At the bishop's question about who would go down the mountain for news, each of Hund's guards begged to be the man. The swiftest of foot was chosen; and off he went, not without a barley-cake and brandy-flask, at a pace which promised speedy tidings.

The next morning early, when the yacht sailed, a handkerchief was waved from the drawing-room window in the parsonage, and, in answer, a glazed hat was lifted on board. On a naze to the north of Hind Island in Sengen lies Trondenæs church and parsonage. The latter was a royal palace in Saint Olaf's time, and Thore Hund's brother Siver lived there.

Had we not better fix some place, far away from Hund's eyes and thoughts, for my master and Rolf to have their talk; and then I will guide my master " "Guide your master," cried Rolf, laughing, "when your master knew every rock and every track in the country years enough before you were born!" "You did not let me finish," said Oddo.

He said he thought a part of Hund's business with the bishop would be to get him to disenchant the fiord, so that boats might not be spirited away almost before men's eyes; and that a rower and his skiff might not sink like lead one day, and the man be heard the second day, and seen the third, so that there was no satisfactory knowledge as to whether he was really dead.

He amused himself now with imagining Hund's disappointment, and the reports which would arise from it; and he found this so very entertaining that he laughed aloud; and then the echo of his laughter sounded so very merry that it set him laughing again.

Erlingsen thinks he must meet with mercy, for that none need mercy so much as the weak; and Hund's act was an act of weakness." "Weakness!" cried Erica, with disgust. "He is a coward, my dear; and death stared him in the face." "I have often wondered," said Erica, "where on the face of the earth that wretch was wandering: and it is Hund!

He felt irresistibly drawn towards poor Erica, now that no rival was there; and if, mixed with all these considerations, there were some thoughts of the situation of houseman being vacant, and needing much to be filled up, it is no wonder that such a mingling of motives took place in a mind so selfish as Hund's.

But if they were quiet for a minute, the knock, knock, was heard again, with great regularity, and every knock went to Hund's heart. The fact was, that after breakfast, Rolf soon became tired of having nothing to do. The water was so very cold, that he deferred till noon the attempt to swim round the islet.

But they saw it in the form of a light cloud hanging over the place. Hund's eyes were fixed upon it, when one of his comrades touched him on the shoulder. Hund started. "You see there," said the man, pointing. "To be sure I do; what else was I looking at?" "Well, what is it?" inquired the man. "Has your friend got a visitor, come a great way this morning?

So Rolf worked away, with a cheerful heart, as the days grew longer, now mending the boat, now fishing, now ploughing, and then rolling logs into the melting-streams, to be carried down into the river, or into the fiord, when the rush of waters should come from the heights of Sulitelma. Hard as Rolf worked, he did not toil like Oddo. Between them, they had to supply Hund's place, to do his work.
