For days before they came Ditte would be busy making preparations: setting out milk for cream to have with the coffee, and buying in all they could afford.
"Ay, if I'm to go alone. But you might go with me! 'Tisn't a pleasant errand, and the time'll go slowly all that long way. And one can't get away from sad thoughts!"
