And although Lisbeth had not said a word about where she was going to meet Jacob, it seemed just as if Kjersti knew that, too; for she made up a package with a remarkably fine lunch in it, and told Lisbeth that she must treat Jacob to some of it, because he would probably have to go back to Nordrum Sæter that evening and would not have time to come down to Hoel.
"Oh, I don't know; but no doubt it is something pleasant, for the king clapped Nordrum on the shoulder and said: 'Thanks, my good man. We can all thank God that there are happier days in Norway now. "'That was what I was thinking of when I showed you the moss, said Nordrum.
And an instant after they were in eager dispute about which was the better place to live at, Nordrum or Hoel. Agree upon that question they could not; but when Jacob's appetite had been more than satisfied he finally admitted that they were both fine places, each one in its own way, and that, at any rate, those two were the best in the whole valley.
"The king took a piece and chewed it. 'Yes, there is bird lime in it, he said. "Nobody else had moved or spoken since Nordrum picked the moss, they were so surprised. At last father heard one of the officers say, 'It is astonishing how tactless these farmers can be!" "What is tactless?" asked Lisbeth.
In the spring before the last a message had come from Nordrum Farm that a boy was needed to look after the flocks, and Jacob had at once applied and been accepted. He and Lisbeth had often knelt on the long wooden bench under the little window at Peerout Castle, and gazed upon the different farms, choosing which they would work on when they were big enough.
Soon they could think of nothing except this stranger. "It must be a man trying to find his horses," said Ole. "Yes, it must be, surely," said Peter. "But what farmer could be sending up for his horses now?" "Let me see, it must be Nordrum." "Yes, that is true. They have only Old Blakken at home now, and they will have to begin their haymaking soon."
Jacob Jacob's-son Nordrum, Esq. P.S. Please answer. That evening Lisbeth Longfrock sat with her tongue thrust into one corner of her mouth, and wrote her response. HOEL'S SÆTER, 17th of this month. Good Brother: I will now write a few words to you, and thank you for your welcome letter which I have duly received. I am glad to see that you are in good health.
She had much to tell about them both, but Jacob thought it was queer that she had more to say about Ole than about Peter; for while Ole was a straight-forward fellow, it could not be denied that he was a bit of a boaster. Then they talked about their future. Jacob was going to stay at Nordrum Farm until he was grown up, and perhaps longer.
