Bredejord and the doctor waved a last farewell to Vanda from the deck. Mr. Malarius, already frightfully seasick, had retired to his bed. They were all so occupied with saying farewell that not one of them had noticed the arrival of Tudor Brown.
Before knowing the circumstances which had brought him to Noroe, I said to myself that it was a shame to leave a boy so gifted in a village school even under such a master as Malarius; for here there is nothing to assist in the development of his exceptionally great faculties. There are no museums, nor scientific collections, nor libraries, nor competitors who are worthy of him.
Is it not true, wife?" added Mr. Hersebom, turning toward Katrina. "Very true, the poor little one," answered the good dame, drying her eyes, which this recital had filled with tears. "And he is our child now, for we have adopted him. I do not know why Mr. Malarius should say anything to the contrary." "It is true," said Hersebom, and I do not see that it concerns any one but ourselves."
Have I changed so much since we ran together over the snow, and smoked our long pipes at Christiania; have you forgotten our Krauss boarding-house, and must I name your comrade and friend?" "Schwaryencrona!" cried Mr. Malarius. "Is it possible. Is it really you. Is it the doctor?" "Oh! I beg of you, omit all ceremony.
Malarius, whose eyes were moist. "My dear friend, my good excellent doctor, you must not stay here," said he; "I will give all these youngsters a holiday, for which they will not be sorry, I assure you, and then you must go home with me." "Not at all!" declared the doctor, turning toward the pupils who were watching this scene with lively interest.
"Well, this buoy, what name did it bear?" "Doctor, I am not a savant. I can read my own language a little, but as for foreign tongues and then it was so long ago." "However, you ought to be able to remember something about it and doubtless you showed it to Mr. Malarius, with the rest of the articles make a little effort, Mr. Hersebom. Was not this name inscribed on the buoy, 'Cynthia'?"
Malarius, after passing two days in bed, was able to crawl upon deck, he commenced to eat, and was soon able to take his place at the innumerable whist parties of the doctor and Mr. Bredejord. Erik, very much occupied with his business as lieutenant, spent every spare moment in reading.
"And if you knew, Erik, how learned she has become, how hard she has worked and studied since you left us! She is the best scholar in the school now, and Mr. Malarius says she is his only consolation for no longer having you among his pupils." "Dear Mr. Malarius! how glad I shall be to see him again," said Erik.
"I will no longer delay your holiday, my children, and since Mr. Malarius desires it, we will stop for to-day." At these words, the master clapped his hands. All the pupils rose at once, collected their books, and arranged themselves in four lines, in the empty spaces between the benches. Mr. Malarias clapped his hands a second time.
Malarius and Otto supported him; and seeing this they granted his desire. This persistence deserved some recompense. Toward two o'clock as they approached a large island, Kaas began suddenly to bark furiously; then before they could prevent him he threw himself into the water, and swam to the shore. Erik and Otto rowed with all their strength in the same direction.
