tail between the door, and gave it a terrible squeeze.
"Are you mad?" cried his wife, jumping up as though she
was crazy; "must you squeeze my unfortunate cat to death
because the boy is trampling his own fortunes under his feet?"
"It was the cat’s own fault," replied Brun, angrily; and did
not cease to use threatening gestures at his wife, neither did he
loose the unfortunate member from its painful position, until he
thought that their united cries would deafen him.
A few weeks after this little conjugal dispute, Ivar took his
knapsack upon his back, and placed the certificate of good
conduct in his pocket, and left the house of his late master. He had
just arrived at the age of twenty-one, and might justly be
considered a handsome, well-formed young man. Without giving a
More minute history of our hero’s outward appearance, and his
wanderings, we will conclude this section of his life, not to see
him again until many years have elapsed.
