At last he reached the turning point. Peter Prytz, who kept the time there, laughed uproariously. After recovering her senses a little, she picked up the key, locked the door again, and went up to her room to try and compose herself; but she found it impossible to quiet her agitation. “Thanks, fellows, thanks,” laughed the Chief. “It will be fine for all of us.
