talking eagerly with Mrs. Hanka. Irgens turned to Milde and told him
curtly that there were certain impertinences which even friends were not
supposed to submit to--was that clear enough?
Milde burst out laughing. He had never heard anything funnier. Did they

offensive, mentally or physically! The idea simply had tickled his sense
of humour. But if it wasn't funny, all right....
Ole took out his manuscript.
"It is something out of the ordinary," he said. "Ojen calls it
'Memories.'"
"Let me read it," said Norem quickly. "I am, at any rate, supposed to know
a little about reading."
Ole handed him the manuscript.
"Jehovah is very busy--" began Norem. "Ojen has expressly stated in a
marginal note that it is not to be Jahve; now you know it!"
Jehovah is very busy; Jehovah has much to attend to.
