"We can use the conveyance that is standing outside, then it will not take long." "Yes, at once! at once! Do you, too, want everything done with haste ?" "Yes, with haste and wrong." "With haste and wrong! Just the way it was with me when I was young, precisely." "Here is your cap and staff; now I am going to drive you away." "You are going to drive me away, ha--ha--ha! But you are coming with me; are you not?
You are coming with me?
All the rest of you come along, too; we must sit together this evening as long as the coals are alive.

Come along!" They promised that they would come.

Oyvind helped Ole into the conveyance, and they drove off to Nordistuen.

The large dog was not the only one up there who was surprised when Ole Nordistuen came driving into the gard with Oyvind Pladsen.

While Oyvind was helping Ole out of the conveyance, and servants and laborers were gaping at them, Marit came out in the passage to see what the dog kept barking at; but paused, as if suddenly bewitched, turned fiery red, and ran in.
Old Ole, meanwhile, shouted so tremendously for her when he got into the house that she had to come forward again.
"Go and make yourself trim, girl; here is the one who is to have the gard!" "Is that true ?" she cries, involuntarily, and so loud that the words rang through the room.
"Yes; it is true!" replies Oyvind, clapping his hands.
At this she swings round on her toe, flings away what she has in her hand, and runs out; but Oyvind follows her.
Soon came the school-master, and Thore and his wife.
