John Hardy had visited the Gudenaa within walking distance, or boating distance, and he wished to make longer expeditions from the parsonage. He inspected several of the farms near, and at last arranged with farmer Niels Jacobsen to rent stabling for three horses. He then wrote the following letter, addressed to a groom at Hardy Place: "Robert Garth, "I want you to bring Buffalo to me in Denmark.
"Your eyes are young," he said to Pelle, his head trembling. "Can't you see that it's Niels?" "No, it's Karl," said Pelle softly. And Ole went with bowed head through the crowd, without looking at any one or turning aside for anything. He moved as though he were alone in the world, and walked slowly out along the south shore. He was going to meet the dead body. There was no time to think.
But all the garments, even to the shirt with his name woven into it, were known to those who stood there. In one ear was a leaden ring, which, as we all knew, Niels Bruus had worn for many years. "Now, priest," cried Marten Bruus, "come and lay your hand on this dead man if you dare to!" "Almighty God!" sighed the rector, looking up to heaven, "Thou art my witness that I am innocent.
Niels Ryberg Finsen, whose name I am sure you have heard because his scientific research gave us the "light-cure" which has been established at the London Hospital by our Queen Alexandra, who generously gave the costly apparatus required for the cure in order to benefit afflicted English people was born at Thorshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands.
God deliver us from all that is evil! but Mads is certainly a dare-devil fellow, though I know nothing but what is honourable and good of him. He shoots a head of deer now and then; but what matters that? there's enough of them; far too many, indeed. There, you may see yourself how they have cropped the ears of my rye. But here have we Niels the game-keeper. Yes; you are tracking Black Mads.
He should not have done this, for a spade is a dangerous weapon, especially in the hands of a man as strong as is the pastor in spite of his years. Niels fell to the ground as if dead. But when the pastor bent over him in alarm, he sprang up suddenly, jumped the hedge and ran away to the woods. This is the story of the unfortunate affair as my father-in-law tells it to me.
How happy to be free, even without shoes and in ragged clothes!" Sometimes, when such thoughts crossed his mind, the fiery nature rose within him, and he beat the wall with his clenched fists. Weeks, months, a whole year had gone by, when a vagabond Niels, the thief, called also the horse couper was arrested; and now the better times came, and it was seen what wrong Jürgen had endured.
While engaged in this occupation, the object of which was not immediately manifest to the fugitives, Black Mads did not cease giving vent to his thoughts in the following broken sentences: "The wind is with us, the heather's dry; now Niels keeper can soon get a light for his pipe it is the second time he has had the benefit of my tinder-box; the man will, no doubt, curse and swagger about the heath-fowl, because I roast them without basting; but need knows no law, and a brave fellow takes care of himself.
Of the night's adventures he said not a word, and when they asked where he got the sword, he only pointed in the direction of the castle, and said, 'Over that way. They thought he had found it, and asked no more questions. When Niels left the castle, he shut the door behind him, and it closed with such a bang that the porter woke up.
To push the body aside as it fell was quite easy for Niels, so strong had the wine made him, and the second giant as he entered met the same reception.
