But Geissler was not to be frightened; he demanded a revision of the case, new trial, new examination, and everything. And after that the King had to sign. Ex-Lensmand Geissler had always been a good friend to them both, and they had often wondered why; he got nothing out of it but their poor thanks it was more than they could understand.
But Geissler had doubtless no intention of uttering that word now unless it were needed. Things were going splendidly without; even the advocate for the Crown had declared himself on the side of the accused. The room fills, and the court is sitting again. An interesting comedy to watch in a little town.
Some blamed Geissler; 'twas Geissler, that devil of a man, who had tricked them once more. Others huddled together at a meeting and sent out a new deputation of trusty men, this time to the mining company, to the engineer.
"The only thing," he said, "it's a heavy long way from school: I'll have to get the lads to stay down in the village." But Geissler, always so quick to find a way, saw nothing to worry about here. "There are more people buying and settling here now," said he. "It won't be long before there's enough to start a school." "Ay, maybe, but not before my boys are grown."
It wouldn't be wise to do anything tonight, but tomorrow ... ay, tomorrow morning's the time. Three sheep lost and gone! And coffee, did she say!" Next day was fated to bring a great event. There came a visitor to the farm Geissler came.
"What's the time, I wonder? Ay, she'll be green by this time tomorrow!" said he. Sivert got up in the middle of the night to see how things were going, and found his father out already on the same errand. Oh, but it was a thrilling time a day of great events! But next day, Geissler stayed in bed till nearly noon, worn out now that the fit had passed.
There was something peculiar, he thought, about the tone of these negotiations; it looked very much like a family affair between the parties. One of the strangers would say: "My dear Geissler, you ought not to have such red eyes, you know." Whereto Geissler answered sharply, if evasively: "No, I ought not, I know. But we don't all get what we ought to in this world!"
Simple, isn't it? I beat those fellows in Sweden by a few hours, that's all." Geissler is short of breath again; he gets on his feet, and says: "If you're going down, let's get along." They go on down together, Geissler dragging behind, all tired out.
Geissler agreed that might be a decent price enough for any one sorely in need of the money, but five-and-twenty thousand would be better. And then one of the gentlemen put in saying it perhaps by way of keeping Geissler from soaring too far: "By the way, I've seen your wife's people in Sweden they sent their kind regards." "Thank you," said Geissler.
Well, of course, there are exceptions, otherwise there would be no rule. But on the whole...." "We pass protective measures for beast and bird," said Geissler; "seems rather strange, doesn't it, not to trouble about our own young?" The advocate for the Crown reached out slowly and with dignity after some papers on the table, as a hint that he had not time to continue the discussion.
