Strom was a famous worker who got twenty-five ores a day more than other autumn farm-hands, and his example was used as an incentive to coax work out of the laborers. "We shall soon get right into the inside of the earth." "Well, but it's burning hot in there." "Oh, nonsense: is it?" Pelle paused doubtfully in his digging. "Yes, the schoolmaster says so."

I knew, too, that Ambrosch put upon her some chores a girl ought not to do, and that the farm-hands around the country joked in a nasty way about it. Whenever I saw her come up the furrow, shouting to her beasts, sunburned, sweaty, her dress open at the neck, and her throat and chest dust-plastered, I used to think of the tone in which poor Mr.
