Placing her hand on his arm, she said: "Stop, Ingmar, and let me bind up your wound!" He shook off her hand and went ahead like a blind man, following neither road nor bypath. The blood from his open wound trickled down underneath his clothes into one of his shoes. With every step that he made, blood was pressed out of the shoe, leaving a red track on the ground.
He need only let the cold continue and keep the ground covered with snow. But when our Lord allows the spring and the flowers to return, He must at least think us fit to live." When Mother Stina finally reached the Ingmar Farm she halted and glanced round timidly. "I think I'll go back," she said to herself. "I could never standby and see this dear old home broken up."
"What amuses you, Ingmar?" "I'm thinking of how we sneaked out of church, and of the kind of welcome we got at the Ingmar Farm." "And you can laugh at that?" "Why not as well laugh? I suppose we'll have to take to the road, like tramps. Wonder what father would say to that?" "You may laugh, Ingmar, but this can't be; it can't be."
"I never dreamed in the days when I was a poor goose boy on this place that some time it would be in my power to arrange for an Ingmar Ingmarsson to come back to the Ingmar Farm!" The pastor and the other men all stood staring at the judge in dumb amazement, not grasping at first what was meant. Karin left the room at once.
When they came to Lövberg's place, Ingmar said that his horse was now thoroughly rested, and if she had no objection they might as well cover the first few stations that day. Then she thought: "Now is the time to tell him that you won't go. Thank him first, then tell him that you don't want to go with him." She prayed God that she might be shown if he had come for her only out of pity.
The prison stood on high ground, and beyond the town and the stretches of forest she could see her native hills. Suddenly she seemed to be shaken by some unseen force; she covered her face with her hands and sank down upon the stone step. Ingmar could hear her sobs from where he stood. Presently he went over to her, and waited.
He finally ended with these words: "I know perfectly well that if the corporation is fully determined to buy the Ingmar Farm, it can go on bidding against the farmers until they are forced to give up; but if Karin and Halvor want to prevent this old place from becoming a ruined corporation property, they will have to settle on a price, so that the farmers may know what to be guided by."
Think how they'll be going around bragging that they've got a cow of the old breed from the Ingmar Farm!" When she saw old Crofter Nils trying to choose a plow she smiled a little scornfully. "Crofter Nils will think himself a real farmer when he can drive a plough that Big Ingmar himself has used." More and more people kept gathering round the things to be auctioned off.
Therefore, father said as soon as he saw me: 'I'm afraid you'll have to go home alone, little Ingmar. I can't leave Strong Ingmar with all this work. Strong Ingmar walked along the side of the heap where the smoke rose thickest. 'You can go, Big Ingmar, he said. 'I've managed worse things than this. In a little while the smoke grew less.
It wasn't so certain that you would care to come back with me." She noticed that he said nothing about wanting her to come, but maybe it was because he did not wish to force himself upon her a second time. She grew very reluctant. It couldn't be an enviable task to take one of her kind to the Ingmar Farm.
