No; no, he couldn't. He loved her and, after being repelled with such cruelty, his love would simply go on increasing. He was sure of that. A nervous tremor made Freya's voice sharp and cutting, and her eyes took on a dangerous gleam. She looked at her companion as though he were an enemy whose death she longed for. "Very well, then, if you must know it.
I asked, very low. "Nobody knows I am here," she whispered. "And nobody can see us," I whispered back. The murmur of words "I've been so frightened" reached me. Just then forty feet above our head, from the yet lighted verandah, unexpected and startling, Freya's voice rang out in a clear, imperious call: "Antonia!" With a stifled exclamation, the hesitating girl vanished out of the path.
Go away, then, old man, and leave me alone here with that ghost, he says, jerking his head at the wreck of his brig. "Mad! It was getting dusk. I did not care to stop any longer all by myself with that man in that lonely place. I was not going to tell him of Freya's illness. Anaemia! What was the good? Mad! And what sort of husband would he have made, anyhow, for a sensible girl like Freya?
She made a quick change of it because she wished to be on the verandah before her father and the lieutenant met again. She relied on herself to regulate that evening's intercourse between these two. But Antonia, still scared and hysterical, exhibited a bruise on her arm which roused Freya's indignation.
How I would fasten my mouth against their hearts!... And I would suck them.... I would suck them until there wasn't a drop of blood left, tossing away then their empty carcasses!..." Ulysses began to wonder if he had fallen in love with a crazy woman. His disquietude, his surprise and questioning eyes gradually restored Freya's serenity.
Freya's arms were round Jasper's neck. Their faces were characteristically superimposed on each other, and Heemskirk went on, his throat choked with a sudden rising of curses, till on the west verandah he stumbled blindly against a chair and then dropped into another as though his legs had been swept from under him.

Each of Freya's confidences evoked a new predecessor from the haze of her past. Coming out of the beer-garden, the captain stalked along with a gloomy aspect.
"There is but one way to win the hammer back, Thor," he said, "and the Gods in Council have decreed that you shall take it." "What is the way?" said Thor. "But no matter what it is, tell me of it and I shall do as thou dost say." "Then," said laughing Loki, "I am to take you to Jötunheim as a bride for Thrym. Thou art to go in bridal dress and veil, in Freya's veil and bridal dress." "What!
"Yes," raged Fafner; "I know it is fair Freya's golden apples that keep you young. But now Freya belongs to me. Nothing else will I have." Just then Wotan saw his brother, Loki, coming over the mountain. "Wait, Fafner! Wait until I can talk with my brother about this!" "Loki, why are you so late?" complained Wotan, when Loki came. Loki was much excited.
