past in the distance. When Gyldenlöve departed, and Marie
never went out, his longing grew apace, until it made him
almost insane, and at last threw him on a sick-bed.
When he rose again, weak and wasted, Gyldenlöve had
returned. Through one of Marie’s maids, who was in his
pay, he learned that the relation between Marie and her
husband was not the best, and this news fed his infatuation and
gave it new growth, the rank unnatural growth of fantasy.
Before he had recovered enough from his illness to stand
steadily on his feet, Marie left for Frederiksborg. He must
follow her; he could not wait. He made a pretence of
consulting the wise woman in Lynge, in order to regain his
strength, and urged his sister Magnille to accompany him
and seek a cure for her weak eyes. Friends and neighbors
found this natural, and off they drove, Daniel and Magnille,
to Lynge. There he discovered Gyldenlöve’s affair with
Karen Fiol, and there he confided all to Magnille, told
her of his strange love, declared that for him light and the
breath of life existed only where Marie Grubbe was, and
begged her to go with him to the village of Frederiksborg
that he might be near her who filled his mind so completely.
Magnille humored him. They took lodgings at Frederiksborg
and had for days been shadowing Marie Grubbe
on her lonely morning walks. Thus the meeting had come
about.
