Now, I am a business man myself, and I have taken it into my head that I should like to have a hand in this little speculation myself, so I left Drammen yesterday to come to Dal to arrange for the transfer of this ticket, and to beg Dame Hansen to give me the preference over all other would-be purchasers."
A few seconds later he had disappeared around a turn in the road. When Hulda opened the book she found there only this name "Sandgoist, from Drammen."
It was before the opening of the Drammen Railway, and it was a dreadfully long carriole drive from Christiania to Drammen. But everything depended upon getting off hyp getting to Drammen hyp, hyp in time to catch the train which left for Modum at two o'clock. Hyp oh, dear, if the train should be gone to wait until next day alone in Drammen!
"You know him?" "Yes, it is Sandgoist." "Sandgoist, of Drammen, who came here during my absence?" "Yes." "And who acted in such a lordly way that he would seem to have mother, and us, too, perhaps, in his power?" "The same, brother; and he has probably come to make us feel his power to-day." "What power? This time I will know the object of his visit."
He also met Count Videll, a 'most fascinating person' who, being asked as to the purchase of a carriage, replied politely, 'I will give you one'; and he sent it, saying, 'It is nothing, I have plenty. The valley of the Drammen he beheld from the mountain of their descent, 'charm and awe' by turns are the sensations of the travellers, and this led them on to Kongsberg, at one time famous for its silver mines, but the mines not being worked and the timber trade also decreasing, the population went with it and was then only 4000.
"Number 9672 wins the prize of one hundred thousand marks!" repeated the director. "Who claims it?" "I do." Was it the usurer of Drammen who answered thus? No. It was a young man a young man with a pale face, whose features and whole person bore marks of prolonged suffering, but alive, really and truly alive.
When night came there was no darkness, but a strong golden gleam, whereby one could read until after ten o'clock. We reached the mouth of Christiania Fjord a little after midnight, and most of the passengers arose to view the scenery. After passing the branch which leads to Drammen, the fjord contracts so as to resemble a river or one of our island-studded New England lakes.
And now it was upon the Drammen usurer that public odium fell; upon the heartless creditor who had not hesitated to take advantage of the misfortunes of the Hansen family, and as if by common consent the offers which had been made while Hulda held the ticket were not renewed.
In Lusatia the Brethren had centres of work at Herrnhut, Niesky and Kleinwelke; in Silesia, at Gnadenfrei, Gnadenberg, Gnadenfeld and Neusalz; in Pomerania, at Rügen and Mecklenburg; in East Prussia, at Danzig, Königsberg and Elbing; in Thuringia, at Neudietendorf; in the Palatinate and the Wetterau; at Neuwied; in Brandenburg, at Berlin and Potsdam; in Denmark, at Christiansfeld, Schleswig, Fühnen, and Copenhagen; in Norway, at Christiana, Drammen and Bergen; in Sweden, at Stockholm and Gothenburg; in Switzerland, at Basel, Bern, Zürich and Montmirail; and finally, in Livonia and Esthonia, they employed about a hundred preachers and ministered to about six thousand souls.
Not one of the crew could have survived the shipwreck, and Hulda would never see her lover again. Suddenly another report diverted the minds of the crowd. It was rumored that Sandgoist had decided to leave Drammen, and several persons pretended that they had seen him in the streets of Christiania. Could it be that he had ventured into this hall?
