You will not go to sea again, Jorgen, I suppose, observed one of the old fishermen. You will always stay with us now.
But this was not Jorgens intention; he wanted to see something of the world. The eel-breeder of Fjaltring had an uncle at Old Skagen, who was a fisherman, but also a prosperous merchant with ships upon the sea; he was said to be a good old man, and it would not be a bad thing to enter his service. Old Skagen lies in the extreme north of Jutland, as far away from the Huusby dunes as one can travel in that country; and this is just what pleased Jorgen, for he did not want to remain till the wedding of Martin and Else, which would take place in a week or two.
The old fisherman said it was foolish to go away, for now that Jorgen had a home Else would very likely be inclined to take him instead of Martin.
Jorgen gave such a vague answer that it was not easy to make out what he meantthe old man brought Else to him, and she said:
You have a home now; you ought to think of that.
And Jorgen thought of many things.
The sea has heavy waves, but there are heavier waves in the human heart. Many thoughts, strong and weak, rushed through Jorgens brain, and he said to Else:
If Martin had a house like mine, which of us would you rather have?
