I'll send in a report, and say a hundred Daler would be fair. What do you think?" he asked his assistant. "It's giving it away," said the other. "A hundred Daler?" said Inger. "Isak, you've no call to take so big a place." "No o," said Isak. The assistant put in hurriedly: "That's just what I say. It's miles too big for you as it is. What will you do with it?" "Cultivate it," said the Lensmand.
His third point was the hurried and suspicious burial, without any notification of the death to either priest or Lensmand. Here, the man was the person chiefly responsible, and it was of the utmost importance that the court should come to the right conclusion in that respect.
The leading men, with the experts and the foremen, know well enough; they must start negotiations with the State at once. So they send a messenger off at full speed to Sweden, with letters and plans and charts, and ride away themselves down to the Lensmand below, to get the rights of the fjeld south of the water.
He's gone down to sale. Doubt he'll be seeing his chance to pick up something for nothing, like the rest." Heavy to look at was Barbro now ay, and sharp and bitter-tongued! The auction has begun; Isak hears the Lensmand calling out, and sees a crowd of people.
When the few witnesses had been heard Oline had not been summoned, but only the Lensmand, Axel himself, the experts, a couple of girls from the village when they had been heard, it was time to adjourn for the midday break, and Geissler went up to the advocate for the Crown once more. The advocate was of opinion that all was going well for the girl Barbro, and so much the better.
It was a curious thing; Isak had often wondered about it himself; he had spoken to the Lensmand about it, and asked for Geissler's address, thinking to write to him ... Ay, it was a mystery. "'Tis more than I can say," said Isak. Brede made no secret of his interest in this matter of the sale. "They say there's more of the same sort up there," he said, "besides yours.
With the weather we were having, and the ground as it was, frost at night and no snow, we felled a deal each day, and nothing to hinder the work; the Lensmand himself though we were devilish smart at felling trees, haha!
And Aronsen was wild about it, he was 'fellow that used to be Lensmand and got turned out, he said, and 'like as not without so much as a five Krone in his books, and ought to be shot! 'Ay, but wait a bit, says I, 'and maybe he'll sell after all. 'Nay, says Aronsen, 'don't you believe it.
And when we were in the boat, I fell to thinking where all these young people came from. There were the daughters of the Lensmand and the district surgeon, a governess or so, and the ladies from the vicarage. I had not seen them before; they were strangers to me; and yet, for all that, they were as friendly as if we had known each other for years. I made some mistakes!
I was obliged to confess I could not understand the Captain. "Don't you? Haha, but I do! I've not been Lensmand all this time far nothing. No; I've had my suspicions that he wasn't so rich as he pretended. Well, I'll send him a bit of a letter from me, just a line or so what do you say to that? Hahaha! You leave it to me." But at this I began to feel uneasy.
