He went out occasionally, of course; but he spent most of his time at home. Where in the world could he go? He went nowhere. Pause. Finally she yielded abjectly to her fears and stammered: "Well, Irgens, I am yours now, entirely yours! I am going to leave the house You will thank me, won't you? It will take three years, of course, but then "
She talked with Irgens on the way back and seemed as pleased as before; she gave him her hand at the door and thanked him, thanked him twice. He begged her forgiveness because he had been responsible for her failure to view the sculptures thoroughly, and she smiled amiably and said that she had had a good time. "I shall see you later at Tivoli," said Irgens.
Suddenly Ole Henriksen and Aagot came out of the warehouse and caught sight of him. "Good day, good day, Irgens!" called Ole with outstretched hand. "Glad to see you. I want to thank you for the book you sent us. You are a wonder; you surprise your very best friends even poet, master!"
She said slowly: "But surely it cannot all be over, Irgens? Remember, I have sacrificed a great deal " But he shook his head. "Yes, I am awfully sorry, but Do you know what I was thinking of just now when I didn't answer you? You said 'irrevocably over. I was wondering if that was proper grammar, if it sounded right.
And when Parliament heard that quavering voice it grew palsied with fear. No, he, Irgens, should have been in Parliament! How manly and proudly he spoke!

He was not tortured by curiosity; people knew fortunately that he was quite indifferent to public opinion. But anyhow was it Paulsberg? No, it was not Paulsberg.
"Yes," she said, "I am busy nowadays. I am going home soon." "You are?" he asked quickly and stopped. "Yes. I am coming back, though." Irgens had become thoughtful. "I am afraid it is blowing a little too hard, after all," he said. "We can hardly hear ourselves think. Suppose we go to the Castle Park? I know a certain place " "As you like," she said.

His door was locked, and it was not opened when she knocked; consequently he must be out. She did not meet him in his usual haunts, either. Finally she had to write to him and make an appointment; she wrote that she had excellent news for him.
"I suppose you can look her up. I won't go home with you, but I can walk with you a few moments." They walked on. Aagot was quiet now. "I said I have thought of it all night," she continued. "Of course, not all night. All day, I meant. Not all the time, I mean You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Married ladies! You don't defend yourself very warmly, Irgens." "What is the use?"
