"What, you here, Mister Sylvius?" they would exclaim. "Yes, my friend." "You, who are generally supposed to be in the remotest depths of the Hardanger!" "People are mistaken, then. It was in the remotest depths of the Rjukanfos that I came very near staying." "Very well, we shall tell everybody that you are in Dal." "Yes, in Dal, with a game leg."
By the end of the week Sylvius Hogg was able to leave his room without assistance, though he still limped a little; and he now began to spend hours on the benches in front of the house, gazing at the snow-clad summit of Gousta, while the Maan dashed merrily along at his feet. People were continually passing over the road that led from Dal to the Rjukanfos now.
"Go away again to-morrow!" repeated Hulda. "Yes, early in the morning. On leaving the Hardanger I was informed by a comrade that a traveler, coming from the north by way of the Rjukanfos would arrive to-morrow." "Who is this traveler?" "I don't know his name, but I must be on hand to conduct him to Dal." "Ah, well! go, then, as there is no help for it," replied Hulda, with a sigh.
So, after spending scarcely twenty-four hours in Dal, or rather at the inn, the traveler left without making the slightest effort to see anything of the surrounding country, Gousta, and Rjukanfos, and the wonders of the valley of the Vesfjorddal were entirely ignored.
In the presence of these poor, unhappy creatures, the professor realized the utter futility of any well-meant attempt at consolation. Hulda and Joel crossed the threshold only to stand and gaze in the direction of Moel, or to walk up the road leading to Rjukanfos.
I am anxious that nothing shall be left undone for these poor people to whom I am indebted for my life. Yes, if need be, I would not hesitate to sacrifice all I possess to find Ole Kamp, and bring him safely back to his betrothed, Hulda Hansen." Then Sylvius Hogg proceeded to give a full account of his adventure on the Rjukanfos.
Why, that is the very place I was going to!" "Can it be that you are the tourist who was expected from the north?" asked Joel. "Precisely." "Had I foreseen what was going to happen, I should have gone to the other side of the Rjukanfos to meet you." "That would have been a good idea, my brave fellow. You would have saved me from a foolhardy act unpardonable at my age."
