Ole, in great excitement: "What do you think of the gard?"
"Magnificent land!" "Magnificent land; is it not?" "No pasture equal to it!" "No pasture equal to it! Something can be done with it?" "It will become the best gard in the district!" "It will become the best gard in the district! Do you think so? Do you mean that?" "As surely as I am standing here!" "There, is not that just what I have said?" They both talked equally fast, and fitted together like the cogs of two wheels. "But money, you see, money? I have no money." "We will get on slowly without money; but get on we shall!" "We shall get on! Of course we will! But if we _had_ money, it would go faster you say?" "Many times faster." |
