Wangel.

No, not exactly; but she has been curiously nervous the last couple of years or so—off and on, you know. I can’t quite make out what is wrong with her. But to get into the sea is life and happiness to her.

Arnholm.

Wangel.

[With an almost imperceptible smile.] Yes, to be sure, you knew Ellida when you were tutor out at Skioldvik.[[17]]

Arnholm.

Of course. She often visited at the parsonage. And I used generally to see her when I went to the lighthouse to have a talk with her father.
