Petur was a history-loving man, especially he had a fondness for Napoleon Bonaparte and Nólsoyar Páll, sometimes I thought that in the collection he dreamed himself away in the time they both lived.
Petur var søguglaður maður, serliga bar hann tokka til Napoleon Bonaparte og Nólsoyar Páll, viðhvørt hugsaði eg, at hann í savninum droymdi seg burtur í tíðina teir báðir livdu.
