"It is Henrik and Marie," exclaimed Signe. The newcomers were greeted rapturously.
"Come in and see the results of my husband's planning," said Signe.
The visitors were led through the house, and shown the gardens surrounding it. As they had been separated for a time from their friends they had many things to tell each other.
"Do you know," said Henrik, as they were all sitting by the playing fountain, "on our way here, we met Rachel!"
"Is she also risen?" asked Signe. "Oh, why did you not bring her with you?"
"Well," said Henrik with a smile, "I told her where we were going and asked her to come along. But she naturally preferred to stay with her husband who was taking her to see some of his own people; so she graciously declined, but said she would visit with us some other time."
"Right away?"
"I can't say. She clung pretty closely to her husband. They are a splendid pair. I am glad, for I will admit that I once thought Rachel's case was hopeless."
"We couldn't see very far, could we, brother?" remarked Rupert.
