That jacket it was worn to fringes at the wrists. "Won't you have some dry hose to put on?" said Inger, and brought out a pair of her own. They were from her best days; fine and thin, with a border. "No, thanks," said Geissler shortly, though he must have been wet through. "Much better have come to me," he said again, speaking of Eleseus. "I want him badly."
Next day came the two messengers back from Sweden, and with them a couple of the mine-owners; on horseback they were, fine gentlemen and portly; mighty rich folk, by the look of them. They hardly stopped at Sellanraa at all, simply asked a question or so about the road, without dismounting, and rode on up the hill. Geissler they pretended not to see, though he stood quite close.
One of the clearest of these was that made by Arthur Geissler among miners and cited by Dr. Thus we see that the second and third children have a very good chance to live through the first year. Children arriving later have less and less chance, until the twelfth has hardly any chance at all to live twelve months.
One entry which I copied was this: "O. Pasha ordered the division to ravage and rape," the village being one where the inhabitants had never taken part in the insurrection. "All villages were burned," wrote Geissler, and all prisoners murdered or worse.
You've got a mine of your own up here, and what have you done with it? Huh! Lies there doing nothing. Ay, you're the sort to have a mine, aren't you? He he!" "Get out of this," said Geissler. And Brede did not stay long, but shouldered his load of samples and went down to his own menage, without saying good-bye. Geissler sat down and began to look over some papers with a thoughtful air.
For all their trouble of mind over the drought, Sellanraa's folk were glad to see Geissler again; they gave him the best they had, and were heartily glad to do what they could for him after all he had done. Geissler himself had no troubles that could be seen; he grew talkative at once, looked out over the fields and nodded.
I'll send you those machines all right." And Geissler went. Would he ever come again? The rest of the workmen came down from the mine. Work is stopped. The fjeld lies dead again. The building at Sellanraa, too, is finished now.
Look here," said one, "we'll go this far, and say twenty-five thousand." "You're still inclined to joke, I see," said Geissler. "But I'll make you an offer in sober earnest: would you care to sell your bit of a mine up there?" "Why," said they, somewhat taken aback "why, we might do that, perhaps." "I'm ready to buy it," said Geissler. Oh, that Geissler!
Off hurries Geissler to Sivert once more: "That's right keep at it didn't I say he was a sturdy sort? Follow these stakes, you understand, where I've marked out. If you come up against heavy boulders, or rock, then turn aside and go round, but keep the level the same depth; you see what I mean?" Then back to Isak again: "That's one finished good! But we shall want more half a dozen, perhaps.
They must ascertain in any case. The Swedes had offered him twenty-five thousand Geissler had refused. But suppose the village here, the commune, were to make up the remainder, simply to get things going again? If it were not an altogether unheard-of amount, it might be worth while.
