Plans
were
being
perfected,--army
officers
being
secretly
misled
and
won
over
by
the
specious
talk
of
"their
country's
wrongs,"
and
each
move
made
Borgrevinck
more
surely
the
head
of
it
all,--when
a
quarrel
between
himself
and
the
"deliverer"
occurred
over
the
question
of
recompense.
Wealth
untold
they
were
willing
to
furnish;
but
regal
power,
never.
The
quarrel
became
more
acute.
Borgrevinck
continued
to
attend
all
meetings,
but
was
ever
more
careful
to
centre
all
power
in
himself,
and
even
prepared
to
turn
round
to
the
king's
party
if
necessary
to
further
his
ambition.
The
betrayal
of
his
followers
would
purchase
his
own
safety.
But
proofs
he
must
have,
and
he
set
about
getting
signatures
to
a
declaration
of
rights
which
was
simply
a
veiled
confession
of
treason.
Many
of
the
leaders
he
had
deluded
into
signing
this
before
the
meeting
at
Laersdalsoren.
Here
they
met
in
the
early
winter,
some
twenty
of
the
patriots,
some
of
them
men
of
position,
all
of
them
men
of
brains
and
power.
Here,
in
the
close
and
stifling
parlor,
they
planned,
discussed,
and
questioned.
Great
hopes
were
expressed,
great
deeds
were
forecast,
in
that
stove-hot
room.
