The bonde can but flay us. The operation, I believe, is painful, but it cannot last long." "George, you are incorrigible! Suppose we go back and try the other side of this pine-wood?

The bonde hailed him good-humoredly as an old acquaintance, much in the tone of a master addressing a servant, and Thelma smiled kindly at him, but the boundary line between superior and inferior was in this case very strongly marked, and neither side showed any intention of overstepping it.
To all the curious inquiries that were made concerning the cause of Lovisa's desire to see the bonde before she died, Ulrika vouchsafed no reply, and the villagers, who stood somewhat in awe of her as a woman of singular godliness and discreet reputation, soon refrained from asking any more questions.

Have I not told thee again and again, thou silly soul! . . . that thy grandchild is no slave?
