"You're my clerk, an' your name's Sven Larson that's a good Scandinavian name an' you don't know nothin' about pulp-wood, nor options. I guess it would be best if we could put him up right here. We could be watchin' him all the while without seemin' to." "I wonder when Wentworth will be here?" speculated Hedin. "There's no tellin'. It's accordin' to the outfit he packs an' the guide he's got.
Master Jon told her that it was none of her business, but that night he piloted his friend across the lake to Isala, where Sven Elfsson lived, a gamekeeper who knew the country and could be trusted. The good parson was hardly out of sight on his way back when the sheriff's men came looking for Gustav.
There was a certain flower which I long had wished to study in its mutations from the singular forms appearing on the southern slopes of the Elburz Persia's mountainous chain that extends from Azerbaijan in the west to Khorasan in the east; from thence I would follow its modified types in the Hindu-Kush ranges and its migrations along the southern scarps of the Trans-Himalayas the unexplored upheaval, higher than the Himalayas themselves, more deeply cut with precipice and gorge, which Sven Hedin had touched and named on his journey to Lhasa.

Sven Persson did not rise, but greeted Halvor with a sweep of the hand, saying, somewhat facetiously: "It is a pleasure to meet so distinguished a personage." Ingmar noisily drew up a chair for Halvor, so that he was spared the embarrassment of replying.
"I should like to walk up and see Halstead Street, if it isn't too far," said Carrie, after a time. "Why don't we go to the theatre to-night?" "Oh, I don't think Sven would want to go to-night," returned Minnie. "He has to get up so early." "He wouldn't mind he'd enjoy it," said Carrie. "No, he doesn't go very often," returned Minnie. "Well, I'd like to go," rejoined Carrie. "Let's you and me go."

Sven Hedin concluded his argument with the words: "When it has been further established that the transport of Russian troops to Finland has greatly increased and it is affirmed that there are already about 85,000 soldiers there and when we also bear in mind that for many years past Sweden and likewise Norway have been visited by so-called knife-grinders from Russia, no doubt can remain.
