"No, that is impossible," replied the old
grandfather; "but I have seen it, and I have tried to carve it in wood, as I
have retained it in my memory. It was a long time ago, while the English fleet
lay in the roads, on the second of April, when we showed that we were true,
ancient Danes. I was on board the Denmark, in Steene Bille's squadron; I had a
man by my side whom even the cannon balls seemed to fear. He sung old songs in a
merry voice, and fired and fought as if he were something more than a
man.
I still remember his face, but from whence he came, or whither he
went, I know not; no one knows. I have often thought it might have been Holger
Danske himself, who had swam down to us from Kronenburg to help us in the hour
of danger. That was my idea, and there stands his likeness." The wooden figure
threw a gigantic shadow on the wall, and even on part of the ceiling; it seemed
as if the real Holger Danske stood behind it, for the shadow moved; but this was
no doubt caused by the flame of the lamp not burning steadily.
Then the
daughter-in-law kissed the old grandfather, and led him to a large arm-chair by
the table; and she, and her husband, who was the son of the old man and the
father of the little boy who lay in bed, sat down to supper with him. And the
old grandfather talked of the Danish lions and the Danish hearts, emblems of
strength and gentleness, and explained quite clearly that there is another
strength than that which lies in a sword, and he pointed to a shelf where lay a
number of old books, and amongst them a collection of Holberg's plays, which are
much read and are so clever and amusing that it is easy to fancy we have known
the people of those days, who are described in them.
