Ten minutes later Helga Strawn and her guide left the Bar L-M. During the long ride, although Dart seemed the most ingenuous of creatures, Helga Strawn obtained no satisfactory report of the news which he had brought and which had so obviously steeled Shandon's will. An hour before they came to the Echo Creek the snow ceased abruptly and it began to rain.
"When I marry, sir, I shall marry a woman like my mother: a woman with eyes as blue as heaven, and a face like a rose. I'll go, as you did, to Shetland for her." "There isna a house there fit for you to take a wife from, Colin, save and except the Earl's ain; and his daughter, the Lady Selina, is near thirty years old." "There are my second cousins, Helga and Saxa Vedder."
"Rosendal has its own charm," replied Helga; "there can be other places that have their singular beauty." "I am so glad that you say that," said Hardy. "You may even come to think that the place where my fathers have lived in England has its charm;" and he held her face in his hands, and looked into her eyes.
"He sees and appreciates what is good in us, and sympathizes with the stability of the Danish character, but he naturally values the broader thought in everyday life of the English people." "That is because he is an Englishman," retorted Helga. "You forget, Helga, that Herr Hardy is present," said her father, "and what you have said would pain him.
"Is it myself that I see reflected on the clear mirror?" exclaimed the daughter. And they approached one another, and embraced. The heart of the mother beat quickest, and she understood the quickening pulses. "My child! thou flower of my own heart! my lotos-flower of the deep waters!" And she embraced her child anew, and wept; and the tears were as a new baptism of life and love to Helga.
Eventually Ondott gave Bjorn his daughter Helga, and Bjorn then no longer went out to fight. Eyvind had taken over his father's ships and become a great chief in the western parts. He married Rafarta, the daughter of the Irish king Kjarval. Their sons were Helgi the Lean and Snaebjorn.
"Nay, but, Sigurd, tell me this, I do not care how you scold about my dress, tell me that you do not despise me for it, or for being unlike other maidens." Sigurd's grasp slipped from her shoulders down to her hands, and shook them warmly. "Despise you, Helga my sister? Despise you for being the bravest comrade and the truest friend a man ever had?" She grew rosy red with pleasure.
It was fortunate that John and Helga appeared, the latter laden with blooms gleaned in the valley of roses. Her face was bright with happiness. "Mrs. Hardy," she said, "John has persisted in picking rose after rose, holding them up to my cheek and telling me that I am the fairest rose, and that I am going to be the rose of Rosendal, and has teased me dreadfully."
"Thank you, Herr Hardy," said Helga; but her voice had a softer tone. "I wish," she added, after a pause, "you would sing to us the German song you sang once to my father." Hardy rose at once and did so. He looked round to ask if he should sing another song, when he saw Helga looking at him as a woman sometimes looks at the man to whom she has given her heart.
Karl said he wanted to go, too. There had been the long row up the lakes, the walks about Himmelbjerg, and even Frøken Helga looked hungry. As soon as they came to the restaurant, the waiter told them that breakfast was waiting for them. "Waiting for us!" said the Pastor; "it is more likely we shall have to wait for our breakfast."
