"I do not ask that this ticket shall be sold to me for what Ole Kamp paid for it," continued Sandgoist. No! Right or wrong, it has certainly acquired an increased financial value, and I am willing to make a sacrifice to become the owner of it." "You have already been told that Hulda has refused much better offers than yours," replied Joel. "Indeed!" exclaimed Sandgoist.
Siegfrid, the pretty bride-maid, her father, Farmer Helmboe, Joel, her affianced husband, and even Dame Hansen, who was no longer haunted by a fear of Sandgoist. Perhaps the reader will ask whether all these friends and guests Messrs.
He did not say, however, but continued: "Yes, my dear Hulda; yes, Joel, you did the best you could, under the circumstances. But what enrages me almost beyond endurance is the fact that this Sandgoist will profit greatly, no doubt, by this absurd superstition on the part of the public.
"Leave the house," repeated Sandgoist. "I shall do nothing of the kind. If the offer I have made does not satisfy you I will go even further. In exchange for the ticket I offer you I offer you "
"You know him?" "Yes, it is Sandgoist." "Sandgoist, of Drammen, who came here during my absence?" "Yes." "And who acted in such a lordly way that he would seem to have mother, and us, too, perhaps, in his power?" "The same, brother; and he has probably come to make us feel his power to-day." "What power? This time I will know the object of his visit."
"Unquestionably, Mr. Benett. I have never known misfortune to pursue persons so relentlessly." "It seems so, indeed, professor; for right after the loss of the 'Viking' came that miserable Sandgoist affair." "True, Mr. Benett." "Still, Mr. Hogg, I think Hulda Hansen did right to give up the ticket under the circumstances." "Indeed! and why, if you please?"
"Then it is to Hulda Hanson that you must apply, if you wish to purchase it." "So be it, Master Formality," retorted Sandgoist. "I now ask Hulda to sell me this ticket Number 9672 that Ole Kamp bequeathed to her." "Monsieur Sandgoist," the young girl answered in firm but quiet tones, "I have received a great many offers for this ticket, but they have been made in vain.
"By the right every man has to speak as he pleases, and when he pleases, in his own house," retorted Sandgoist. "In his own house?" Joel, in his indignation, stepped threateningly toward Sandgoist, who, though not easily frightened, sprung hastily out of his arm-chair.
"That doesn't matter," rejoined the man. "I arrived here only this morning from Drammen, and am now on my way back." "From Drammen?" repeated Dame Hansen, quickly. "You are acquainted, I think, with a certain Monsieur Sandgoist, who lives there?" "Monsieur Sandgoist!" repeated Dame Hansen, whose face paled at the name. "Yes, I know him." "Ah, well!
Sandgoist must certainly have felt an irresistible desire to possess this ticket or at least he most have been convinced that the purchase would prove a most advantageous one to him, for he seated himself at a table upon which lay pen, ink, and paper, and a moment afterward he added: "Here is what I offer."
