Hanka stepped between them, sat down on a chair, and began to speak to Ojen. "Listen a moment!" she called after a while. "Ojen wants to read his latest a prose poem." And they settled down to listen. Ojen brought forth his prose poem from an inside pocket; his hands trembled. "I must ask your indulgence," said he.
For a moment she felt a vague sensation of happiness she was free; she would escape the yoke that had become oppressive; she would be a girl once more! Hanka Lange imagine, only Hanka Lange! And when she realised that her husband was almost a bankrupt it did not greatly upset her; he had said he might not be forced to shut down.
But it was of no avail that Milde tried to smooth things over; the seriousness of the moment had gone, they laughed and shouted more than ever, and cut loose in earnest. Norem opened one of the windows and sang to the street below. To mend matters a little and make Ojen feel better, Mrs. Hanka placed her hand on his shoulder and promised to come and see him off when he started on his trip.
So they were obliged to tell her the truth, and her poor little heart nearly broke when she thought of what her brother had gone through, and what danger he had been in. While this was going on, Mrs. Adamecz was bustling about in the kitchen, and giving every one plenty of work to do. Both the maids were called in to help, and the farm-servant too. "Come and whip this cream, Hanka.
"We are not going to the country after all," he said; "Hanka thought In fact, I told her plainly that if she wanted to go she would have to go alone; I was too busy to think of getting off. Hanka was very nice about it; she agreed to stay in the city." The door opened and Milde entered.
And Milde did not refrain; far from it; on the contrary, he had a remark to make. Could anybody tell him what it was all about? He admired Ojen as much as anybody, but was there any sense to all this "Jehovah said" and "Jehovah said"? He wanted to be enlightened. "But why are you always so unkind to Ojen?" asked Mrs. Hanka. "Memories can't you understand?
He did for the present. What else could he do? He would have to stick to the restaurants for a while, otherwise the gossips would finish poor Hanka altogether. People would simply say that she was to blame if he hadn't kept house the last few years; no sooner had she departed than Tidemand again went to housekeeping and stayed at home.
Johanna and Ida stood beside her and clung to her dress; they did not remember her clearly; they looked at her questioningly and were silent. "They don't know me," said Mrs. Hanka, and sat down again. "I have asked them." "Yes, I know you," said Johanna, and crawled up into her lap. Ida did the same. Tidemand looked at them unsteadily. "You mustn't crawl all over mamma, children," he said.
"I hope they will know me," she said. "I'll be up in a moment," he remarked. "I haven't much to do just now. Perhaps you would like to stay awhile? Here is the key; you need not ring. But be careful of their shoes if you take them on your lap. Well, don't laugh; God knows if their shoes aren't muddy!" Hanka went.
And the yacht tacked out toward the reefs. Mrs. Hanka had chosen a place far forward; her face was fresh, and she had thrown her fur coat around her shoulders; Milde said she looked picturesque. He added loudly and gaily: "And furthermore I wish it were drink time!" Ole brought out bottles and glasses. He went around and wrapped the ladies in shawls and blankets.
