The far-off herdsman observed to his fellow that there was a new call among the pastures; and Erlingsen, on the upland, desired Jan and Stiorna to finish cocking the hay, and began his descent to his seater, to learn whether Erica had brought any news from home. Long before he could appear, Frolich stole out trembling, and looking round her at every step.
Erica could not deny that this was the best plan that could be pursued, though she had no heart for going to the seater, any more than for doing anything else. Old Peder listened to her parting footsteps; and her mistress watched her up the first hill, thinking to herself how unlike this was to the usual cheerful departure to the mountain dairies.
It was now necessary to tell her that she would presently see Hund brought up to the seater a prisoner: and that the farm was no place for any but fighting-men this day. To save her feelings and temper, Erica asked her to watch the herd, leading them to a point whence she could soonest see the expected company mounting the uplands. Frolich shook her head often and mournfully over the breakfast.
It'd make a nice variety for Anthony after the shouting." "You want me to make love to him?" "Sure. And I'll try and govern my jealousy for a short stretch." She was silent for a longish while, then she nodded. "But only as a last resort," she insisted. "That's a bet. Me and Van'll be trundling along in the Rolls about ninish care to join us?" "No, I'll use the two seater." "Back your fancy.
But let's go and see. Maybe we can help. They'll surely need some attention after that fierce fighting." The two machines, one a single seater and the other a double, came to earth at the same time, and not far apart. And at the sight of two aviators getting out of the American craft Jimmy gave a yell and exclaimed: "Well, if it isn't the Twinkle Twins! Good enough!
Somebody has the benefit of them, whether it be the demon or not." "Who else should it be?" asked Stiorna. "There is not a man, woman, or child, on any seater in Sulitelma, who would touch a cheese laid out for the mountain-demon." "Perhaps not. I never watched, to see what happens when the Gammel cheese is left alone. I only say I do not grudge our cheese, as somebody has it.
Below him, now, was a billowing sea of fog banks, tinted by the sun which had climbed about it. A short distance ahead he sighted an enemy tri-plane Fokker, but before he could give chase it had dived into the fog. Over to the right, in what he thought must be the general direction of Montfaucon, he saw a single seater Nieuport cruising around.
Then, as suddenly as a magician produces an object out of the thin air, one of the distant searchlights fixed upon one of the enemy planes. It was a single seater, McGee noted, and though somewhat southeast of the position he had expected, it was already pointing its nose down on a long dive that would undoubtedly carry it to a good position over the 'drome for dropping flares.
"I ought to have said if you will help me. You say, sometimes, grandfather, that you can pull a good stroke with the oar still: and I can steer as well as our master himself: and the fiord never was stiller than it is to-day. Think what it would be to bring home Rolf, or some good news of him. We would have a race up to the seater afterwards to see who could be the first to tell Erica."
Some traveller who had met the budstick had reported the proceedings below, and the news had spread to a northern seater. The men had gone down to the fiord and here were the women, with above a gallon of strawberries, fresh gathered, and a score of plovers' eggs. A deputation of Lapps came from the tents, bringing reindeer venison, and half of a fine Gammel cheese.
