The Pilgrim of God
Captain Lennert, God’s pilgrim, came one
afternoon in August to the inn at Broby, and
entered the kitchen there. He was on his way home
to Helgesäter, which lay a few miles northwest of
Broby, near the edge of the forest.
He did not know then that he was to be one of
God’s pilgrims on earth; his heart was filled with
joy at the thought of seeing his home once more.
His had been a cruel fate, but now he was home, and
all would be well. He never thought of being one
of those who may never rest under their own
roof-tree nor warm themselves at their own fireside.
He was a jovial-tempered man, and as he found
no one in the kitchen, he made as much stir there
as an excited boy. He threw the wrong shuttle into
the loom and entangled the cord of the spinning-wheel,
and then, catching up the cat, he dropped
it on the dog’s head, laughing till the whole house
rang to see the two comrades fly at each other with
extended claws and blazing eyes and hair on end in
momentary forgetfulness of their old friendship.
Attracted by the noise, the landlady came in,
and paused on the threshold to gaze at the man
who stood laughing at the quarrelsome animals. She
knew him well, but when she last saw him, he was
sitting in a prison cart with handcuffs on his wrists.
