He was successful, and the horseman came rapidly to the beach, while the boat drew close in-shore. A few words sufficed to explain matters, for Fred had seen Dr. Holtum that morning, and knew of Tom's expedition. "And you have been allowed to bring the little lady to Lunda?" Fred said.
They did as Svein Holtum had shown them how, and tearing the cover from a pocket-book, tied it securely to Thor's leg. To make assurance doubly sure, a duplicate was fixed around his neck. Yaspard wrote on these boards "Captured on the high seas; taken in chains to Collaster. Then he tossed Thor up from his hand, crying, "Shoo! off with you! Home now!"
'Poor boy, he is in dreadful straits. 'What's this, Gid? enquired the uncle. 'Have you been fighting? or is it a bill? These, in the opinion of the Squirradical, were the two misfortunes incident to gentlemen; and indeed both were culled from his own career. Mr Holtum, the Conservative candidate, who lay so long on the bed of sickness, was prepared to swear to Mr Bloomfield.
Holtum said aside to the minister that nothing more satisfactory had he ever witnessed than the sailing round Havnholme of those two men together, with so sweet a bond between them as fair little Signy.
Tom Holtum came to grief more than once climbing after birds' nests, and Bill Mitchell had to be rescued from drowning again and again in consequence of his ardour in pursuit of wreckage.
Mitchell had come to plan a picnic in honour of Yaspard, and the Manse boys were of course "to the fore" on such an occasion. The Holtum girls, with the Doctor, his wife, and the Viking, were all there. If it had been pre-arranged it could not have been managed better. Yaspard was the first to speak and act. "Signy! have you come from Boden on a witch's broomstick? Where did you find her, Mr.
He always took his walks abroad when the rest of the Boden folk were in their beds, therefore it was believed that he seldom went out at all. If a philosopher like Mr. Neeven, who had passed through many years of most exciting life, could be surprised, he was when, coming around the planticrü, he stumbled upon Tom Holtum, spread out at ease, and unconscious of his position.
"And Tom Holtum has found it out too; and that is your quest? How fine!" "It is prime, Signy, prime! We are not going to tell the Garsons a word about it till we restore their lost pet, for we are all convinced it is their seal." "But won't uncle be dreadfully angry if you interfere? Won't he stop all your Vikinging and our meeting "
Holtum, the Conservative candidate, who lay so long on the bed of sickness, was prepared to swear to Mr. Bloomfield. "I will swear to it in any court it was the hand of that brute that struck me down," he was reported to have said; and when he was thought to be sinking, it was known that he had made an ante-mortem statement in that sense.
"I am so glad," said Yaspard, "that uncle gave you leave to come and to stay overnight, Mootie." "I wish she might remain some days," said Mrs. Holtum; but the Doctor, understanding best the kind of man Mr. Adiesen was, remarked, "That will be next time. We must not take more than his lairdship has conceded. By-and-by we may venture to stretch a point with him."
