Chapter XIII
DREAMS. Iver remained the night in the little farm-house. He thought nothing as he lay in bed of the additional shillings he had lost to Jonas, but of the inestimable loss he had sustained in Mehetabel. The old childish liking he had entertained for her revived. It did more than revive, it acquired strength and heat.
