This, however, did not long continue a mystery, for the window was open, and under it stood a ladder Fröken Mette had been carried off, but by whom? What an uproar was now in the mansion! what outcry, screaming, and maledictions without object questions without answer! "After them!" was the first order, both of father and lover; but in what direction?
The rector was not at home, but Mistress Mette received me with great friendliness. She sat by the door spinning when I arrived, and it seemed to me that she blushed. It was hardly polite for me to wait so long before speaking. When I sit in judgment I never lack for words, but in the presence of this innocent maiden I am as stupid as the veriest simpleton of a chicken thief.
I do not want to have any dealings with him, except through my office as judge. I have prayed to God for wisdom and I have consulted with my own heart, and I believe that Mistress Mette Quist is the only woman with whom I could live and die. But I will watch her for a time in secret. Beauty is deceptive and charm is a dangerous thing.
It is even yet possible to overtake them, for the Dun cannot have gone any great distance with two." Her surmise was correct; on the road she mentioned, traces of a quick-trotting horse were plainly to be seen; and, as a further proof, not far from the mansion, a bow was found, and, a little further, a glove, both belonging to Fröken Mette.
She uttered this in a suppressed voice, as if she feared it would be heard on the other side of the waste. "There is no time for staying longer," answered he; "I am fearful it is your father who is coming yonder." With these words, he turned again towards the west. "Oh! my father," exclaimed Mette sighing, and at the same time clasping her lover still more closely. He again looked round.
"How far off may they be?" asked Mette again. "Scarcely more than two miles," he replied, and notwithstanding his admonition she again looked back. "I see no one," said she. "Nor do I at this moment," he answered, "they are most probably down in a valley: one is just now making his appearance, and now another.
In this second examination he had two inquisitors to answer, of whom the young lady pressed him so unmercifully by her arch bantering, that he at length found it advisable to recall his former denial, and confess that he was not particularly desirous of sleeping there again. "Is it becoming a cavalier," said Mette, "to be afraid of a shadow?
You shall take Nebbegaard for her, since I am weary of living at home and care little to live at all without Mette." Borre's eyes shone with greed. "I commend you," said he; "for a stout lad there is nothing like risking his life to win a fortune. Give me the deeds belonging to Nebbegaard, and you shall have my ship Gold Mary."
And this monstre, that mette with this holy heremyte, was as it hadde ben a man, that hadde 2 hornes trenchant on his forehede; and he hadde a body lyk a man, unto the nabele; and benethe he hadde the body lyche a goot. And the heremyte asked him, what he was. And zit is the hede with the 2 hornes of that monstre at Alisandre for a Marveyle.
I remember that Fru Kirsten once cautioned me against him, and said that he came prowling after Fröken Mette. And you," cried he to the bailiff, "yourself saw the handwriting of the bailiff at Vestervig. Either he has made fools of us all, or the letter was forged.
