'Do you know what she's in for? 'I know all about it, says I, 'being Lensmand in the district. 'Oh, says he, 'won't you sit down? Quite the proper thing to say, of course. 'Why, says the Governor then, 'we do what we can for her here, and her little girl too. So she's from your part of the country, is she?
I put on a knowing, mysterious air, and ask for further details of the case where Hersat might be. Hersat was in the neighbouring parish, some eight miles away. The Lensmand lived there.... The coffee is ready, and Olga and I call a halt. There are only the fastenings to be done now.
What was the good of it, anyway? And supposing I was out on business, or driving for the Lensmand or the doctor, then to have to look after the telegraph first of all no, there's no sense nor meaning in it that way. Well enough for them that's time to spare. But running over hill and dale after a telegraph wire for next to nothing wages, 'tis no job that for Brede.
Possibly it might not be so bad after all. Isak ventured to point out that the hillside was not all under cultivation yet, but only some small squares here and there. The Lensmand took the information in a curious fashion. "I knew that well enough, of course, last time I was here, when I made out the report. But Brede, the fellow who was with me, he didn't see it. Brede, he's no earthly good.
Fru Lensmand Heyerdahl's words had carried great weight. All depended now upon the finding of the court. "Are you at all interested in the girl?" asked the advocate. "Why, to a certain extent," answered Geissler "or rather, perhaps, in the man." "Has she been in your service too?" "No, he's never been in my service." "I was speaking of the girl. It's she that has the sympathy of the court."
"But two furlongs!" said the assistant again. The Lensmand entered duly, two furlongs to the southward, and asked: "What about the hills? How much do you want that way?" "I'll need all up as far as the water. There's a big water up there," said Isak. The Lensmand noted that. "And how far north?" "Why, it's no great matter that way. 'Tis but moorland most, and little timber."
They had got thoroughly wet crossing the moors, and wetter still they were before they'd finished tramping the boundary lines through melting snow and slush up and down the hills. The Lensmand set to work zealously the first day, but on the second he had had enough, and contented himself with standing still for the most part, pointing and shouting directions.
Inger drove on, feeling all set up and pleased with herself, and, coming into the village, she may have been a trifle overproud in her bearing. Lensmand Heyerdahl's lady was not pleased at the sight of that cloak; the Sellanraa woman was forgetting her place forgetting where it was she had come from after five years' absence.
Couldn't you go with me a bit?" "Ay; you shan't go alone." They came to the farm, and the Lensmand stayed the night, sleeping in the little room. In the morning, he brought out his flask again, and remarked: "I'm sure this journey's going to upset my stomach." For the rest, he was much the same as last time, kindly, decisive, but fussy, and little concerned about his own affairs.
In the first place, 'twill cost you your eternal salvation; and if that's not enough, I'll have you up for perjury before my friend and patron, the Lensmand. And you know what that'll mean. "Of course you must go," said the Lensmand when I spoke to him about it. "And just come back here to me with your machine.
