And at this the store took to whirling curiously round and round; the counter and the people in the shop were suddenly far away. Isak felt rather than heard himself saying, "Herregud!" and "Praise and thanks to God." "She might be here no later than tomorrow the day," said the storekeeper, "if so be she's left Trondhjem in time." "Ho!" said Isak. He waited till the next day.
There was a curious noise inside.... A child crying Eyah, Herregud!... Well, there it was; but a terrible strange thing. And Inger had never said a word.
He had put on those spectacles time and again that day to study the instructions, without making out a word; Eleseus had to help him with that. Eyah, Herregud, 'twas a good thing, no doubt, to be book-learned. And, by way of humbling himself, Isak determines to give up his plan of making Eleseus a tiller of soil in the wilds; he will never say a word of it again.
My hands felt helpless; a sweet cold went through my wrists. Herregud! I thought to myself, here am I with my limbs hanging helpless for joy; I cannot even clench my hands; I can only find tears in my eyes for my own helplessness. What is to be done about it? It was late in the evening when I reached home.
And we went each our separate way. I thought to myself: a sister of his, perhaps, that had gone wrong, and he'd been home and followed her to the grave. Herregud! there are some that never get over it; it shakes them to their foundations; a revolution. All depends on whether they're coarse enough. Only the mark of a bruise, said Nils.
Time has passed, the two last years had been long; there had been much that was good at Sellanraa, and a deal that was not eyah, Herregud! And now here was another man clearing ground in the wilds. Isak knew the place well; it was one of the kindlier spots he had noted himself on his way up, but he had gone on farther.
She listened with such attention that it made her look ugly; she forgot to hold her lips together. There she stood with the kerchief in her hand a white silk kerchief which she had taken from her neck. I tore off my jacket in turn. "For Heaven's sake put it on again," she cried. "Don't do that! Are you so angry with me? Herregud! put your jacket on, do, before you get wet through."
The shower made no difference to the potato crop, and days came and went; the sky was blue. Isak set to work on his timber sledge, worked hard at it, and bowed his heart, and planed away humbly at runners and shafts. Eyah, Herregud! Ay, the days came and went, and the child grew.
One day he and his will gather together and set off for somewhere else, many parishes away, to study a new collection of humans there and in the aspen grove never a finch to be seen. And it may be a whole week before a new flock of this winged life appears and settles in the same place.... Herregud! how many a time have I watched the finches in their doings, and found pleasure in all.
