Thither the Hanseatic merchant transported wood and other forest products; building stones and iron, the latter being still forged in primitive forest smithies; and copper from the rich mines of Falun, the ore from which was usually sold or mortgaged to the Lubeck merchants.
'I'm sorry the watch is broken, for I want you to give it, with my greetings, to some one that I have wronged. Then he told me who was to have the watch, and bade me take it along to Falun and have it repaired before presenting it. But I never went back to Falun, and now I don't know what to do about it."
"I was just wondering if you didn't think it could be mended." Storm opened it and found that all the wheels were loose. "You must have been hammering nails with this watch," he said. "I can't do anything with it." "Don't you think that Eric, the clockmaker, could fix it?" "No, no more than I. You'd better send it to Falun and have new works put in."
"Look, there are the chimneys of Falun now," cried Gerda, pointing out of the car window; and a half-hour later the children found themselves at the neat little Rättvik station. "Six o'clock, and just on time," said Grandmother Ekman's cheerful voice, and the next moment all three were gathered in a great hug. "Is there room for triplets in your house?" asked Gerda.

"This is my brother," Karin replied. "He is the present Ingmar Ingmarsson." "He's rather little for that name," Storm remarked. "Yes, father died too soon!" "He did indeed," said the schoolmaster and his wife, both in the same breath. "He has been attending the school in Falun," Karin explained. "That's why he hasn't been here before." "Aren't you going to let him go back this year, too?"
"'Do you come now from Falun? "'Yes, and I can tell you that things turned out better than we thought. The mineralogist said that it was silver ore. "Pers Persson looked as if the earth had opened to engulf him. 'What is it you say? Is it silver? "'Yes, we shall all be rich men now and able to live as royalty. "'Oh, is it silver? repeated Pers Persson, in still greater dejection.
But before the day set for the first reading Karin and Halvor made a journey to Falun, to purchase the wedding ring and the prayerbook. They were away for three days, and when they got back Karin told her father that she could not marry Halvor. She had no fault to find with him save that on one occasion he had taken a drop too much, and she feared he might become like his father.
