"Has the Hamburg steamer started?" "No, sir, but the first bell has just rung," was the answer. "Have you any gold?" "Yes; that is to say, not very much," answered the cashier. "Let me have what you have got, and send Thomas over to the bank for some more. A couple of thousand kroner or so will do." The boy ran off with a bundle of notes and a little canvas bag.
As it was, he paled, and answered coldly: "I don't wish to make any suggestion as to what you, gentlemen, may be in a position to pay but I know what I am willing to accept and what not. I've no use for more child's prattle about the mine. My price is the same as yesterday." "A quarter of a million Kroner?" "Yes." The gentlemen mounted their horses."
Who could fail to be warmed by her? Now the room is warm once more. Hanne is like a blazing meteor that kindles all as it circles round; where she glides past the fire springs up and the blood runs warmly in the veins. They overturn the chairs in their eagerness to dance with her. "Hi, steward! Five kroner on my watch only be quick!" "Ach, Hanne, a dance with me!"
Isn't it their father and mother had borne them under their breast first of all, and sweating blood to keep the life in them all their tender years? And then to forget it all!" It almost seemed as if Helge had heard that speech of his father's, for there came a letter from him after with money in fifty Kroner, no less.
However things might be, Monsen was the great man, now as always and he gave a thousand kroner out of his own pocket for the help of the needy. Many eyes gazed out over the sea, but the men with the ice-boat did not come back; the mysterious "over yonder" had swallowed them.
Enrico was ordered out as lieutenant, and put on the shoulder-straps joyfully, to the great scandal of his godfather in Milan, who sympathized with the German cause. When the young soldier refused to resign he not only cut him off in his will, but took away a pension of four hundred kroner he had given his mother in her widowhood.
We have used four million kroner in waging the war, and twenty millions have been wasted because they brought the work of our hands to a standstill! We come from the darkness, and we go toward the light, and no one can hold us back! Behind us lie hunger and poverty, ignorance and slavery, and before us lies a happy existence, radiant with the rising sun of Freedom!

Only he took in too much at a time; he was one of those people who rake away fiercely all the morning and have tired themselves out before midday.

I think I shall break a lot of stone when the winter comes; the stone must be got out of the way, and it isn't so bad to earn a few hundred kroner.
Not like the Inspector, that weighed and counted every miserable Skilling, and then, as true as God's in heaven, go and take off two Kroner that he'd given as clear as could be ... ugh! He, Grindhusen, was not the man to make a fuss about a wretched two Kroner, as long as it was a matter of any sense or reason, but to go and take it off like that fy Fan!
