"You want to know what I think of all this?" said the bishop, when she had done. "I think that you could hardly help believing as you have believed, amidst these strange circumstances, and with your mind full of the common accounts of Nipen. Yet I do not believe there is any such spirit as Nipen, or any demon in the forest, or on the mountain.
"And what business can he have among the islands?" "I could say that with more certainty if I knew exactly where the pirate-vessel is." "That is your idea, Erica," said her mistress. "I saw what your thoughts were, an hour ago, before we knew all this." "I was thinking then, madam, that if Hund was gone to join the pirates, Nipen would be very ready to give them a wind just now.
"I feel confident, my dear, that there is no such being as Nipen." "Even after all that has happened? after this, following upon Oddo's prank that night?" "Even so, Orga.
Erica hardly murmured these words; but Frolich caught them. "Do you know," said she, softly, after a pause, "I doubt whether we can find rest by going to any place, in this world or out of it, unless if The truth is, Erica, I know my father and mother think that people who are afraid of selfish and revengeful spirits, such as demons and Nipen, can never have any peace of mind.
Besides, she was certain that nothing would make Rolf wear a charm; and she disdained to use any security which he might not share. Olaf could not help her in any other way; but inquired with sympathy when the next festival would take place. Then, all might be repaired by handsome treatment of Nipen.

And then the boys took to tumbling over one another, while Meta frolicked joyously, with Nipen after her, up and down the mounds, chased by Mary and Blanche, who were wild with glee.
There was no sign of any spirit being angry at present: but Oddo thought Nipen would certainly be angry at finding so very small a piece of cake. It might be better to let the ale stand by itself, and Nipen would perhaps suppose that Madame Erlingsen's stock of groceries had fallen short; at least, that it was in some way inconvenient to make the cake on the present occasion.
"I do not forget that you depend on me for getting home; and that the truth, about Nipen and such things, depends, for an age to come, on our being seen at home again safe. But I have a pretty clear notion that Rolf is somewhere on the top there." "Suppose you call him, then." Oddo had much rather catch him.
As usual, however, his curiosity grew more intense, from the little he had heard; and he presently called again. Again he was answered, by four or five voices in succession. "Was ever anybody so stupid!" cried the boy, now stamping with vexation. "It is the echo, after all! As if there was not always an echo here, opposite the rock! It is not Nipen at all.
