The Visionary

CHAPTER III
6/27

They also found both the pewter jug and the lantern down in the store-house.

The pewter jug had been beaten flat against the goblin's skull, and the goblin had smashed the lantern when Rasmus escaped.
Komag-Nils could also tell a great deal about people with second sight and their visions of things, sometimes in the spirit world, sometimes in actual life, of which they either feel a warning, or--as if in a kind of atmospheric reflection before their mental vision--can see what is happening at that very moment in far distant places.

They may be sitting in merry company, and all at once, becoming pale and disturbed, they gaze absently before them into space.

They see all kinds of things, and sometimes an exclamation escapes them, such as: "A fire has broken out in Merchant N.N.'s buildings in -- --vaagen"! or "Trondhjem is burning now"! Sometimes they see a long funeral procession passing, with such distinctness that they can describe the place and appearance of every man in it, the coffin and the streets through which the procession wends its way.

They will say: "A great man is being buried down in Kristiania"; and when the news comes, it always corresponds with their statement.
