Gösta shrugged his shoulders and bade her farewell.
In the hall he met Sintram.
“A devilish funny affair,” exclaimed Sintram,
rubbing his hands. “You are a master-hand at
getting up such things, Gösta.”
“It will be funnier still in a little while,” whispered
Gösta. “"The Broby parson is here with a
sledgeful of money. They say he wants to buy all
Björne and pay the money down, and I should just
like to see Melchior Sinclaire then, Uncle Sintram.”
Sintram dropped his head between his shoulders
and laughed to himself a long time. Then he made
off to the auction room and straight to Melchior
Sinclaire.
“If you want a glass, Sintram, you have got to
make a bid first.”
Sintram went up close to him. "You have good
luck as usual, Melchior,” he said. “A great man
has come to Björne with a sledgeful of money. He
is ready to buy Björne with all its goods and
chattels. He has arranged with a number of people to
do the bidding for him. I suppose he does n’t want
to show himself at once.”
“You may as well say who it is, and I will give
you a smack for your trouble.”
