Come and help me, you fellows; I can't get the man inside!" But when Coldevin saw who were present he wrenched himself free quickly and disappeared. He had visited Ole Henriksen one morning according to his promise, but he had vanished since then and nobody had seen him until now. The Attorney said: "I discovered him outside; I had pity on the poor man, he seemed so altogether alone, and I "
He had to assist Ole's father for a while; the old man did not want to retire, but he made the chief assistant his partner and carried on the business as before; he did not allow his sorrow to break him down. Old man Henriksen proved that he was not too old to work when circumstances required it. And Tidemand was unceasing in his efforts.
That would be just the thing. He had no intention of avoiding people. He had a revolver lying in a desk drawer; but had he wanted to use that, even for the briefest moment? Had he thought of it even? Not at all. It just occurred to him now that it might be getting rusty. No, thank God! one was not exactly weary of life.... Ole Henriksen went to the Grand.
His eyes were almost in a direct line with the little office window at the end of Henriksen's warehouse; he stared unblinkingly and apparently unseeingly at that particular spot. Irgens was on the point of going over in order to inquire if he perhaps wanted to see Ole Henriksen; he would then be able to turn the conversation to his book and get the old man to express an opinion.
When he got up to leave he asked casually: "By the way, do you happen to know where Mr. Henriksen went?" "To the telegraph office. He told me he had some wires to send." "Thank you. I trust you will pardon me for descending upon you so informally. It is kind of you to allow me to make your acquaintance." "If you are going to stay awhile I trust we shall meet again," said the Attorney amiably.
The grain had begun to arrive and was being stored in his warehouses, thousands upon thousands of sacks. They grew into mountains; there was no room for anything else; even Ole Henriksen had been obliged to let him have space for storing. Tidemand walked around and viewed this wealth with pride; even he had accomplished something above the ordinary.
Ole Henriksen looked a little overworked. He had not sufficient help; when he went to England that autumn he would have to give his head assistant power of attorney and leave everything to him. Since Aagot came Ole's work had been only fun; but now she was a little indisposed and had kept up-stairs for a couple of days. Ole missed her.
How much was the yacht worth, did Mr. Henriksen think? Irgens had come to him with a request that he take charge of this transaction; he had said that he needed some money at once, and of course one had to stretch a point where a man like Irgens was concerned.
