I almost think--I really 'al- most think I am just a little bit in love with him." At this moment they happened to overtake two English tourists on the road ; as they passed on in front of them, Frithiof, ~ with native courtesy, took off his hat. "You surely don't know -that man 1-he is only .a shop-keepen,'"' said Blanche, not even taking the trouble to lower her voice. Frithiof _crimsoned to the roots of his hair.

"The rain is the great drawback Christiania they have a saying that whensyou go to Bergen _it rains three hundred and sixty-six days out of the year. But after all one becomes very much accustomed to it." On the return walk the conversa- tion was moré general, and though Frithiof walked beside 'Blanche he said very little, "His mind was full of the new idea which had just dawned upon: him, and he heard her merry talk with Sigrid and Bwanhild like a man in a dream.
