At length we arrive at Arthur, the son of Uther. To him the entire monarchy of Britain belonged by hereditary right. Hoel sends him fifteen thousand men from Armorica, and he makes the Saxons his tributaries; and with his own hand kills four hundred and seventy in one battle. He not only conquers the Saxons, but subdues Gaul, among other countries, and holds his court in Paris.
With the other half he devised to conquer Anjou, Auvergne, Gascony, and Poitou; yea, to overrun Lorraine and Burgundy, if the task did not prove beyond his power. Hoel did his lord's commandment, even as Arthur purposed. He conquered Berri, and afterwards Touraine, Auvergne, Poitou, and Gascony. Guitard, the King of Poitiers, was a valiant captain, having good knights in his service.
When Kjersti had shown Lisbeth the sheep and the goats, she declared that she should certainly need a little girl to look after her flocks when spring came; and then Lisbeth, before she knew what she was saying, told Kjersti how she and Jacob used to look at the farms from the window at home, and how she had always chosen Hoel as the place where she should like to work when she was big enough.
The vessel was now dropping up the river, with anchor swinging, and the women on the pier were walking inland slowly, keeping pace and waving a greeting from time to time in answer to a husband's shout. "That is she, Monsieur L'Abbe," said Hoel Grall, with a peculiar twitch of his coarse mouth, as if from pain. "That is she with the little child!" Rene Drucquer bowed his head, saying nothing.
Bliros gazed at her in astonishment. Such a silly goat! She had never seen such a silly goat. And with that she turned her head to the wall again and did not give Crookhorn another look. That evening Lisbeth Longfrock had so many things to tell her mother that she talked herself fast asleep! The next time Lisbeth Longfrock came to Hoel Farm, she did not come alone; and she came to stay!
The authority was to him Divine, the command came from one whom he had sworn to look up to and obey as the earthly representative of his Master. At length the deck was cleared, and order reigned on board, though the mainsail could not be set until the weather moderated. Then Hoel Grall came up to the young Englishman and said: "Monsieur, let us carry the 'patron' down below.
That key she would not intrust to any one else; she wanted to deliver it to Kjersti Hoel with her own hand. After trying the door vigorously to be sure that it was securely locked, she went to the window and looked in to assure herself that everything was in order and the fire entirely out. Then, going over to the military horse, she climbed into the saddle.
In the black night, threading the crooked and ever-changing channel of the Mississippi River, it was impossible to go more than half-speed. In the bow men were stationed casting the lead, and calling out the soundings to the brave old Capt. Hoel, who stood on the upper deck unprotected from the storm of bullets, and repeated the soundings to Capt. Walker.
All in all, she was beautiful, as she sat there in her little room waiting for church time to come. This was the day that she was to be confirmed. A knock was heard at the door, and in stepped Kjersti Hoel. She also was dressed in her very best, an old-fashioned black dress with a gathered waist, and a freshly ironed cap with a frill around the face and strings hanging down.
But first and foremost are you greeted by me. Your affectionate sister, Lisbeth Jacob's-daughter Longfrock. P.S. Excuse the writing. Burn this letter, dear. Late on Saturday evening Lisbeth Longfrock went jogging slowly up over the hilly road to Hoel Farm. The milkmaid had given her leave to go to the farm and to stay away until Monday evening.
