Readers to whom Scandinavian literature is synonymous with gloom will find themselves agreeably surprised into many a chuckle over the mock courtship of Druggist Holm and Fru Hagen; the rival evangelists and their war over the Holy Ghost; the hit-or-miss conversations between a visiting Englishman and the squire's sister (carried on largely, out of politeness...
