"But you will find the horse foals easy to manage; the mares may give a little trouble, but they will go like birds." The Jensens pressed them to stay to an early dinner, and Mrs. Hardy thought they had best do so. The well-bred English lady made a strong impression on the Jensen ladies, and the genuine Danish hospitality appealed to Mrs. Hardy.
The side saddles were placed on Hardy's Danish horses, and they went to Rosendal, the Frøken Jensens enjoying the ride greatly. Fru Jensen went through the dairy and criticized, her husband did the same with the farm buildings, and gave Hardy useful and practical advice, which Hardy noted down and afterwards followed.
The result of this visit was a return visit to Rosendal. The exact service and the excellent arrangements of everything had its effect on the Jensens, and the consequence was that numerous calls were made at Rosendal. Helga had returned to the parsonage, when John Hardy one day came to his mother with a telegram. The steam yacht Rosendal was at Aarhus. "Let us go to Copenhagen, John," said Mrs.
But, he added, the Frøken Jensens had decidedly advised him to marry, so as to have some one to manage these details for him; but he had replied that he must consult his mother on such a subject. "And which you intend to do, Herr Hardy?" asked Helga. "Certainly," said Hardy. "Good God, how sweet are all things here! How beautiful the fields appear! How cleanly do we feed and lie!
The boys were in the habit of saying what was uppermost. It was clear, then, that what Proprietor Jensen had said about Frøken Helga was correct. "We have caught a few trout," said Hardy, "and taken a few to the Jensens, who were so good as to make us stay to dinner, with the kind hospitality so conspicuous in Denmark." "They are hospitable people," said the Pastor.
"Godseier Jensen and his family are going to Rosendal to-morrow," said Hardy, after smoking some time in silence. "Yes," said Karl; "the Frøken Jensens want to ride Herr Hardy's horses." Helga had returned, and heard what Karl said. "Frøken Mathilde Jensen is a girl with a cheerful character, open and honest, like the Danes naturally are," said Hardy.
The Jensens say that the reason they have me is because you have always been their physician." Then the Doctor in characteristic language expressed his opinion of the whole Jensen tribe, while Harry calmly glanced through some letters on his desk. "See here, Doctor," he exclaimed, wheeling around in his chair and interrupting the old man's eloquent discourse. "Here is a letter from Dr.
The next day Hardy rode his English horse to the Jensens' Herregaard, and Garth followed with both the Danish horses. The Jensens were all on the doorsteps, as Hardy trotted up. The proprietor received him warmly, and his family did the like. He walked round Hardy's horse and admired him, as he had done on a previous occasion.
"I think, John," she said, "that to-morrow we will invite Pastor Lindal and Helga to dinner, and we will talk over the arrangements for your wedding. I should not offer to give her a wedding outfit, as I think she would not like it. I should give her a good watch and chain, as a wedding present, and lockets to the two Miss Jensens.
"But great gossips," added the daughter, who had scarcely noticed Hardy since his return. She got up and left the room. Hardy determined to risk a question. "Your daughter is, the Jensens say, attached to a Kapellan Holm, Herr Pastor?" said he, inquiringly. "No, decidedly not," said the Pastor.
