And where should I go if I did? The Captain arrived. He went all through the house at once into the parlour, out into the kitchen, then to the rooms upstairs in his fur coat and overboots. "Where's Fruen?" he asked. "Fruen went to meet Captain," answered Ragnhild. "We thought she'd be coming back now as well." The Captain's head bowed forward a little. Then cautiously he began questioning.
And you'd better go, too." "But they'll ring in a minute and be wanting something if I do." "Let them ring!" And then it was Ragnhild confessed that the Captain himself had asked her to stay up that night in case Fruen should want her. This altered the whole aspect of affairs in a moment. Evidently the Captain had feared something might happen, and set Ragnhild on guard in case.
Couldn't you stay a little? 'Stay here, with you, now? he asked. 'Oh no, I didn't mean ... it wasn't that ... only, it's so lonely. I didn't mean.... 'No, said the Captain. 'You can understand I don't feel like staying any longer now. Ring for the maid!" "And then I had to run," Ragnhild concluded. Said Nils, after a while: "Have they gone to bed now?" Ragnhild could not say. Yes. Perhaps.
She was determined to upset her husband's calculations, that was the matter. Ragnhild, by the way, took it to heart a good deal, and sobbed and dabbed her eyes. But after a while she comforted herself with the thought that, as soon as I was gone, Fruen would take back her dismissal and let her stay. I, for my part, was inwardly sure that Fruen would do nothing of the kind.
From these dates Snaekoll could have been born by 1201, and married in Scotland between 1224 and 1231, and Freskin and Johanna would thus be of very suitable ages to marry each other, and their marriage therefore would take place after 1245, or possibly as late as 1250. If Johanna was the daughter of a younger child of Ragnhild, she might be born later than 1225.
I did not even see him myself, being out at work. Ragnhild asked if he had seen Fruen alive. He looked at her and frowned. But the girl would not give up; she begged him, for Heaven's sake, to say. And the two other maids stood just behind, as desperate as she. Then the Captain answered, but in a low voice as if to himself: "She had been dead some days when I got there.
But I persisted, and an accident soon occurred which resulted in the breaking down of this great barrier I heard the story of Ragnhild Kaata. In 1890 Mrs. Lamson, who had been one of Laura Bridgman's teachers, and who had just returned from a visit to Norway and Sweden, came to see me, and told me of Ragnhild Kaata, a deaf and blind girl in Norway who had actually been taught to speak. Mrs.
The pedigree of the descendants of Earl Harold Maddadson, and particularly of his daughters, who are named in the Orkneyinga Saga, ceases; and that of Earl John's family and of Harald Ungi and his sisters downwards stops also, save in the case of Ragnhild, the youngest of them, whose son Snaekoll Gunni's son is mentioned as claimant in 1231 from Earl John of certain lands in Orkney and in Caithness as well.
The Captain was aware of Ragnhild's doings, and once said to his wife so all might hear he was drunk, no doubt, and annoyed at something or other: "That Ragnhild's an underhanded creature; I'd be glad to be rid of her." Fruen answered: "It's not the first time you've wanted to get Ragnhild out of the way; Heaven knows what for! She's the best maid we've ever had."
And what if Fruen herself had seen me from the window! I resolved now to be cold and indifferent as ice henceforward all the days of my life. Ragnhild is properly in clover. The thick stair carpet muffles every step; she can run upstairs whenever she pleases and slip down again in a moment without a sound. "I can't make it out about Fruen," says Ragnhild.
