At last, one day as he stood looking at the window of a bookseller's shop, he heard a voice behind him: "Why, bless me! surely it's Peer Holm!" It was one of his fellow-students at the Technical College, Reidar Langberg, pale and thin now as ever. He had been a shining light at the College, but now now he looked shabby, worn and aged.
"I was over at Clestron yestreen, and they were telling me that just as Harry was slipping round into the Bay of Houton, thinking, no doubt, that everything was clear for the landin' o' his cargo, the revenue boat came out from behind the Holm, like a hawk on a ferret.
The chief was listening with half-closed eyes. He saw new trouble for himself and was not cheerful. "Do you know how many men Holm has with him at the Forza camp?" "A score and a half. Some of my people passed that way yesterday, when the soldiers were parading." "And there are two more camps? "There are two beyond the Nazri Pass, on the fringe of the Doorab hills.
All next day Gibson's masons waited for their building material in Wilson's holm. But none came. And all day seven of Gourlay's horses champed idly in their stalls. Barbie had a weekly market now, and, as it happened, that was the day it fell on.
They were dancing the quadrille. The music began, and the couples bowed and marched past each other. The mail clerk called the figures, and he did so, by heaven, in French, and brought out the nasal sounds in an incomparably distinguished fashion. Ingeborg Holm was dancing right in front of Tonio Kröger, in the set just next to the door.
His friend tried to force a laugh, but it came hard. "Nay, rather seek a sword for Liot Skulison, for I see we are nearing the holm." "I had forgotten Liot," said Estein. "We will loose his bonds, and let him choose his weapons." He found Liot sitting in the waist bound hand and foot. His eye was as firm as if he had been in his own hall, and he looked up indifferently as Estein approached.
Here was a clear piece of work for him. And even if it was fruitless it would bring him nearer to the frontier; his expedition to the north would be begun. "Let me go," he said. "I came out here to explore the hills and I take all risks on my own head. I can give them Marker's message as well as anybody else." Thwaite looked at Holm. "I don't see why he shouldn't.
As they turned down the holm, the path, as far as the eye could reach, was sprinkled with men and women, dressed in the usual costume of the country, which consists of a woollen plaid, of a black and white small checked pattern, very simply thrown round the women's shoulders, as a scarf. The men wear it over the right shoulder only, and tied loosely under the left arm.
There are two inches on it of pure fat, softer than marrow. He was fed upon holm acorns, I’ll be sworn, and sweet chesnuts, and caught in a mild south wind!" "Fewer words, you scoundrel," exclaimed Catiline, laughing at the fellow’s volubility, "and quicker carving, if you wish not to visit the pistrinum.
Olaf himself joined always in their feasts and revels, and he was ever the merriest and gamesomest in the company. One day while his ships were still at Borgund holm, his two chief men, Kolbiorn and Thorgils, were boasting of their skill at climbing. They contended as to who could climb the steepest rock, and at last they made a bet.
