On apprising her of these different offers, however, neither Sylvius Hogg nor Joel made any attempt to influence Hulda. She was to be guided entirely by her own wishes in the matter. They knew now what her wishes were. Joel, moreover, approved his sister's decision unreservedly. Ole Kamp's ticket must not be sold to any person at any price. Sylvius Hogg went even further.
But when he bade them good-night on retiring to his chamber, he remarked: "The drawing of the lottery is to take place in three days as you are, of course, aware, my children. You intend to be present, do you not?" "What is the use, Monsieur Sylvius?" responded Hulda. "But Ole wished his betrothed to witness it.
"And the bride-maid has been chosen from among the sweetest maidens of the Telemark?" "And the fairest, Mister Sylvius," added Joel, "for it is Mademoiselle Siegfrid of Bamble."
Of course, Joel might have asked anybody where Professor Sylvius Hogg lived. Any one would have been only too delighted to point out the house or even to accompany him to it; but he did not ask, for fear of being indiscreet, and as the professor had promised to meet them at the hotel, it would be better to wait until the appointed hour.
Their influence on the whole art of the West is undeniable, and extended to the landscape-painting of the Italians, but without preventing the characteristic interest of the Italian eye for nature from finding its own expression. On this point, as in the scientific description of nature, Aeneas Sylvius is again one of the most weighty voices of his time.
Upon the lake, too, may be seen floating countless logs not yet sold to the saw-mills in the neighborhood. This sight led Sylvius Hogg to jestingly remark and he certainly must have been in a mood for jesting: "If our lakes are the eyes of Norway, as our poets pretend, it must be admitted that poor Norway has more than one beam in her eye, as the Bible says."
Strange to say, Sylvius Hogg's face seemed to have become more serene since his departure from the inn, though it is not improbable that his cheerfulness was a trifle forced, so anxious was he that this trip should divert Joel and Hulda from their sorrowful thoughts. It took them only about two hours and a half to reach Moel, which is situated at the end of Lake Tinn.
The Mosaic pavement of their duomo, or cathedral, has been much admired; as well as the history of Aeneas Sylvius, afterwards pope Pius II., painted on the walls of the library, partly by Pietro Perugino, and partly by his pupil Raphael D'Urbino.
About this time there came to him Cornelis Sylvius, the eminent preacher, to sit for a picture that was to adorn the Seaman's Orphanage, of which Sylvius was director. It took a good many sittings to bring out a Rembrandt portrait. On one of his visits the clergyman was accompanied by a young woman his ward by name, Saskia van Ulenburgh.
At least she has emphasized it, and she has done the most intelligent stage directing that I have observed in the performance of a Shakespeare play for many a long season. There is consistency in the acting. Rosalind, Jaques, Touchstone, Celia, Oliver, the dukes, Charles, Sylvius, the whole lot, in fact, are natural in method and manner. There is no striving for the fantastic.
