'Twas only at first he had been somewhat inclined to show and play the fine gentleman, and that was the fault of his master Aronsen. It was different now. In the spring, when the bogs were thawed some depth, Sivert came down from Sellanraa to Storborg, to start a bit of ditching for his brother, and lo, Andresen himself went out on the land digging too.
That engineer from the town, good man better perhaps, if he had not discovered the lad in his youth and taken him up to make something out of him; the child had lost his roothold, and suffered thereby. All that he turns to now leads back to something wanting in him, something dark against the light.... Eleseus goes on and on. The two in the cart ahead pass by Storborg.
So he too takes the road up over the hills again, taking care to keep as near his father and Jensine as he can without being seen. Walks on and on. Beginning now to envy every soul of them in the wilds. 'Tis a pity about Eleseus, so changed he is and all. Is he doing no business at Storborg?
As for a mowing-machine and a harrow, he could buy them in any of the towns, and send up from there. He stayed talking a long while with Axel Ström about the other settlers near; of Storborg, the trading station; of Axel's brother, newly married, who had come to Breidablik, and had started draining the moors and getting the water out.
"Don't believe it," said Aronsen. "'Tis all one to me what you believe," said Axel, and turned to go. Aronsen called after him: "Hi, wait a bit! What's that you say Isak might take the place, was that what you said?" "Ay," said Axel, "if 'twas only the money. He's means enough to buy up five of your Storborg and all!"
There's the farm at Storborg, with potatoes and corn and hay enough for the place itself, but all provisions else must come from Sellanraa. Is that all? Sivert must cart up his brother's goods from the steamer all for nothing. And is that all? His mother must get money out of his father to pay for his journeys. But is that all? The worst is to come. Eleseus manages his business like a fool.
