His store on the Prinsens-Gade, with its flag over the door and the costly sheen of the fur coats behind the thick plateglass, is one of the most expensive, the most profitable in Oslo. As a boy he liked to ride bicycles, and won the world's amateur championship at Antwerp in 1893. Pleased that his little girl had inherited a snub nose from her Irish grandmother...
