Here was a bad omen already, on the very day of her betrothment; and she saw that Hund thought so; for there was a gloomy satisfaction in his eye, as he sat silently watching all that passed. She could not help being glad that Oddo renewed his request to be allowed to carry out Nipen's cake and ale.
Hund was to follow immediately, either to take his trial with them, or to appear as evidence against them. One of the pirates was wounded, and two of the country-people; but not a life was lost; and Erlingsen, Rolf, Peder, and Oddo were all safe and unhurt.
"I am more sorry for him than you are, I see," said Rolf, brightening when he found how entirely Hund had been absent from her thoughts. "I am more sorry for Hund than you are: and with good reason, for I know what the happiness is that he has missed, poor fellow! But yet I think you might feel a little more for him. It would show that you know how to value love."
Look how the stupid, stupid fellow is holding Skippy! All the blood will rush into his poor little head. The dog, the dog; you foolish fellow; the d-o-g, dog! I can't make him understand. Please tell him, Mr. Pinac." "Hund hund!" shouted Fico to Poons. "Le chien Le chien! Idiot, stupid!" said Pinac.
It seemed to them as if those calm and clear waters had swallowed up the skiff and Rolf in the few minutes after they had lost sight of him. Hund thought the case was accounted for when he recalled Nipen's displeasure. A thrill ran through him as he said to himself that the spirits of the region had joined with him against Rolf, and swallowed up, almost before his eyes, the man he hated.
When all was to her mind, she begged Erica to step over, and inform Olaf that she was ready. When Erica opened the door, she instantly drew back, and shut it again. "What now?" asked Frolich. "Are all the bears in the porch?" "Olaf is there," replied Erica, in a whisper, "talking with Hund."
Frau Knapf was muttering: "Du Hund! Du unverschamter Hund du!" in good Billingsgate German, and wiping her eyes with her apron. And I dressed with trembling fingers because I dared not otherwise face the brave little Austrian, the plucky little aborigine who, with the donning of the new Amerikanische gown had acquired some real Amerikanisch nerve.
"And what business can he have among the islands?" "I could say that with more certainty if I knew exactly where the pirate-vessel is." "That is your idea, Erica," said her mistress. "I saw what your thoughts were, an hour ago, before we knew all this." "I was thinking then, madam, that if Hund was gone to join the pirates, Nipen would be very ready to give them a wind just now.
There is not a boat that could put off, there is not an eye or an ear that could bear witness what had become of you, if you and Hund should meet there." "If Hund and I should meet there, I would bring him home, to settle what should become of him." "And all the pirates? You would bring them all in your right hand, and row home with your left! For shame, Rolf, to be such a boaster!
"Will no penitence change your feelings, Erica? I tell you I am as miserable as you." "That is false, like everything else that you say," cried Erica. "I wish you would go, go and seek Rolf under the waters " Hund shuddered at the thought, as it recalled what he had seen and heard at the islet.
