Then the echoes all croaked, till the whole region seemed to be full of ravens. "Are you sure you know the cove?" asked Erica, who wished to put an end to this sound, unwelcome to the superstitious. "Do not make that bird croak so; it will be quiet if you let it alone. Are you sure you can find the cove again?" "Quite sure. I wish I was as sure that Hund would not find it again before me.
On galloped the horse, but the wolves were soon crowding round again, with the blood freezing on their muzzles. It was easier to throw the second child than the first, and Hund did it. It was harder to give up the third the dumb infant that nestled to his breast, but Hund was in mortal terror; and a man beside himself with terror has all the cruelty of a pack of wolves.
"There! let her go!" cried Frolich, looking after Stiorna, as she walked away slowly, trailing her lure after her. "She may knit all her ill-humour into her stocking, if she likes, as Hund is to wear it, and that is better than putting it into our cheese. Erica," said the kind-hearted girl. "You are worth a hundred of her.
"That is in summer," pleaded Erica; "however, you have my secret, as you say, a thing which is no secret at home. We all think that Hund bears such a grudge against Rolf, for having got the houseman's place " "And for nothing else?" "That," continued Erica, "he would be glad to to " "To get rid of Rolf, and be a houseman, and get betrothed instead of him. Well: Hund is balked for this time.
I wish the good bishop would come: for I do not think M. Kollsen gives her any comfort. Look now! what can she have to say to Hund?" What Erica had to say to Hund was, "I believe some of the things you have told. I believe that you did not lay hands on Rolf." "Bless you!
"Thore's, Kyril's, Tank's!" repeated Hund to himself; "then there must be magic in the case. I could have sworn that not an eye on earth witnessed the doings there. If Rolf turns out to be the witness, I shall be certain that he has the powers of the region to help him."
Pull away." "How much farther is it?" "Farther than I like to think of. I doubt your arm holding out. I wish Rolf was here." Erica did not wish the same thing. She thought that Rolf was, on the whole, safer waging war with bears than with pirates; especially if Hund was among them.
Yet never did I see Hund more malicious than he was half an hour afterwards. I doubt whether any such fright would make a liar into a truthful man, in a moment." Erica now remembered and told the falsehood of Hund about what he was doing when the boat was spirited away: a falsehood told in the very midst of the humiliation and remorse she had described.
"They're going to pay it monthly; sixteen pounds thirteen shillings and fourpence a month. That's how he left it." "Two hund " began Mr. Gribble, forgetting himself. "Two hun Go and get my tea! If you think you're going to give yourself airs because your uncle's left you money, you won't do it in my house."
Stiorna praised this as a sign of bravery; but the truth was, the party had been met by Rolf and Jan, going down the mountain. It was no longer possible to take Rolf for a ghost: and, though Hund was as far as possible from understanding the matter, he was unspeakably relieved to find that he had not the death of his rival to answer for.
