Business matters, however, led him one day there. Chance or fate, as we call it, if the shadow of a consequence shows itself, caused Maren to pass through the anteroom when Otto was about taking his departure. She was the only one of the ladies at home. In three weeks she would return to Lemvig. She said that she could not boast of having enjoyed Mr. Thostrup's society too often.
"Neither is this Mr. Thostrup's opinion?" answered she, and looked at him with a mild gravity. Wilhelm laughed aloud. "Alas, I am no sturdy oak! Alas, I'm but the flower That wakes the kiss of May! And when has fled its little hour, Will voice of Death obey." The following afternoon came visitors two young ladies from Nyborg, friends of Sophie and Louise.
If they be left to themselves they will play mad pranks!" "Let us first see what the papers really say," replied Otto. The following day a large letter arrived; it was from Wilhelm: "My excellent Otto, We have all drunk to Otto Thostrup's health. I raised the glass, and drank the health.
"That voice I have not heard for a year and a day!" replied the old woman, and raised her head, as if she would see him with her dead eyes. "Are not you Major Thostrup's Otto? You resemble him in the voice. I thought, truly, that if you came here you would pay us a visit. Ide shall leave the baits and put on the kettle, that you may have a cup of coffee.
"Here lie his clothes," remarked another. "How!" exclaimed Wilhelm: "this is Otto Thostrup's coat! But Otto cannot swim; I have never been able to persuade him to bathe. Now, we will out and make a nearer acquaintance." "Yes, certainly it is he," said another; "he is now showing his skill." "Then he must have been all night in the wood," exclaimed Wilhelm. "Yes, indeed, he's a fine bird.
"Here thou art unjust to him!" interrupted his wife; "do not place a fine upon him, else I will place thee in a vaudeville! Thy life is in politics; our cousin's in theatrical life; Wilhelm's in thorough-bass; and Mr. Thostrup's in learned subjects.
