Pelle the Conqueror Page #6

- I'm glad I made it.

I was afraid they would see me.

I've got this quilt for you.

It will keep you warm at night,

wherever you'll be in this world.

Good-bye, Gabriella.

Good-bye, Blakka. Will you behave yourself now?

Well, Aspasia. Can you say good-bye to Pelle?

Now he's going out into the great big world.

Dad?

What's the matter?

Can't we stay here?

You have to run away on your own, Pelle.

I'm too old. I can't do it. I'm too old to travel.

I'm done up.

I've become too old.

Do you understand?

We'll make a bag for you, Pelle.

You can have two of my shirts.

You've got the clean one on.

Remember not to wear them

more than a fortnight at a time

or you'll get a bad reputation.

Change socks before you get holes in them.

Change clothes and you'll avoid

half the work and all the shame.

You can have my boots too.

They are a bit worn perhaps, but...

Yes, here is the Bible.

Ma Bengta wanted you to have it when our ways parted.

The next time we meet

you might have a real home, Pelle.

Give my love to Kama.

Good-bye and thank you.
