You may know it by these signs: the gifts of the Spirit which descended upon the early Christians, have also fallen upon us. There are some among us who hear the Voice of God, others who prophesy, and others, again, who heal the sick " "Can you heal the sick?" Halvor broke in eagerly. "Yes," answered Hellgum. "I can heal those who have faith in me."
In a little while Halvor came upon the lassies who stood washing, and they asked if he had seen anything of the West Wind who was to come and dry the clothes for the wedding. 'Aye, aye, that I have', said Halvor, 'he's only gone to tear down a strip of spruce wood. It'll not be long before he's here', and then he asked them the way to SORIA MORIA CASTLE.
A couple of peasants who had come from a distance to trade with him hung around outside the shop from noon till evening. But no Tims Halvor appeared. Elof Ersson, the husband of Karin Ingmarsson, was the son of a cruel and avaricious peasant, who had always treated him harshly. As a child he had been half starved, and even after he was grown up his father kept him under his thumb.
Then she took the ring from his finger, and put another in its stead; and so she said: 'Now hold me all together! and now would we were all in SORIA MORIA CASTLE. So when Halvor woke up, he could very well tell that he had lost the Princesses, and began to weep and wail; and he was so downcast, they couldn't comfort him at all.
Here were works and service and no mere emotionalism, which meant nothing to her. However, she would not admit this, for she had made up her mind to have no further dealings with preachers. So she said to Halvor: "My father's faith is good enough for me." A fortnight later Karin was again seated in the living-room.
'I shan't go', said Halvor, 'if he has six heads besides. 'He'll take you up and swallow you down alive', said the Princess. But it was no good, Halvor wouldn't go; he wasn't at all afraid of the Troll, but meat and drink he must have, for he was half starved after his long journey. Well, he got as much of that as he wished, but then the Princess wanted him to be off again.
'Our Halvor was so idle and slothful that he never did anything at all, and he was so ragged that one hole ran into another all over his clothes. Such a fellow as he was could never turn into such a man as you are, sir.
Scarcely had he said this before they were standing by his side, but then he was very sorrowful, for the words which they had said to him came to his mind. Up at the farm a great feast was made ready for the Princesses, and much respect paid to them, but they would not stay there. 'We want to go down to your parents, they said to Halvor, 'so we will go out and look about us.
Big Ingmar then said that he would not try to influence her against her better judgment, so Halvor was dismissed, and the engagement was off. Halvor took it very much to heart. "You are heaping upon me shame that will be hard to bear," he said. "What will people think if you throw me over in this way? It isn't fair to treat a decent man like that."
Then, all at once her father's old saying came to her: "The Ingmarssons need have no fear of men; they have only to walk in the ways of God." Karin hastily opened the door, and stood facing Halvor before he could manage to leave the room. "Are you leaving so soon, Halvor?" she asked. "I thought you were going to stay to supper." Halvor stood staring at Karin.
