Holberg the comedian was born in Bergen; but he is generally classed among the Danish authors. In art, however, Norway takes no mean rank, the names of her painters Dahl, Gude, and Tidemand having a European reputation. Professor Munck is about fifty years of age, and a fine specimen of the Viking stock.
Nothing to laugh about; true, the day was bright and warm, but the sea air was treacherous. He repeatedly offered to relieve Tidemand at the tiller, but was not permitted to. No, this was the place for Tidemand; here he would not have to be entertaining, and he was not in a mood for social amenities. "Don't lose your nerve whatever happens! Have you heard anything further?" "Only a confirmation.
It was even worse than in fifty-nine when a similar edict had been lifted and had caused the world-markets wreck and ruin. But there had been war then. The clock on the wall ticked and ticked in the unbroken silence. Finally Ole asked: "Are you sure the wire is authentic?" "It is authentic enough, I fancy," said Tidemand.
There was the electric street-car proposition, the new theatre, the proposed pulp-mills in Vardal, the whale-oil factories in Henningsvaer everything had to have the business men's stamp of approval. Both Tidemand and Ole Henriksen became share-owners in everything as a matter of course. "My father should have known this!" Tidemand would often say when he gave his signature.
Tidemand made his way to H. Henriksen's large warehouse on the wharf where he knew that Ole could be found at this time. Tidemand had passed thirty and was already getting a little grey around the temples. He, too, was dark of hair and beard, but his eyes were brown and had a listless expression.
He congratulated his friend warmly. Yes, prices were better; the Russian crops hadn't quite come up to expectations; the rise was not large, but it meant a great deal to Tidemand with his enormous stores. "Yes, I am keeping afloat," he said happily, "and I can thank you for that. Yes, I can " And he told them that he was busy with a turn in tar. He had contracts from a house in Bilbao.
She is working, too; she is busy all the time." "It wouldn't surprise me at all to see her stay with you. Things may turn out all right yet." Tidemand glanced at his friend sharply. "You believe that? Wasn't it you who once said that I was no glove to be picked up or thrown away according to some one's fancy? Well, she has probably no more thought of coming back than I have of accepting her."
And he put on his hat and went to the door. She followed him with her eyes. Was this Andreas? "Well, I suppose you want to go," she said, bewildered, "and I am standing here delaying you. I suppose we shall have to do as you say I don't know what I am saying " Her voice broke suddenly. Tidemand opened the door with trembling hands and let her out.
When finally Paulsberg and his wife arrived, they all went aboard and were soon tacking out the fiord. Tidemand held the tiller. A couple of warehousemen from Henriksen's wharf were along as crew. Ole had arranged the trip carefully and had brought along a choice supply of provisions; he had even remembered roasted coffee for Irgens.
He had to finish it all now; he could not live another day; he was sick unto death. The country house he gave to Tidemand in memory of everything. "It will probably bring you more pleasure than it brought me," he wrote; "it is yours, my friend; accept it from me. Mrs. Hanka will be glad to have it; remember me to her.
