Excerpt: ...Then he added: "You might do me the favour to try to interest Gregersen in my book, and see if he won't review it in the Gazette." And as he noticed that she grew more and more thoughtful, that she even looked interrogatingly straight into his eyes, he added: "Of course, you need not ask him directly-only give him a little hint, a reminder." Could this be Irgens? But she remembered at once his painful position, alone as he was, fighting a conspiracy single-handed; and she excused him. She ought to have thought of giving Gregersen a little hint herself and spared her Poet this humiliation. Yes, she certainly would speak to Gregersen at once.

She told him frankly that she had had no trouble changing her husband's mind; he had given in at once. But she was sorry for the children. "Yes," answered Irgens sympathetically. And suddenly he asked in a whisper: "Did you lock the door as you came in?" She glanced at him, lowered her eyes and whispered: "Yes."
