"Eight cows!" "That is to say, counting the bull." "Have you sold any butter?" "Ay, and eggs." "What, have we chickens now?" "Ay, of course we have. And a pig." Inger is so astonished at all this that she forgets herself altogether, and stops for a moment "Ptro!" And Isak is proud and keeps on, trying to overwhelm her completely. "That Geissler," he says, "you remember him?
We're just going to sell these things here before your eyes, and then we'll be off home again." "Get away and wash your dirty mouth," says Aronsen furiously. "Ha ha ha! Nay, you've no call to dance about that way; keep still and look like a picture!" Geissler is tired, tired out, even his smoked glasses do not help him now, his eyes keep closing in the glare.
She did not wear either of his rings.... And now here is Axel tramping up to his own place once more. Wind and rain, but he is glad at heart; a mowing-machine and a harrow down at the quay; he had seen them. Oh, that Geissler! Never a word had he said in town about what he had sent. Ay, an unfathomable man was Geissler.
Inconceivable! Oh, but Geissler was an unfathomable mind; he could make a bargain or refuse, shake his head for a "No," or nod the same for "Yes." Could make the whole village smile again. Conscience had pricked him, maybe; he had no longer the heart to see the district where he had been Lensmand famishing on home-made gruel and short of money. Or had he got his quarter of a million?
And a highly remarkable load it brought. The driver was a man from the village, but beside him walked a gentleman at whom Isak stared in astonishment it was Geissler. There were other things that might have given Isak matter for surprise, but he was no great hand at thinking of more than one thing at a time. "Where's Inger?" was all he said as he passed by the kitchen door.
It may also be used where it is desired to seal the tube through the side of a tube, or for a tube sealed through the wall of a bulb, as in a Geissler potash bulb or similar apparatus. Where there is not space to join the inner tube to the blowing tube by a rubber tube, this joint may be made with a small piece of gummed paper, which can readily be broken when desired.
Children! thought Geissler, maybe, in his lofty mind; he felt his power now, felt strong enough to be short and abrupt with folk. The others had certainly done their best to take him down a peg; they imagined they were dealing with a man in need of money, and threw out hints of some fifteen or twenty thousand ay, children. They did not know Geissler. And now here he stood.
Whereupon Geissler added something, presumably an explanation, and the man he had brought with him signed as a witness. Settled. But Oline was still there, standing immovable it was indeed but now she had turned so stiff. What was to happen? "Dinner on the table, Oline," said Isak, possibly with a tough of dignity, after having signed his name in writing on a paper.
Him that won't sell his bit of fjeld and let things get to work again, and trade and money passing same as before." "D'you mean him Geissler, then?" "Ay, 'tis him I mean. Ought to be shot!" Axel laughs at this, and says: "Geissler he was in town but a few days back; you should have talked to him there. But if I might be so bold as to say, I doubt you'd better leave him alone, after all."
Both the trader at the shore station and Aronsen up at Storborg would be willing to contribute privately and secretly; funds devoted to such a purpose now would be repaid in the long run. The end of it was that two men were deputed to call on Geissler and take up the matter with him. And they were expected back shortly.
