Excerpt: ...go your way! he replied, and motioned me off with his hands. Yes, yes; well, it must be so, I said to myself. Mechanically, I put on my glasses again, took the buttons in my hand, and, turning away, bade him good-night, and closed the door after me as usual. Well, now, there was nothing more to be done! To think he would not take them at any price, I muttered. They are almost new buttons; I can''t understand it. Whilst I stood, lost in thought, a man passed by and entered the office. He had given me a little shove in his hurry. We both made excuses, and I turned round and looked after him. What! is that you? he said, suddenly, when half-way up the steps.

Of course, he broke in, seizing hold of my arm; but I may as well tell you I don''t believe you. You are such an idiot, that it''s better you come in along with me. I understood what he meant, suddenly felt a little spark of pride, and answered: I can''t; I promised to be in Bernt Akers Street at half-past seven, and. Half-past seven, quite so; but it''s eight now. Here I am, standing with the watch in my hand that I''m going to pawn. So, in with you, you hungry sinner!
