The caravan has stopped at the quay, and Fredrik Ström, cheerful as ever, is poking fun at Aronsen: "I'm clean out of tobacco; got any tobacco, what?" "I'll give you tobacco," said Aronsen threateningly. Fredrik laughs, and says comfortingly: "Nay, you've no call to take it all heavy-like and sad, Aronsen.
They were silent again; they sat there and gazed at the dead man; there was something apologetic in the bearing of each and all. "Yes, that comes late!" said Strom, with a sigh. Then he felt in the straw and pulled out a bottle. Some of the men still sat there, trying to put into words something that ought perhaps to be said; but then came the doctor, and they drew in their horns.
Milt was the most prosperous young man in the village of Schoenstrom. Neither the village itself nor the nearby Strom is really schoen.
But Harlan had betrayed no sign that he knew Latimer was watching him; and when he saw Strom Rogers coming toward him from the stable, he grinned at him and made room for him when the latter headed for the bench upon which Harlan was sitting.
He had seen how Strom Rogers had watched him with awed respect; he had seen approval in Rogers' eyes when they had exchanged glances in Lamo; and he had heard men in the group in front of the sheriff's office speaking of him in awed whispers. He had never been affected by that sort of adulation in Lamo or in the days that preceded his visit to the town.
Strom was a famous worker who got twenty-five ores a day more than other autumn farm-hands, and his example was used as an incentive to coax work out of the laborers. "We shall soon get right into the inside of the earth." "Well, but it's burning hot in there." "Oh, nonsense: is it?" Pelle paused doubtfully in his digging. "Yes, the schoolmaster says so."
On Sundays, there was a crowd of people coming up all the way from the village; ay, even Axel Ström, who had no time to throw away, turned off from his proper road along the telegraph line to look at the place. Hardly a soul now but has seen the mine and its wonders. And at last Inger herself, Inger from Sellanraa, puts on her best, gold ring and all, and goes up to the hills.
"And where's he going to live?" "In the village." It was true enough. Brede was going back to the tillage. But he had first tried to get Axel Ström to let him live there with Barbro. He didn't succeed.
He's not named after me and called by my earthly name let him come." But for all the threatening tone, Sivert only thought a moment, and said: "Ay, I'll tell Eleseus to come." Oline was still at Sellanraa when Sivert got back. She had found time to pay a visit lower down, to Axel Ström and Barbro on their place, and came back full of mysteries and whisperings.
Axel Ström sat hoping for the best, then suddenly it seemed as if the advocate for the Crown and Fru Heyerdahl were joining forces to make things awkward for him, because he had buried the body instead of notifying the death. He was cross-examined somewhat sharply on this point, and would likely enough have come out badly if he had not all at once caught sight of Geissler sitting in the court.
