CHAPTER XXIV
Cordt looked into the room where Fru Adelheid sat:
“Where is Finn?”
“I think he’s in the old room.”
Cordt closed the door and walked quickly down the passage. She was sitting by the window and saw him in the square below, where he stood and looked up at the house. Then he walked away, in such a manner that she could see that he had no object for his walk.
The servant came and lit the candles. Fru Adelheid sat down by the fireplace with her hands in her lap and listened for a sound in the quiet house.
Soon after, Cordt came home.
She heard his voice in the passage. Then he went into his own room ... now he was outside again. She understood that he was on his way to Finn; but the next moment he came in to where she was sitting and sat down at a distance from her:
“Have you been up to him to-day, Adelheid?”
