The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
242
On
the
28th
the
ongoings
of
the
spirit
surpassed
themselves.
In
the
evening
a
great
blow
was
given
on
the
roof
of
the
sitting-room.
The
minister
was
inside
at
the
time,
but
Magnus
with
two
girls
was
out
in
the
barn.
At
the
same
moment
the
partition
between
the
weaving-shop
and
the
sitting-room
was
broken
down,
and
then
three
windows
of
the
room
itself--one
above
the
minister's
bed,
another
above
his
writing-
table,
and
the
third
in
front
of
the
closet
door.
A
piece
of
a
table
was
thrown
in
at
one
of
these,
and
a
spade
at
another.
At
this
the
household
ran
out
of
that
room
into
the
loft,
but
the
minister
sprang
downstairs
and
out;
the
old
woman
Gudrun
who
was
named
before
went
with
him,
and
there
also
came
Magnus
and
some
of
the
others.
Just
then
a
vessel
of
wash,
which
had
been
standing
in
the
kitchen,
was
thrown
at
Gudrun's
head.
The
minister
then
ran
in,
along
with
Magnus
and
the
girls,
and
now
everything
that
was
loose
was
flying
about,
both
doors
and
splinters
of
wood.
The
minister
opened
a
room
near
the
outer
door
intending
to
go
in
there,
but
just
then
a
sledge
hammer
which
lay
at
the
door
was
thrown
at
him,
but
it
only
touched
him
on
the
side
and
hip,
and
did
him
no
harm.
From
there
the
minister
and
the
others
went
back
to
the
sitting-room,
where
everything
was
dancing
about,
and
where
they
were
met
with
a
perfect
volley
of
splinters
of
deal
from
the
partitions.
The
minister
then
fled,
and
took
his
wife
and
child
to
Muli,
the
next
farm,
and
left
them
there,
as
she
was
frightened
to
death
with
all
this.
He
himself
returned
next
day.
