I want you to do me a great favour. I'd arranged to go to the seaside this summer, but I've a chance of going up to the hills, too. Well, I can't be in two places at once couldn't you take on one of them for me? Of course I'd pay all expenses." "No, thank you!" said Peer, with a laugh. But when Klaus Brock came just before leaving and said: "See here, Peer.
Therefore it makes it much shorter if one comes on the land and drives across the field to the river. Thus I have spared myself quite half a mile, and have come much quicker to my sea-cattle! 'Oh, you're a lucky fellow! said Big Klaus. 'Do you think I should also get some cattle if I went to the bottom of the river? 'Oh, yes! I think so, said Little Klaus.
In ten minutes my father was seated on the box and we ladies inside, receiving the good wishes of Klaus, of the landlord, the men and the maids, now all smiles and curtsies, and with the postilion blowing triumphantly his horn we dashed out of the quaint, dreamy little cathedral town of Brixen.
Pereira and Klaus proceeded on foot till they came to a great river, on the banks of which they met some Kaffirs, who appear to have been Zulus on outpost duty.
"Yes, he's an able fellow, is Ferdinand." It took Langberg some time to get his breath again. At last he asked, with a sidelong glance: "And you and Klaus Brock I suppose you've put your millions in his company?" Peer smiled as he sat looking out over the garden.

My name's Holm, and I'm called so after my father's farm. Just remember that, will you?" "Oh, all right. Don't excite yourself."

A few weeks later a boy stood by the yard gate of an engineering works in the town just as the bell was ringing and the men came streaming out, and asked for Klaus Brock. "Hullo, Peer that you? Been to Lofoten and made your fortune?"
'Oh! said Little Klaus, 'that was just so politic of me. You heard what I told you, that the sea-maiden said to me a mile farther along the road and by the road she meant the river, for she can go by no other way there was another herd of cattle waiting for me. But I know what windings the river makes, now here, now there, so that it is a long way round.
It is derogatory to your dignity, and dangerous to my modicum of humility. As soon as you are ready for breakfast, come to the dining-room, where Santa Klaus left his remembrances last night. O, Leighton! I had half a mind to hang up two stockings at uncle's bed, for the sake of dear old lang syne.
The sun shone brightly, and all the bells in the church-towers were pealing; the people were dressed in their best clothes, and were going to church, with their hymn books under their arms, to hear the minister preach. They saw Little Klaus ploughing with the five horses; but he was so happy that he kept on cracking his whip, and calling out 'Gee-up, my five horses!
