Not when he was near. Ah! afterwards I thought it all so inexplicable. (Wangel: Were you often together?) No; not very often. One day he came out to our place, and looked over the lighthouse. After that I got to know him, and we met now and again. But then that happened about the captain, and so he had to go away. (Wangel: Yes, yes. Tell me more about that.) It was just daybreak when I had a note from him. He said in it I was to go out to him at the Bratthammer. You know the headland there between the lighthouse and Skjoldviken?
