The grain had begun to arrive and was being stored in his warehouses, thousands upon thousands of sacks. They grew into mountains; there was no room for anything else; even Ole Henriksen had been obliged to let him have space for storing. Tidemand walked around and viewed this wealth with pride; even he had accomplished something above the ordinary.
Another time he dreamed that he was upon a vessel, evidently in the rôle of Sir Tidemand. And Gro actually came over the water to him like the maiden Blidelille, "with roses like two blood spots upon her breast.
Hanka's address well; more than once had he taken her home when she had called on him secretly, asking for news about the children. And had he not found Tidemand outside her windows that night he returned from England? How their thoughts were ever busy with each other! With him it was different; he had forgotten his experience and did not think of such things any more.
"Well, let us end this scene. You need rest more than anything else." Tidemand walked to the door. She followed him with wide-open eyes. "Punish me!" she cried. "I ask you to have pity! I should be grateful to you. Don't leave me, I cannot bear to have you go! Do not cast me off; I have been unfaithful and But try me once more; try me only a little! Do you think I might remain here? I don't know "
Coldevin could not be heard; they laughed and shouted, although out of respect for their good friends the business men present they endeavoured to change the subject. Ole Henriksen and Tidemand had listened in silence; they were embarrassed and did not know how to take it, but began to speak together in low voices.
He would succeed; his head was still full of plans and he was resourceful as ever. Tidemand gathered his papers together and went over to Ole's office. It was Monday. They had both finished their mail and were momentarily disengaged, but Tidemand had to make a call at the bank; he had arranged an appointment at five. As soon as Ole saw him he laid down his pen and arose to meet him.
"Is that so?" said Tidemand as before. "Listen, you mustn't be angry with me because of this! If you only knew Your wife has called on me quite frequently of late; she asks about you and the children " "That is all right." "What?" "I say, that is all right. But why do you tell me this?"
I am sure you will like her." They walked on. "I want to congratulate you!" said Tidemand and stopped again. "Thanks!" Ole added a moment afterward: "Yes, I thank you. I may as well tell you that it is really decided, practically, that is. I am going up to bring her to town with me."
And the serious young man with the hollow eyes looked as if he were exceedingly anxious to attend that performance. He even said he had looked forward to it for several days. Tidemand promised to come; Ole said that he would get the tickets. No sooner had Tidemand left the office than Ole telephoned for the tickets he wanted three tickets together, 11, 12, and 13.
Coldevin stood immovable behind a corner and showed only his head. When he saw Tidemand coming straight toward him he stepped out in the street and bowed. Tidemand looked up abstractedly. And Coldevin asked: "Pardon me, isn't this Mr. Irgens I see down there that gentleman in grey?" "Where? Oh, yes, it looks like him," answered Tidemand indifferently.
