Albert is good enough when he's at home on a visit; last time he gave us ten krones and a krone to each of the children. But when they're out, you know how the money goes if they don't want to look mean beside their companions. Anna's one of those who can spend all they get on clothes.
Could it be true that he had spent five hundred krones in drinking and amusement in one evening? "The war is raging, the red blood streams, Among the mountains ring shouts and screams! The Turk advances with cruel rage, And sparing neither youth nor age. They go " "Ho!" Pelle sprang to his feet and gazed up over the clover field.
You won't get such an offer every day." Pelle thought a hundred krones was a fearful amount of money; Lasse, on the contrary, as the older and more sensible, had a feeling that it was far too little. But, though he was not aware of it yet, the experiences of the morning had considerably dimmed the brightness of his outlook on life.
"Then I suppose he's to be foreman?" he said, flicking at Pelle with his whip. "Yes, he certainly will be some day," said Lasse, with conviction. "He'll probably eat a few bushels of salt first. Well, I'm in want of a herdsman, and will give you a hundred krones for a year although it'll be confounded hard for you to earn them from what I can see.

He bent his fingers backward and moved his ears; he could move them forward in a listening position like a horse. All this irritated Pelle intensely. Suddenly he stopped. "Won't you give me the half-krone, then? You shall have ten krones when I grow up." Rud collected money he was avaricious already and had a whole boxful of coins that he had stolen from his mother. Pelle considered a little.
It'll be a comfort to think they'll have a happy day out of it, for they don't have too many holidays; and there's money for it, you know." "Yes, would you believe it, Lasse grandmother's got together fifty krones that none of us knew anything about, to go toward her funeral-party!"
Kalle brought in the old lady's arm-chair from her room, and made her sit down. "What's all that nonsense about?" he said reproachfully. "Why, you pay for yourself!" "Pay! Oh dear! They get twenty krones a year for keeping me," said the old woman to the company in general. The coffee came in, and Kalle poured brandy into the cups of all the elder people.
"Yes, and the day after to-morrow we shall say to-day," said Lasse, with a juvenile fling. They opened their eyes upon an incomprehensibly brilliant world, and did not at first remember that this was the day. Lasse had anticipated his wages to the amount of five krones, and had got an old cottager to do his work for half a krone and his meals.
To all of us, the master's like one of ourselves; he's even forgotten the grudge he had against Gustav." "There can't be very much to bear him a grudge for, unless it is that he'll get a wife with money. They say Bodil's saved more than a hundred krones from her two or three months as housemaid. Some people can they get paid for what the rest of us have always had to do for nothing."
