Trofast, who had heard this, went and laid himself quietly down upon the hearthrug. He understood much better than a human being, the merchant used to say. Besides the people of the house, there sat at the breakfast-table an old enemy of Trofast's the only one he had. In particular, he was always attacking Trofast.
Hansen for this; and although Waldemar was now grown up a student, at any rate he took a special pleasure in stealing the gloves out of the doctor's back pocket, and delivering them to Trofast to tear. Yes, the good-wife herself, although as mild and sweet as tea, was sometimes compelled to take the doctor to task, and seriously remonstrate with him for daring to speak so ill of the dear animal.
'That I promise you, Thyra; and you, too, my brave Trofast, said the merchant, rising with dignity. 'Trofast is hungry, said Waldemar, with his knowing air. 'Goodness, Thyra! fetch his cutlets! Thyra was about to rush down into the kitchen, but at that moment Stine came puffing upstairs with them. Presumably, the professor did not find Mam Hansen worth repairing.
When they opened the great gates of merchant Hansen's coalstore at Kristianshavn, Trofast sat there and shamefacedly looked askance; it was really a loathsome piece of work that they had set him to do. In a corner, between two empty baskets, they found a bundle of rags, from which there came a faint moaning.
She hurried up to Trofast, patted and kissed him, and overwhelmed him with words of endearment. But Trofast did not move his tail, and scarcely raised his eyes. He kept on licking his fore-paws, which were a little black after the coal. 'Good gracious, my dear mother! cried Miss Thyra; 'Trofast is undoubtedly ill. Of course he has caught cold in the night; it was really horrid of father.
There were a few drops of blood upon the snow, and close by there lay, untouched, a piece of sugared Vienna bread. When the foreman understood the situation, he turned to Trofast to praise him. But Trofast had already gone home; the position was quite too uncomfortable for him.
And the thief crawls through the opening night after night; is it not outrageous? 'But don't you keep a watch-dog? 'That was indeed remarkable. And now Trofast is to try what he can do, I presume? 'Yes, you are quite right. I have sent Trofast out there to-day; he will catch the villains for me. 'Could you not nail the loose boards securely in position? 'Of course we could, Dr.
When Miss Thyra came home disappointed from a ball, or when her best friend had faithlessly betrayed a frightfully great secret, she would throw herself, weeping, upon Trofast's neck, and say: 'Now, Trofast, I have only you left. There is nobody nobody nobody on the earth who likes me but you!
But in the street also it was evident that he felt self-confident, and that he was proud of being a dog in a town where dogs are in power. When they were staying in the country in summer, Trofast went to town only once a week or so, to scent out old acquaintances.
Thereupon he went up to the merchant, and laid his right fore-paw upon his knee. 'Welcome, welcome, old boy! cried the merchant with emotion. He was moved in like manner every morning, when this little scene was re-enacted. 'Why, you can't call Trofast old, father, said Waldemar, with a little tone of superiority. 'Indeed! Do you know that he will soon be eight?
