   • 1917, Knut Hamsun, Growth of the Soil, Book 1, Ch.2, at p.15:

     On the fifth evening he turned in to rest with a little fear at his heart. Sadly empty and bare in the hut, and never a sound; the hours were long, and when at last he did hear something like a sound of footsteps outside, he told himself that it was fancy, nothing more. "Eyah, Herregud!" he murmured, desolate in spirit.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

   Herregud, for noko tull dette er.

   Good lord, what nonsense this is.
