"Yes, he is quite wrong in his head," continued her companion; "but it is not yet perfectly clear whether he is in love or whether it is religious mania. In favour of the first theory, that he is in love, we have the fact that he rushes over to Sandsgaard nearly every day, and is seen talking tête-
"Ah! it's well it's no worse," he murmured; "but it's bad enough as it is. I shall have to send her off to the town." When they were at dinner, he said, "You know, Madeleine, we have long been talking about your staying a little while at Sandsgaard." "Oh no, father," broke in Madeleine, looking beseechingly at him. "Yes, child; it's quite time now in my opinion."
The young man had a habit of suddenly looking at his watch, breaking off the negotiations, getting into his carriage, and driving off to Sandsgaard or elsewhere, leaving behind him nothing but loose statements and half-concluded business. Fanny had never troubled her husband with any demonstrative affection, and certainly never with jealousy.
The Aalboms lived about half-way between Sandsgaard and the town, which had been the original cause of their being invited to the Garmans' house. Since then they had shown themselves such good neighbours that the Garmans were generally glad to fall back upon them when they wanted to get a few people together in a hurry. Mr.
It was no longer the comfort of Sandsgaard which attracted him of that he was quite certain; neither had he any feeling for the young lady except interest, a deep, earnest interest, after all the stirring impressions he had received through her. She had a wonderful power over him. Her words seemed to shed a ray of light over much which he had hitherto overlooked.
His heart swelled with pride, and if Jacob Worse could have seen the look with which he regarded the passers-by, it would certainly have reminded him of General Prim. The next day at Sandsgaard, Fanny and Madeleine were together during the whole afternoon. Delphin could not manage to get an opportunity of talking to either separately.
In Madeleine he hoped to find the retiring and simple-minded woman for whom he was seeking, and latterly, since her manners had become even more quiet, he had paid her greater attention, and it appeared to him that she met him in a modest and womanly manner. On his arrival at Sandsgaard, he met Mrs. Garman in her room, and to her he entrusted his secret.
But when it came to saying good-bye to her father she gave way, and was carried senseless to the carriage. Martens soon found that if he wished to educate Madeleine to be a pattern wife after his own heart, he must get her away from Sandsgaard.
"Ah, you can scarcely understand," Martens began to explain, "to what an extent we poor clergymen are observed by the hundred eyes of our congregation; and the fact is, there are several most respectable old ladies who have taken offence at my frequent visits to Sandsgaard and to yourself." "No! How amusing! Do listen, Madeleine!" cried Fanny, beaming.
Martin, whom they had now let go, raised his head. "Blood, do you say? Yes, there's blood in them the blood of the poor that they have sucked from father to son. And all that blood have they turned to gold shining, blood-red gold; but," added he, mysteriously, "I will tap the gold out of them I will till it shines as red as blood all over Sandsgaard! Just wait a minute!"
