I've brought things all ready." "Wait till we get a bit on the way," said she. "Leopoldine, can you sit up by yourself?" But her father won't have it; she might fall down under the wheels. "You sit up with her and drive yourself." So they drove off, Isak walking behind. He looked at the two in the cart as he walked.
There were only two lacking now. "Come, come," they said to her cheerily, "this year the Leopoldine and the Marie-Jeanne will be the last, to pick up all the brooms fallen overboard from the other craft." Gaud laughed also. She was more animated and beautiful than ever, in her great joy of expectancy. But the days succeeded one another without result.
But according to German authority, it is her songs that have made her memory honoured. Her originality and her skill in metrical treatment have won her high praise, and many of the songs achieved wide popularity. Leopoldine Blahetka, the Austrian pianist, was one of the most prolific of women composers.
It was for Eleseus to begin. He began with Leopoldine. Well and good, she said good-bye in return, and managed it very well. Likewise Jensine the servant-maid, she sat carding wool and answered good-bye but both girls stared at him, confound them! and all because he might perhaps be the least bit red about the eyes.
Leopoldine is big and grown up now; she can knit stockings and mittens for the winter while she is watching the herds. Born in Trondhjem, was Leopoldine, and came to Sellanraa five years old.
And he and Sivert and Leopoldine, and Jensine the servant-maid, they were all busy now in the fields with the first lot of hay that year. Eleseus did not spare himself either, but raked away till his hands were blistered and had to be wrapped in rags. He had lost his appetite for a week or so, but worked none the worse for it now.
The Léopoldine was among the belated; there were yet another ten expected. They would not be long now; and allowing a week's delay so as not to be disappointed, Gaud waited in happy, passionate joy for Yann, keeping their home bright and tidy for his return.
Leopoldine did her share too, not to speak of having a machine for a horse to rake. But the hay was much of it heavy stuff, and the fields were big.
This is your papa, Leopoldine; come and shake hands nicely." "H'm," said Isak, feeling very strange ay, he was like a stranger with them all at once. Said Inger: "If you find a sewing-machine down by the boat, it'll be mine. And there's a chest as well." Off goes Isak, goes off more than willingly, after the chest; the men on board showed him which it was.
In Piedmont there were no Leopoldine laws to destroy; what was necessary was to create them.
