Kristin Labransdatter

Surely he is dying; surely he cannot be long for this world. He is only 52 years old but the evidence Miss Undset presents is unmistakable that Lavrans has a bum ticker. He has poor ciculation; Ragnfrid rubs his lower legs, he has pain shooting down his extremities when an attack comes on; he had another attack while walking with Kristin, he was taking her part way home, they rested by a brook, "Oh, no--father, my father--should I nevermore see you in life--", Lavrans held Kristin in his arms as he did when she was a child, "At last he said that now she must let him go." Okay? But Miss Undset has gotten him back to Jorundgaard alive.
