I haven't thought of the ranch for a year and a half Uncle Edward pays me the compliment of saying that my profits fell off twenty per cent. under Olsen's management oh, isn't she a dear!" For Madame Loisel, wearing a beaming and affable manner, had come through the door and approached their table.
The old man was standing with his arms aloft, his face turned toward the burning wheat, and he made a tragic figure that wrung Kurt's heart. Jerry came running up. "Fire! Fire! Olsen's burnin'! Look! By all thet's dirty, them I.W.W.'s hev done it!... Kurt, we're in fer hell! Thet wind's blowin' straight this way." "Jerry, we'll fight till we drop," replied Kurt.
Olsen's Elvira had learned her first dance-steps here, and now she was dancing respectable citizens into the poor-house. And the furniture broker's daughter was in Petersburg, and was almost a Grand Duchess!
"Be seeing you." They exchanged so-longs, and Kavaalen backed, and made a U-turn, moving off in the direction of Rosemont. Olsen's voluble protests drifted back as the car receded. Rand returned to his own car and followed. Rand found Gladys alone in the library. As she rose to greet him, he came close to her, gesturing for silence with finger on lips.

Olsen's hill was as if under a cloud. No flames showed anywhere, but in places the line of smoke appeared to be approaching. "It's a thousand to one against us," he said, bitterly, and looked at his watch.
When she held up the little golden-locked angel for the admiration of her lady friends, she was beautiful with the beauty of perfect maternal happiness; and Miss Ludvigsen said: "Here is love in its ideal form." But Mrs. Olsen's "nest" soon became too small; the family increased while the income stood still. She was daily confronted by new claims, new cares, and new duties.
And they were being talked about, anyhow; it would not make much difference if he and the boy went as her lodgers, especially when they worked independently. But the boy was not to be persuaded; he was jealous for his father's honor. Whenever Lasse touched upon the subject he became strangely sullen. Lasse pretended it was Madam Olsen's idea, and not his.

Don't be so grumpy, old fellow," he said, laying his arm on Olsen's shoulders. "No one can compete with you in the art of tumbling down, anyhow!"
