Then there is an entertaining wagon, showing Kolchak sitting inside a fence in Siberia with a Red soldier on guard, Judenitch sitting in a little circle with a sign-post to show it is Esthonia, and Denikin running at full speed to the asylum indicated by another sign-post on which is the crescent of the Turkish Empire.
In Esthonia and Latvia, which had passed under the Russian yoke during the same period, the native movement was complicated by the class ambitions of the German barons; and there was a confused triangular struggle between German, Russian, and native influences, in which the interests and the principles of the Conference obviously lay on the side of the native party.
There are none but our two selves in all Esthonia who know that you are Olaf Triggvison, and this man could not by any means have discovered it." Olaf was silent for many moments, then at last he said: "Thorgils, I cannot deceive you. This man knows full well whose son I am, and it was I who told him." Thorgils drew in his breath, as if he had received a blow. "You told him?" he cried.
For ten years the boy had suffered in bondage under different masters, the last of whom Klerkon Flatface had brought him into Esthonia. "My one wish during all these years," said Egbert, has been to return to England, where the people are Christian, and do not worship your heathen gods.

If you would deal with him a guide will soon be got to take you over the hill." "Young flesh will keep," returned the warrior. "I will buy the lad next time we come to Esthonia."
This was rough treatment for gentlemen, but it happens from time to time in the course of history, and shows to what trials chivalrous blood is exposed when it can't have its own way. Finally Esthonia and Livonia fell into the hands of Charles II. of Sweden, from whom they were wrested by Peter the Great. Since that period these provinces have continued under the Russian dominion.
Another considerable region in which the dominant element of the population is German, the provinces of Courland, Esthonia, and Livonia, is condemned by its local situation to form part of a Slavonian state. In Eastern Germany itself there is a large Slavonic population; Bohemia is principally Slavonic, Silesia and other districts partially so.
It may be mentioned in connection with this point that Finland owed its conversion to Sweden very shortly afterwards, though the Swedish attempts in Esthonia failed.
Thorolf and his young son Thorgills, with the boy Olaf, were sold to a viking named Klerkon, who killed Thorolf because he was too old to bring any price as a slave, but kept the boys, whom he soon traded away in Esthonia for a big ram.
