But I saw also the appeal in the eyes of the Playmate, and I was resolved not to give her the chance. "Are you never weary in this dull tower?" asked the lawyer's daughter, still holding the Playmate's hand. "It is not dull," replied Helene. "I have my work. There are two men as shiftless and helpless as babes to attend to, and none to help me but old Hanne."
But from the Triangle onward it was difficult for her to keep step; she had run herself off her legs. "Many thanks for to-day," she said to Pelle, down in the courtyard. "To- morrow one must start work again and clean old uniform trousers. But it's been a beautiful outing." She waddled forward and up the steps, groaning a little at the numbers of them, talking to herself. Hanne stood hesitating.
"Yes," replied Hanne breathlessly, "yes, why not? If one can beg one can do that!" She ran out onto the gallery and tore away a few bits of trellis, so that the sound re-echoed through the court. People watched her out of all the dark windows. Widow Hanne had knocked off the head of her pride! Then they sat down to their soup, the old woman and the child.
God only knew how he had allowed himself to be so entangled! It was a piece of luck that he hadn't been caught there was no future for Hanne. Madam Johnsen continued to lean on him affectionately, and she often came over for a little conversation; she could not forget the good times they had had together.
No, one ought to have enough money to be able to go into the forests every Sunday all the summer. When one has grown up in the open air it's hard to be penned in between dirty walls all one's life. But now I think we ought to be going on. We waste so much time." "Oh Lord, and I'm so comfortable lying here!" said Hanne lazily. "Pelle, just push my shawl under my head!"
They didn't know themselves, there were so many of them! Hanne and her mother were invited too, but they had gone to bed early they were not inclined for sociability. One after another they were pulled into the room, and they came with cheerful faces. Marie turned the lamp out and went in to light up the Christmas tree. They sat in silence and expectation.
Now she is quite white, and Olsen's Elvira comes up and tugs at her dress, with anxiety in her glance. "Hanne, Hanne!" But Hanne does not see her; she is only longing for the next pair of arms her eyes are closed. She has so much to make up for! And who so innocent as she? She does not once realize that she is robbing others of their pleasure. Is she suffering from vertigo or St.
And then after that she ran up-stairs, slammed the door of her own chamber, and came not down to our nooning, so that old Hanne had to call her three times. And once, when I had occasion to cross the court-yard to the guard-house, I saw her standing pensively by the window. But so soon as she saw me she vanished within and was seen no more.
As they went down the steps, Hanne started; and her hand fell limply from his. The stranger came quickly up to her. He held out his hand to Hanne, quietly and as a matter of course, as though he had known her for years. Pelle, apparently, he did not see. "Will you come somewhere with me where we can hear music, for example?" he asked, and he continued to hold her hand.
When she came running home from the factory, she had no eyes for anything but her little girl, who threw herself upon her mother and immediately wanted to play. For the remainder of the day the child was close under her eyes, and Hanne had to hold her hand as she moved about, and play with her and the doll. "Far up the mountain did I climb,"
