The travellers dared not climb them without someone to show the way, and nobody in the village knew the way so well as Hans's uncle. The uncle was so brave and trusty that he was known throughout the whole country, and everybody who came to the mountains wanted him as guide. One day a Prince came, and no sooner had he rested from his journey than he sent for Hans's uncle.
Then tired Hans rejoiced, greeted him, and asked how far it might be to the nearest habitation of man. "To-day you can no longer reach it," replied the old man. "Whither are you journeying?" "I seek Paradise," answered Hans: "nearly a year have I wandered over the earth, and yet have not found it." Thereupon the old man arose, laid his hands upon Hans's shoulder, and said, "Turn back and go home!
I thought it probable he would be safer left as he was as these ravenous brutes, seeing him alive, might not so readily approach him. So I left him with his "head under his arm," in hopes that we may find him there to-morrow." So ended Hans's narrative of his day's adventures. The field-cornet was far from satisfied with his day's work. His first attempt at elephant-hunting had proved a failure.
Even then I could not help laughing to myself as I pictured what my dear father's face would be like if he were able to hear his convert's remarks. An analysis of Hans's religious views would be really interesting, and I only regret that I never made one. But sticking to business I merely asked: "What sign?" "Baas, this sign: That web is the Motombo's cave. The big spider is the Motombo.
But, in the first place, she had no money to pay for a return ticket; and, secondly, it would be a great pity to deprive little Hans of the Presidency and all the grandeur that his lucky star might here bring him. Inga was just contemplating this bright vision of Hans's future, when she found herself passing through a gate, at which a clerk was seated.
"I tied her with a rope, put her in the stall, and threw her some grass." "Then you have acted stupidly, Hans; you should have looked at her with friendly eyes." "To behave better, do nothing," thought Hans; and then he went into the stall, and made sheep's eyes at Grethel. And after that Grethel became Hans's wife.
There you are mistaken excusably, but transcendently mistaken. I have undergone baptism by immersion. Awe takes care of me. Ask the little mother." "You don't reckon a hopeless love among your scrapes, then," said Deronda, whose voice seemed to get deeper as Hans's went higher.
He was a dangerous character, Hans thought, at least judging from his looks, and it was hardly safe for the young miss to be roaming about the fields at night as long as he was in the neighborhood. "Why don't you speak to the pastor, and have him arrested?" said Arnfinn, impatient of Hans's long-winded recital. "No, no, say nothing to father," demanded Augusta, eagerly.
I'll go and hang myself like Judas if it's allowable to mention him." Even in Hans's sorrowful moments, his improvised words had inevitably some drollery. But Mirah's anger was not appeased: how could it be? She had burst into indignant speech as creatures in intense pain bite and make their teeth meet even through their own flesh, by way of making their agony bearable.
I am giving up wine, so let me get a little drunk on hope and vanity." "With all my heart, if it will do you any good," said Deronda, loosing Hans's shoulder, with a little push. He made his tone kindly, but his words were from the lip only. As to his real feeling he was silenced.
