It might be added that Catholicism died with difficulty in Denmark, many peasants as well as high churchmen resented the changes, and Helgesen, the foremost Scandinavian scholar and humanist of the time, protested vigorously against the new order. But the crown was growing powerful, and the crown prevailed.
Helene and her companion had crossed to the other side of the hill, for he positively must see the "Buckthorn Swamp"; but when they got down there he did not know it again: it was covered by luxuriant woods. "Yes! It is old Helgesen who deserves the credit of that," she said. "He noticed that an artificial embankment had converted this great flat into a swamp, so he cut through it.
Be that as it may, the leading humanists of Europe More in England, Helgesen in Denmark, and Erasmus himself remained Catholic. And while many of the sixteenth-century humanists of Italy grew skeptical regarding all religion, their country, as we have seen, did not become Protestant but adhered to the Roman Church.
"Neither have I," said another, "because we all thought the same thing, but now we're going to settle some money on this son of a maiden!" A collection was taken up, with Helgesen as the cashier. Then Bengt hailed a cab, invited the girl to enter, and got in after her. "Go ahead I want to go to Langes Street!" he called to the driver.
They talked more with her; she was thin and young, evidently a servant girl. They also looked at the child, and Helgesen and Lind, who were both short-sighted, polished their glasses and inspected it carefully. "Are you going off to drown the child?" somebody says. "No," says the girl in confusion. That was a nasty question, all the others agreed, and the first one admitted it.
