Here was an equal for Solem, a sexual colleague, a stallion in strength and stubbornness. And still he went on smiling. "Well, if you haven't any hides ," said Solem, finding the door. Nikolai followed him, still smiling. In the yard he helped Solem raise his burden to his back. "Oh, thank you," said Solem in an uncomfortable tone.
Yet she had been the first to want to leave last summer! There was something behind this. I muse on all this, and understand that her staying here is somehow connected with her carnal desires, with the fact that Solem is still here. How muddled it all is, and how this handsome girl has been spoiled!
But even yet he felt he had not appeared important enough, so he turned round and asked: "Why didn't you take one of my cotters with you to act as porter?" "They wouldn't go," Solem replied. "They were busy lifting potatoes." "Wouldn't go?" "That's what Einar said." Paul thought this over. "What insolence! They'd better not go too far or I'll drive them off the place."
He assented; but in the middle of putting on his coat, made this little observation: "Now I see how wise the ancients were: yes, friendship is better than love; calmer, more constant, free from the heats and chills of that impetuous passion; its pure bosom is ruffled by none of love's jealousies and irritabilities. Solem e mundo tollunt qui tollunt amicitiam."
Nor did his audience now consist of ladies only indeed, no; this was something new, a change; these were keen, alert gentlemen from the city. To me, Solem said: "Funny the accident should have happened just when the scratch on my nail has grown out, isn't it?" He showed me his thumbnail; there was no mark on it.
"We ought to get the hay in," said Josephine and the wife at the farm. "There'll be rain, and fifty cartloads are still out!" That was all very well, but "Where is Solem?" asked the English. So Solem had to go with them. The two casual laborers began to cart away the hay, but then the women had no one to help them rake. Confusion was rife.
Miss Torsen came by, stopped, and said: "I hear you're going for a walk with Mrs. Brede?" Solem removed his cap, which left a red ring round his forehead. "Who, me?" he said. "Well, maybe she said something about it. There was a path through the woods she wanted me to show her, she said."
Solem kept explaining all the way home how the accident had happened, what he had said and what the lawyer had said, pointing to objects on the way as though this stone represented the lawyer and that the abyss into which he had plunged.... Solem still carried the rope he had not had a chance to use.
Besides, he doesn't know, does he, that Solem has done anything to you?" She looked up at me then. "Are you asking on your own account?" "What do you mean? I don't understand " "I want to know if you're asking on your own account! Sometimes you seem as though you were trying to find me out. No, I haven't told my husband. You can think what you please about my honesty.
"If you're insolent to me again, I'll see that you're driven off the farm...." But it was not easy to drive Solem off the farm. After all, he was guide and porter to the tourists, and the only permanent laborer on the farm as well. And soon the hay would have to be brought in, and casual laborers would be engaged to work under him. No, Solem could not be driven off.
