"'But ye souls, go back again to earth, and teach mankind to keep my Fifth Commandment, which is the Commandment to love thy neighbour, and is the key to all the rest. "'Tell them that my Millennium hangs in the east like a dawn. But how shall it rise in the sky and give light to the world, as long as ye let Death take the Great Beast in his service? "'For the Great Beast is War.'"... Lotta Hedman came to herself. She looked round and saw a close circle of people. Many faces shone with a great content. "Where have I been?" she said. "What have I said? Has God at last spoken through my mouth?" Tears of joy and thankfulness flowed from her eyes. CONCLUSION NEARLY a year had passed when, one day, a woman in mourning came driving to the vicarage at Algeröd. Her coming occasioned no great surprise, for though it had never become generally known that she still lived, there were yet a few of those visiting Hånger who had seen and recognized her, and the rumour had spread. She had never been separated from her husband by any legal act. Sven Elversson's illness had forced him to live quietly, without any excitement, and the others had done all they could to spare him. Now that she had come, she went very quietly up to one of the small rooms and made herself at home there. She did not force herself into the place of the old lady who had been mistress in her absence, but her nature was such that no one could resist her, and by the power of affection she began to rule over her and the servants and brought back peace and content to the home. Her husband let her come and go as she pleased, and live her own life, as he did his. But after a few months had passed, she came into his room one day with a letter in her hand. And, looking round, she saw that the room was full of pictures of herself, and all the things she had worked and embroidered during her marriage were collected there. Her books were on the bookshelf and her prayer-book lay on the table beside the bed. She seemed to feel herself in an atmosphere warm with love. "You did not know, perhaps, that Sven Elversson has left a considerable sum of money," said Sigrun to her husband. "When his adopted father in England heard the news of his innocence, he kept his promise and made him his heir. He died at the beginning of the year, and now the legacy is due. It all goes to Sven Elversson's old parents." "That man left a great happiness behind him," said the Pastor. "And now they write to me, Joel and Thala, to ask if we will accept Hånger as a gift from them. It was their idea that we should carry on Sven Elversson's charitable work. The means would be at our disposal...." She noticed that her husband's face darkened. "It would be a much greater field of work for you," she added. Pastor Rhånge rose to his feet and walked up and down. "If you wish to move to Hånger," he said, "I will not try to keep you here." She answered quickly: "No, I will never leave your house again."
