They went slowly and silently back to the house, and as they approached it David said, "Some one has called, for the door is open." And they walked a little faster, so that Nanna's cheeks flushed with the movement and the wind.
It has come to this: I must leave Barbara, and there is a house empty close to the quay, and it shall be our home, Nanna; for I have sixty pounds, my dear woman, and at last, at last " Before he reached this point he was sensible of some chill or dissent, but he was not prepared for Nanna's answer: "David, why do you talk of marrying? It is ever that. I will not marry." "Not yet, Nanna?
After these words the conversation ceased, and the brother and sister commenced their homeward ride. In his great haste Gottlieb nearly ran into the water, in which Ragnar was standing fastening the boat; but so much was he astonished by the marvellous change which taken place in Nanna's appearance that he was forced to start back and gaze silently upon her.
To-day I shall talk to David; for the spring comes on so quickly, and I heard that my son's ship had been spoke in the Iceland seas." "It is long now since Nanna's baby died, and she still weeps without end for her. She ought to try and forget. It was but a sickly child, and never like to be world-wise or world-useful." "I wouldn't say such words, Sally," answered Barbara, with some warmth.
Though three off from Timmy, she had become aware that her son was bending over a very big, shabby-looking book, instead of sitting upright, listening sedately. She gave him one glance, and Timmy, with a rather confused and guilty look, hurriedly shut Nanna's Bible, and turned his mind to the sermon. He had seen what he wanted to see; and further, he had made a mental note of the page and place.
If I was to take it upon myself to pay the old man's fine; if I should further promise you to provide for Nanna's future maintenance you know I would not break my word will you bind yourself not to see her again?" "No, I will never do that. She would be oppressed with sorrow throughout her whole life, if I should be capable of making such an unworthy promise."
Doubtless they have a tender conscience toward God, and a tender conscience is what he loves." Then David rose from Nanna's side and walked rapidly to and fro in the room. Motion helped him to no solution of the tremendous difficulty.
And now others came across the Rainbow Bridge. They were Frigga and Sif and Nanna, the wives of Odin and Thor and Baldur. Frigga looked upon the Norns. As she did, she turned a glance of love and sadness upon Baldur, her son, and then she drew back and placed her hand upon Nanna's head. Odin turned from gazing on the Norns, and looked upon Frigga, his queenly wife.
"Must daddy's things go away?" "Yes, darling. Why don't you want them to go?" "Because I love them. I love all his little coats and hats and shoes and things." "Oh, Peggy, Peggy, you're a little sentimentalist. Go and see what Nanna's got there." Nanna had given a cry of joyous discovery. "Look, ma'am," said she, "what I've found in master's portmanteau."
Then, also, you will want my room. I must look for a new place, and that is bad for me." "I was thinking of Nanna Sinclair," said Barbara, in a musing manner. "People do talk about you and her. I have heard say " "'I have heard say' is half a lie," answered David. "I think that too; but Nanna's good name is to be thought of, and a man does not go every day to see a woman for nothing."
