Jonas was correct in this answer, for Franco was accustomed to live in the barn.
After some other conversation, Rollo, suddenly looking up, said,-- "How far is it, Jonas, from your house to Mr.Ney's ?" Jonas laughed very heartily at this question, but gave no answer.

Rollo could not imagine what he could he laughing at.

Jonas, however, would not tell him, but said that he would know all about it, when he should come to see Franco Ney.
"Well," said Rollo, "I'll ask him why you wouldn't tell me where his father lives." Very soon Rollo and Jonas arrived at the mill.

They found Oliver safe there, waiting for them; and the rolls, too, were ready.

As they did not like to tumble the rolls, Oliver rode with Rollo in his sleigh, and Jonas took care of the rolls.
Rollo was greatly astonished, as well as very much pleased, when he came to see Franco Ney.
