He concealed his irritation, but when they exultantly placed Gustav's cart hindmost in the row, it was too much for him, and he ordered it to be driven in front of the others. "My horses aren't accustomed to go behind the tail-pullers!" said Karl Johan, throwing down his reins. It was the nickname for the last in the row.
Presently she asked: "Have you been dancing at Count Rosek's again lately?" "Oh, yes, haven't you didn't you I " And she stopped. The thought flashed through Gyp, 'So Gustav's been seeing her, and hasn't told me! But she said at once: "Ah, yes, of course; I forgot. When is the night of your coming-out?" "Next Friday week. Fancy! The Octagon. Isn't it splendid?
Theodore's secret plan was to convert his brother, and Gustav's equally secret intention was to make his younger brother take a more reasonable view of life. "Good evening, you old mole," said the elder brother with a laugh. He was the picture of health and youth.

On Gustav's head the King had set a price, and spies were even then on his track. Gustav's mind was made up. What was there now to wait for?
The air hummed with merry voices and the strains of concertinas. They missed Gustav's playing now yes, and Bodil's pretty face, that always shone so brightly on a day like this. Pelle had the appetite of years of fasting for the great world, and devoured everything with his eyes. "Look there, father! Just look!" Nothing escaped him.
If he was going to put up with this from the whole row, his position on the farm would be untenable. "Yes, and mine go behind Erik's," began Anders now, "not after after Gustav's," he corrected himself quickly, for the bailiff had fixed his eyes upon him, and taken a step forward to knock him down. The bailiff stood silent for a moment as if listening, the muscles of his arms quivering.
