And father and son drive off. Andresen watches them from the door of the shop and wishes a pleasant journey. Isak is all thought for his boy, and would give him the seat to himself; but Eleseus will have none of that, and 'sits up by his side. They come to Breidablik, and suddenly Eleseus has forgotten something. "Ptro! What is it?" asks his father. Oh, his umbrella!
Are you afraid of water? it won't bite you!" In the end, Inger washes the patient herself, and throws her a towel. "What I was going to say," says Oline, wiping herself, and quite peaceable now. "About Isak and the children how will they get over this?" "Does he know?" asks Inger. "Know? He came and saw it." "What did he say?" "What could he say? He was speechless, same as me." Silence.
"Now that Oline is come, I can go off tomorrow morning, first thing." Inger was grateful, and thanked him. "And take your money with you," she said "all you have in the place." "Why, can't you keep the money here?" "No," said she. Inger made up a big parcel of food at once, and Isak woke while it was yet night, and got ready to start.
Very wide awake to look at, glancing round at the place, at the land, turning his head and using his eyes every way. There are great changes to note; the Margrave had extended his domains. And Geissler nods. "What's that you're carrying?" he asks Isak. "'Tis a load for one horse in itself," says he. "'Tis for a forge," explains Isak.
And speaking as carelessly as he could, he asked, "Where d'you get her?" "Her name's Goldenhorns. What's that wall to be for you've been building up here? You'll work yourself to death, you will. Oh, come and look at the cow, now, won't you?" They went out to look, and Isak was in his underclothes, but that was no matter.
"Only she'd have been just a year now, and able to see it all." "Ay, but you know how it was with her," said Isak, for comfort's sake. "And after all, it may be we'll get off easier than we thought. I've found out where Geissler is now." Inger looked up. "But how's that going to help us?" "I don't know...." Then Isak carried his corn to the mill and had it ground, and brought back flour.
He had been looking forward to Inger's delight when she saw it; now, Eleseus and Sivert played with it, and it was a joy to them. And Isak, watching them, forgot his trouble for the moment. Moreover, Oline had a message from the Lensmand; the State had at last given its decision in the matter of the land at Sellanraa. Isak had only to go down to the office and pay the amount.
She had her brothers' features, the brown eyes and oval cheeks that all had got from their mother; ay, they were their mother's children, and well that they were so! Isak was something shy of his little girl, shy of her tiny shoes and long, thin, woollen stockings and short frock; when she had come to meet her strange papa she had curtseyed and offered him a tiny hand.
Oline falls to praising the children, so fine and big they've grown; and Isak taking over more ground, and going to build again, by the look of things there's no end to things with them; a wonderful place, and hard to find its like. "And what is he going to build this time?" "Ask him yourself," says Inger. "I don't know." "Nay," says Oline. "'Tis no business of mine.
"She'll be coming home, and learned everything of sorts. And beads and feathers in her hat, maybe?" "Ay, that may be." "Ay," said Oline; "and she can thank me a little for all the way she's grown so fine and grand." "You?" asked Isak. It slipped out. Oline answered humbly: "Ay, since 'twas my modest doing that she ever went away."
