Again she apologised for keeping Irgens waiting. And Irgens rowed out. They talked about the sea, the far journeys, the strange countries; he had been abroad only in his dreams, and he supposed that would be the extent of his travellings. He looked sad and listless. Suddenly he said: "I hear you are not going to the country after all." "No. The Tidemands have changed their plans." "So I am told.
She said good-bye to Coldevin and left him. She seemed to be in a great hurry; she asked Irgens to pardon her for having kept him waiting, but she walked on rapidly. "Why this sudden haste?" he asked. "Oh, I must get home. What a nasty wind!" "Aagot!" She shot him a swift glance; his voice had trembled; she felt a warm glow throughout her being.
And she recounted merrily the climax. Norem had retired to a corner and was fast asleep. "Does anybody know the time?" asked Mrs. Paulsberg. "Don't ask me," said Gregersen, and fumbled at his vest pocket. "It is many a day since I carried a watch!" It turned out that it was one o'clock. About half-past one Mrs. Hanka and Irgens had disappeared.
She sniffed the pungent, pine-laden air, she looked at stones and flowers with a feeling of recognition; memories from home surged through her, and she was for an instant on the verge of tears. "But here are other people!" she exclaimed suddenly. Irgens laughed: "What did you expect? This is not a jungle, exactly." They explored the island thoroughly, saw the changing views, and had refreshments.
"I have never heard anything like it!" "Now, no personalities!" warned the Journalist. "Yes, but excuse me why in the world did he send it to you, Ole?" asks Milde again and does not give in. Irgens glanced at Aagot. She did not appear to be listening, but was talking eagerly with Mrs. Hanka.
Of course, he had thought of her, too, that was true; but then he had been mistaken thank God for that! He had simply wanted to warn her. She was so young; he, who was older, knew better from where danger threatened. But now she must forget it and be cheerful. They continued to speak. Irgens grew impatient and rose. He stretched himself and yawned as if to indicate that he was going.
It is different if you see it That was an awful strong wine; it makes my head swim And all those cigarettes!" "Drive on, damn you!" cried Irgens. And the carriage rolled off. Ole stood there and stared after the carriage; his knees shook under him. He fumbled convulsively with his hands up and down his clothes, around his chest. So that was Aagot!
Coldevin stood immovable behind a corner and showed only his head. When he saw Tidemand coming straight toward him he stepped out in the street and bowed. Tidemand looked up abstractedly. And Coldevin asked: "Pardon me, isn't this Mr. Irgens I see down there that gentleman in grey?" "Where? Oh, yes, it looks like him," answered Tidemand indifferently.
Don't argue with him. He knew what he was talking about. Ho! business morals! The rottenest morals on earth.... Meanwhile the Attorney was talking across the table to Irgens and Miss Aagot. He told them how he had come across Coldevin. "I ran across him a moment ago up your way, Irgens, in Thranes Road, right below your windows. I brought him along. I couldn't let the fellow stand there alone "
"Now, no nonsense! Are you going to take me to dinner?" "May I be permitted to shake hands first?" It was finally arranged that they should take a run up to Irgens's rooms to sample the brandy, after which they were to return to the Grand for dinner. Tidemand and the Attorney walked ahead. "It is a good thing that we have these peddlers to fall back on," said Milde to Irgens.
