She was in love with the silent Jens, and was extremely jealous, without the slightest cause. It was said that these two would make a match when he had been on two or three more fishing expeditions, but the matter was not officially announced at any rate, I think because Jens made a passive resistance as long as he could, and never actually proposed to her.
As soon as the report went around Rönne that they had come, Burgomaster Klaus Kam went to them openly. The governor had ridden to the house of the other burgomaster, Per Larssön, who was not in the plot. His horse was tied outside and he just sitting down to supper when Jens Kofoed and his band crowded into the room, and took him prisoner.
"But perhaps the rat-catcher or the new cat has caught her?" "No," said the house-mouse. "She escaped; and so did most of her children. And they have multiplied in such a way that you simply can't turn for rats, Jens says." "Then, you'll see, they will forget you all right," said the wood-mouse, "if only you are careful and discreet." "Jens will forget me, perhaps," said the house-mouse, sadly.
A finer bridge no one had ever seen. But he had to sell the shirt off his body in order to meet his engagements. He lived at that time in a pretty little house that was his own property. It lay out on the eastern highway, and had a turret on the mansard Jens and Morten had spent their early childhood there.
He had joined that church and was an active member in it. The wife and some of the children were devout believers. They indulged in long family prayers and much scriptural reading. This branch of the Bogstad family called the wealthy farmer and his children a "godless lot." Uncle Jens' oldest daughter, one about Henrik's own age, did not live at home, therefore he did not see her.
This six or twelve months' training means a hard rough time for young men accustomed to a refined home, but it has a pleasant side in the sympathy and friendship of comrades. The generality of conscripts do not love their soldiering days, and look upon them as something to be got over, like the measles! "Jens" is the Danish equivalent for "Tommy Atkins," and "Hans" is the "Jack Tar" of Denmark.
He stood and turned something over in his mind before he ventured on saying it. "Fine weather! Ahem! I ought to pay my landlady today; you wouldn't be so kind as to lend me five shillings, would you? Only for a few days, sir. You did me a service once before, so you did." "No; I really can't do it, Jens Olaj," I answered.
"Ah, now it's too late!" lamented the mother reproachfully. "Why didn't you go sooner?" A monstrous breathing sounded outside, like the breathing of a gigantic beast, sniffing up and down at the crack of the door, and fumbling after the latch with its dripping paws. Jens wanted to run and open the door. "No, you mustn't do that!" cried his mother despairingly, and she pushed the bolt.
But Pelle had remarked what work each was supposed to have in hand, and would run over it all. "What day's this Thursday? Damnation take it! Tell that Jens he's to put aside Manna's uppers and begin on the pilot's boots this moment they were promised for last Monday."
His father was a physician and apothecary. He was musical, as were several other members of his family, and little Ole's love for music was fostered to a great degree at home by the Tuesday quartet meetings, at which his Uncle Jens played the 'cello.
