"Ho! A rich man, then?"
"Ay, seems like. And a wife and three children with him; and horse and cattle."
"Why, then, 'twill be a rich man enough. Any more about him?"
"No. He's three-and-thirty."
"And what's his name?"
"Aron, they say. Calls his place Storborg."
"Storborg? H'm. 'Tis no little place, then." [Footnote: "Stor" = great]
"He's come up from the coast. Had a fishery there, so they say."
"H'm—fishery. Wonder if he knows much about farming?" says Axel.
"That all you heard? Nothing more?"
"No. He paid all down in cash for the title-deeds. That's all I heard. Must have made a heap of money with his fishery, they say. And now he's going to start here with a store."
