"Yes," he answered; "these doings of Hellgum are driving me mad. They must be stopped!" "What must be stopped?" "You'll find out before long." Gertrude shrugged her shoulders. "Good-bye, Gertrude!" he said in a choking voice. "And remember what I tell you. You will never join the Hellgumists!" "What do you intend to do, Ingmar?" asked the girl, for she was beginning to feel uneasy.
"I suppose you've come to tell me that you have joined the Hellgumists?" Then Gertrude knelt down beside the bed and lifted his hand from his eyes. "There is something which you don't know, Ingmar," she whispered. He looked inquiringly at her, but did not speak. Gertrude blushed and hesitated. Finally she said: "Last year, just as you were leaving us, I had begun to care for you in the right way."
"Let us all join in singing number two hundred and forty-four." And the Hellgumists sang in unison, "Jerusalem, my happy home." Eva Gunnersdotter heaved a sigh of relief because the dreaded moment had been put off for a little. "Alack-a-day! that a doddering old woman like me should be so afraid to die," she thought, half ashamed of her weakness.
Everybody tried to dissuade the Hellgumists from going to Jerusalem. And toward the last, it seemed as though the very hills and vales echoed the plea, "Do not go! Do not go!" Even the country gentlemen did their best to get the peasants to abandon the idea.
It was as if burned into their eyes. And now they would never see it again. When the Hellgumists came to the middle of the bridge, they began to sing one of Sankey's hymns. "We shall meet once again," they sang, "we shall meet in that Eden above." There was no one on the bridge to hear them.
"This," he mused, "I write for the sake of my faith and my soul's salvation; for the sake of my dear friends the Hellgumists, that I may be allowed to live with them in the unity of the spirit, and so as not to be left alone here when they all go." And he wrote his first name.
In so doing, I acted wrongly, and that's why I've had to suffer all this. As I once forsook Christ, even so have I been forsaken by the one I loved." When Ingmar perceived that Gertrude was about to tell him that she was going with the Hellgumists, he at once showed signs of disapproval. "I can't bear to have her join these Jerusalem people, and go away to a strange land," he thought.
They don't think the same thoughts as do those of us who live in the solitude of the dark forest." She could see that the Hellgumists were uneasy because Halvor had called them together on a week day. They feared that he was going to tell them of more desertions from their ranks.
"She has the sweetest, the cheeriest, and most tuneful voice I have ever heard!" "About a week ago," Gertrude continued, "I left home intending to go straight on to Gothenburg, so as to be there when the Hellgumists arrive. The first night I stopped over at Bergsåna with a poor widow whose name it Marie Boving. That name I want you to remember Ingmar Marie Boving.
There was scarcely a person among them but had his or her own notion as to who it was. Tims Halvor thought it was old Eva Gunnersdotter. The strange cart accompanied them all the way, but not once did the woman draw the shawl back from her face. To some of the Hellgumists she became a person they loved, to others one they feared, but to most of them she was some one whom they had deserted.
