind passed from group to group, giving rise to fierce discussions. Six boys had been drowned instead of three, some one asserted. In another minute they heard that no one had been lost. Most credence was given to a circumstantial report of the miraculous recovery of Dahlin after he had been fully fifteen minutes under water.
"Three boys were drowned skating during the lunch hours," continued Bergman breathlessly. "Two were in my class Hill and Samson, you know. The third, Dahlin, was in your own class." "Is Dahlin dead?" asked Keith blankly. The thing seemed impossible to him.
He choked with a vague sense of pity. Samson, he knew, was the only son of a poor widow. Hill's mother was very sick, some one had said. And Dahlin.... Keith instinctively raised his head to look at the place which Dahlin had occupied that very morning. What did it mean ...?
On his way home Keith's thoughts ran in a futile circle around the day's event. If they had never left the rink ... if they had been saved ... if the story about Dahlin could have been true.... Always his thoughts returned to the same point: the strangeness of the fact that those boys would never appear again.
He had been talking to Dahlin that very morning a tall boy, slow, self-possessed, older than most of the other pupils, and advanced for his age in everything but studies. "He is," said Bergman with emphasis. "And so are the other two. They are dragging for the bodies now." So that was what I saw those people doing out there, Keith thought. "Little Moses was with them," Bergman ran on.
