Elsket - 1891

This I consented to because I knew that my friend was a humorous man, and also because otherwise he positively refused to inform me where the streams were about which he had been telling such fabulous fish stories. No, he said, some of those cattle who think they own the earth and have a right to fool women at will and know how to fish, will be poking in there, worrying Olaf and Elsket, and ruining the fishing, and Ill be if I tell you unless you make oath.

I saw that he was in earnest, so made affidavit and was rewarded. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
