But the blue peak still haunted the lawyer's mind; he pointed it out to his lady, and smacked his lips, his eyes watering again. "Gracious, it makes me dizzy just to look at it!" she said. So the lawyer put his arm round her to steady her. The sight was painful to Solem, whose eyes were continually on the pair.
But she was unbalanced, a poor thing that had lost her bearings. Whenever she could, she secretly defiled herself with pitch, with dung; she sniffed at foulness and was not repelled. One day, when Solem swore a needlessly strong oath at a horse that was restless, she looked at him, shivered, and went a deep red. But she mastered herself at once, and asked Josephine: "Isn't that man leaving soon?"
Never mind, thank you, she would fix the blind in position herself. An occasional tourist came or went, Solem accompanied him across the fjeld, and he was gone. But where were all the foreigners this year? Bennett's and Cook's conducted tours, the hordes that would "do" the mountain peaks of Norway where were they? At last two solitary Englishmen turned up.
Hoey's torment and wanted to help him. Had not this same Mr. Hoey just expressed himself kindly about Solem, and was not Solem the lad who one fine evening had caused her to tear down her window blind? There is cause and effect in all things. "Switzerland," said Mrs. Brede in her gentle fashion, and then she reddened and laughed a little.
Quin etiam pauperiores manducant canes, lupos, catos, ratos, talpas, ac mures, ac huiusmodi bestiolas omnes: sed nec aliquis Princeps aut praelatus comedit vltra semel in die, et hoc parce, vel parcissime: et sunt homines valde immundi, quia non nisi bene diuites vtuntur mappis, linteaminibus, aut lineis indumentis: sed nec habent copiam lignorum, vnde et fimum boum, ac omnium bestiarum desiccatum ad solem accipiunt pro ignis materia, vbi se calefaciunt, et coquendo coquunt.
And the master of the house himself went with him across the fjeld, and as for Solem, why, he, too, went with him so that he might know the way for later tourists. We found the fat, short, and thin-haired stranger standing in the yard, an elderly, well-to-do man who walked for the sake of his health and the last twenty years of his life.
A moment passed in silence. "Yes, early tomorrow morning," said Solem. "I thought I'd tell you. Because after all it was your idea first." "Yes, so it was," said the lawyer. "You're quite right. But now he'll be ahead of me." Solem knew how to get round that. "No, I didn't promise to go," he said. "I told him I had to go to the village tomorrow." "But we can't deceive him.
And a few days later the whole flock of them are of one opinion: "Yes, indeed, he's the right sort!" Pity the poor, left-over associate masters then! Poor Mr. Hoey; there was Mrs. Molie, too, nodding her head for Solem. To tell the truth, she had no appearance of knowing much about the matter, but she could not lag behind the others. "So, Mrs. Molie is nodding, too!" said Mr.
Solem held out the palm of his hand, he told me afterwards, for he thought they would put more in it, but nothing came of that. So he created a disturbance Solem has grown spoiled and insolent from all his idling with tourists. "Mehr, more," said he. No, they would not. Solem flung the coin on the ground and struck his hands together repeatedly.
It occurs to me that he may be killing her, perhaps has killed her already; I am alarmed and about to get up when the key clicks in the lock again and Solem emerges. He does not run, but walks back the way he came, down to the veranda of my own house. There he hangs the actor's raincoat where it hung before, and emerges again. But this time he is naked.
