This was all said in such a good-humored tone that even a stranger could not have felt himself offended. The Kammerjunker was in the fields looking after his flax; he would soon be back. Squire Wilhelm could in the mean time conduct Mr. Thostrup about the premises: "he would otherwise have nothing to do," said she. No one must remain in the sitting-room; it was so gloomy there!
"O God!" said she, "hear what they are calling to us!" Otto glanced around, but saw no cows. "They are standing still!" said Sophie; "call once again!" The Kammerjunker shouted as before, and Sophie imitated the lowing of the cows. At this noise the young cattle arose. Louise now became aware of them. "O heavens!" exclaimed she; "there, down in the corner of the inclosure, are all the cows!"
He has sinews like steel springs, and legs like a dancing-master! He is my own brown." "No one knows that we are coming," answered Wilhelm. "We shall, therefore, take a carriage from Nyborg." "We will join company," said the Kammerjunker, "and then you will pay me a visit with the young gentleman. You shall sleep in the black chamber! Yes, you will give me the pleasure?" said he to Otto.
Otto and Wilhelm have been two months away. It is the autumn of 1832. The marriage of the Kammerjunker and Sophie was deferred, according to her wish, until the second of April, because this day is immortal in the annals of Denmark. In the house, where there now were only the mother, Louise, and Eva, all was quiet.
The city crier, in striped linsey-woolsey jacket and breeches, and with a yellow band across his shoulders, stood there, beat upon his drum, and proclaimed aloud from a written paper many wonderful things which were to be seen in the city. "He beats a good drum," said the Kammerjunker. "It would certainly delight Rossini and Spontini to hear the fellow!" said Wilhelm.
"You will come one of the first days to me!" said the Kammerjunker; "you shall try my Russian steam-bath: I have erected one upon my estate. All who visit me, ladies and gentlemen without any exception, must try it!" "And do the cherry-trees bear well this year?" asked Wilhelm. "No, no," answered the Kammerjunker, "they are good for nothing; but the apples are good!
The Kammerjunker turned the name of Fergus to Gusseman, and Jacoba asserted that it was a dog's name. "Now you shall see my little bumpkin!" said he, and brought in a square-built child, who with fat, red cheeks, and round arms, stared around him. "That is a strong fellow! Here is something to take hold of! Tralla-ralla-ralla!" And he danced him round the room.
Jakoba is paying visits, drinking chocolate, and eating biscuits. Mamsell is out taking a view of things. Now you know our story." The ladies went to their chamber, the gentlemen remained in the saloon. "Yes, here you shall see a city and a fair, Mr. Thostrup!" said the Kammerjunker, and slapped Otto on the shoulder. "Odense was at one time my principal chief-city," said Wilhelm; "and still St.
"They were, God help me, only calves!" answered the Kammerjunker; "they wished to play, and only ran because you ran!" "It was a foolish joke of mine!" said Sophie, and seized Eva's hand. "I am very unhappy about it!" "O no!" said Eva, and smiled so pensively, yet happily. "To-morrow I shall be quite well again!" Her eye seemed to seek some one. Otto understood the glance.
They sewed me lately live cockchafers into my pillow, and they crawled and scrambled about till I did not know what the deuce it could be! A live cock they had also placed under my bed, and just in the morning, when I would go to sleep, the creature began to crow!" "The women-folk had done that," said the Kammerjunker. "Did they not the very same night fasten a door-bell to the head of my bed?
