But tell me, he looked at me appealingly, itsnot true? Dearest child, I consoled her, I will find you and come to you, nomatter how far you may travel. Whereupon they heard a couple of smart blows, as when onereceives a slap on the mouth. Do you remember what my unhappy father said whenyou placed it on my finger? Ah, Thou mercifulHeaven, what a shock was in store for me! I cannot tell yet whether what hashappened is of great importance one way or the other. I had hoped,once, to give her in thy bosom. At this she was exceeding happy, and kissed me many times. Godforgive you, Morten, he groaned, God forgive you and me, but it wasnone of my doing. Would that I might pass over the border aheadof him whom stern duty forces me to send thither. Bruus turned to the spectators, and said, That helpedthe parsons memory, didnt it? Morten Bruus led the way to the hedge over toward the east. Then, said Morten, well givethe parson a fright that he wont recover from in a fortnight. Morten Bruus led the way to the hedge over toward the east. I would fain change places with one of the talesmen! Tell me, dear child, do you yourself believe your fatherto be innocent? Farewell, God bless you and preserve you. Tomorrow, too, the first witnesses will be heard. She must have read thedeath sentence in my face, for she paled and seized my arm. If this trial is concluded, then weboth know that your fathers life is forfeited. Wait, brother Niels,youll soon have your revenge. Would to God I might havelain down beside her and neither of us ever awakened again! They had uncovered a hand stretching up at them throughthe earth. If this trial is concluded, then weboth know that your fathers life is forfeited. Almighty God, he said, Thou art my witness that I am innocentof this crime. And now, my friend, it must all be plain to you. And send at once for Pastor Jens in Aalsoe, for I want him to ministerthe last sacrament to me. Jens Larsen had been standing with folded hands looking at the work. We drove off to Grennaae, the pastor in the cart with the jailor and theclerk, and I on horseback. They had uncovered a hand stretching up at them throughthe earth. She must have read thedeath sentence in my face, for she paled and seized my arm. She dropped what she hadin her hands, rushed over to her father, and flung her arms around hisneck. At this they heard Niels Bruus revile thepastor, calling him a hangman and a scoundrel. He was given a chair andsat down heavily. Niels had suffered much in foreign lands. We turned quickly, and I saw that it was my betrothedwho had swooned and lay prone on the ground.
