Outside were some badly worn wooden steps; Elof's foot caught in a hole, and down he went. Halvor fell upon him, seized the watch, then gave him several hard kicks. "You'd better quit kicking me, and find out what's wrong with my back," said Elof. Halvor stopped at once, but Elof made no move to raise himself. "Help me up," he said. "You can help yourself when you've slept off your jag."
"She's somebody worth winning, even if one has to wait seven long years." But it was not so easy for Halvor to have patience, for he soon learned that this one and that one was paying court to Karin. This began within a fortnight of Elof's funeral. One Sunday afternoon Halvor sat on the steps in front of his shop, watching the people coming and going.
She would rather he had waited two or three years before coming; that would have been long enough to make folks see that he had not been impatient for Elof's departure. "Why need he be in such haste?" she wondered. "Surely he must know that I don't want anyone but him." Every one had stopped talking the moment Karin appeared, wondering how she and Halvor would greet each other.
