present; the fairings for the little ones at home were
forgotten; the purchase of the hymn-book was
not concluded; the silk handkerchief, which shone
temptingly before the eyes of the young bride, was
left on the counter. All followed to see Captain
Lennert carried safely home to Helgesäter.
When the procession arrived at Captain Lennert’s
home, all was silent and quiet there. Again
the Colonel knocked at the entrance door. All the
servants were at the Fair. The Captain’s wife alone
was at home keeping guard over the house, and it
was she who opened the door.
She asked, as she had asked once before, “What
do you want?”
And the Colonel answered, as he had answered
once before, “We are here with your husband.”
She looked at him as he stood there, straight, and
with his usual assurance. She looked at the bearers
behind him, who wept, and at the great crowd
of people beyond them. She stood there on the
steps and gazed into hundreds of tearful eyes which
anxiously watched her, and at last she looked at her
husband lying unconscious upon the board, and
then she pressed her hands against her heart.
“This is his real face,” she muttered.
Without further questioning she bent down,
drew back a bolt, and threw the doors wide open,
and then walked before the others into the
bed-chamber.
