"Moreover, Froeken Thelma, though it sorely distresses me to speak of it, it is my duty, as a minister of the Lord, to remind you that an honest marriage, a marriage of virtue and respectability such as I propose, is the only way to restore your reputation, which, alas! is sorely damaged, and " Mr.
"Oh dear, oh dear!" she cried, "to think that the Froeken should be so ill almost dying! and have nobody but you to attend to her!" This, with a vindictive toss of the brown curls. Ulrika winced at her words she was hurt, but she answered gently
Well, I did not stop to think twice about it I started off for Talvig at once I ran nearly all the way. I found my grandmother alone I asked her if she had seen the Froeken? She screamed and clapped her hands like a mad woman! she said that the Froeken was with Mr. Dyceworthy Mr. Dyceworthy would know what to do with her!" "Sapristi!" ejaculated Duprez. "This is serious!"
No matter how I am compromised, no matter how I am misjudged, I am still willing to take you as my lawful wife Froeken Thelma, but," and here he shook his forefinger at her with a pretended playfulness, "I will permit no more converse with Sir Philip Errington; no, no! I cannot allow it! . . . I cannot, indeed!"
Errington shook him off good-humoredly. "Can you tell me," he said, addressing Valdemar again in distinct accents, "whether there is any place, person, or thing near here called Thelma?" The pilot started; a look of astonishment and fear came into his eyes; his hand went instinctively to his red cap, as though in deference to the name. "The Froeken Thelma!" he exclaimed, in low tones.
"Just fancy!" she said to herself "some one may hate the Froeken even in London just as they hated her in Bosekop, because she is so unlike everybody else. I shall keep my eyes open, and I shall soon find out any wickedness against her! My beautiful, dear darling! I believe the world is a cruel place after all, but she shan't be made unhappy in it, if I can help it!"
"Certainly, I will take my departure, Froeken!" he said meekly, while his teeth glimmered wolfishly through his pale lips, in a snarl more than a smile. "It is best you should be alone to recover yourself from this this undue excitement!
I remember how she cursed the Froeken, perhaps her curse has brought all the trouble if so, it's a good thing she's dead, for now everything will come right again. I used to fancy she had some crime to confess, did she say anything wicked when she was dying?" Ulrika avoided a direct reply to this question.
But there was one person who was not deceived by Lady Winsleigh's charm of manner, and grace of speech. This was Britta. Her keen eyes flashed a sort of unuttered defiance into her ladyship's beautiful, dark languishing ones she distrusted her, and viewed the intimacy between her and the "Froeken" with entire disfavor.
I shall not repeat my my offer; but I am sure your good sense will in time show you how very unjust and hasty you have been in this matter and and you will be sorry! Yes, indeed! I am quite sure you will be sorry! I wish you good day, Froeken Thelma!"
