'But surely you must know what made you write? 'I suppose it was because I hoped things would come right again. 'And they didn't? 'Well, no! 'But what was in your mind when you wrote? Were you thinking of me? Did you want me again? I can't make out what was in your mind. 'Ragnhild's finished, I see, said the Captain. 'Good-night, Ragnhild!" "And then you came away?"
I cannot make out anything written in my hand, so you see, Ragnhild has got ahead of me in some things. I do hope I shall see her sometime... TO MRS. LAURENCE HUTTON Wrentham, July 29, 1899. ...I passed in all the subjects I offered, and with credit in advanced Latin.... But I must confess, I had a hard time on the second day of my examinations.
Fruen had given her orders about a letter that was to be fetched from Lars Falkenberg's, and when it arrived, she was to wait till the light went out in Fruen's room, and then bring it up. "Very good," said Ragnhild. "But not till I put out the light, you understand," said Fruen again. And Ragnhild had set herself to wait for the letter.
But that about never doing it any more she's said that now every day since she came back, but she's done it again, all the same. Poor dear, she'd a toothache today; she was simply crying out with the pain...." "Go and get on with the potatoes, Ragnhild," said Nils quickly. "We've no time for gossiping now." We'd all of us our field-work now; there was much to be done.
But Fruen's windows looked out to the shrubbery, where the Captain was sitting with Elisabet from the vicarage. No place for Ragnhild there. Better to wait upstairs in the passage, and just take a look at the keyhole now and again, to see if the light was out. This sounded a little more reasonable. "But only think of it," said Ragnhild suddenly, shaking her head in admiration.
Ragnhild, however, had done a thing on her own responsibility which perhaps she ought not to have done she had taken the photos from the piano and thrown them in the stove. "Was it wrong, now?" "No, no, Ragnhild! No!" She told us, also, that she had been through Fruen's wardrobe and sorted out all handkerchiefs that were not hers.
"I've sided with him all along." "Oh, that's only because he's a man." "No, it's not." "You'd much better side with Fruen." "You only say that because she's a woman," answered Ragnhild in her turn. "But you don't know all I do. Fruen's so unreasonable. We didn't care a bit about her, she said, and left her all to herself, whatever might happen.
In order to enforce his rights under both these grants, Harald Ungi collected a force, and, together with Sigurd Murt, and Lifolf Baldpate, the first husband of his youngest sister Ragnhild, invaded Orkney, while Harold the Old fled to the Isle of Man; but, on his namesake following him thither, he doubled back to Orkney, and, after killing all the adherents of his enemies there, crossed over to Caithness with a strong force.
But, by warfare and by fortunate marriage, Halfdan soon increased the possessions which his father had left to him, so that he became the mightiest king in all the land. The name of his wife was Queen Ragnhild, who was very beautiful, and they had a son whom they named Harald. "This Harald grew to be a very handsome boy, tall and strong and of great intelligence.
At noon, when we men came home from the fields next day, the maids were whispering something about a scene between the Captain and his wife. Ragnhild knew all about it. The Captain had noticed his wife with her hair down the night before, and the lamp out upstairs, and laughed at her hair and said wasn't it pretty!
