It was just after we passed the bandstand in the meer, and Starr had wondered aloud if the inhabitants of Broek ever did revel so giddily and publicly as to come outside their gardens to hear music, when there was a loud splash, followed by a cry. The splash was Tibe's, the cry his mistress's, and in an instant we were in a flutter, for the dog was in the lake.
Marken is as famous among the islands of the Zuyder Zee as Broek is among the villages of Holland; but with all its fame, and altho distant but one hour by boat from the coast, few are the strangers, and still fewer the natives who visit it.
The waiter went out, and in a few minutes a well-dressed and very respectable looking young man came in, and advancing towards Mr. George, said, "Did you wish to see a commissioner, sir?" "Yes," said Mr. George. "I want to make some inquiries about going to Broek and to Saandam, to-morrow. I want to know what the best way is to go, and what the expenses will be." So saying, Mr.

There were five joyous households in Broek that night. The boys were back safe and sound, and they found all well at home.
The adroit Spinola, hurrying personally to the front, had caused such a clangor from all the drums and trumpets in Broek and its neighbourhood to be made as to persuade the restive cavalry that the whole force of the enemy was already upon them.

"Even if you were the burgomaster of Amsterdam, you should not enter in boots," replied the master of the dwelling.

Today I start for Leyden, to return in a week, then you may expect me. Where is it?" "A mile south of Broek, mynheer, near the canal. It is only a poor, broken-down hut.
The evening before, her Majesty the Empress had visited the village of Broek, which is the pride of the whole north of Holland. Almost all the houses of the village are built of wood, and are of one story, the fronts ornamented with numerous paintings in accordance with the caprice of the owners. These paintings are cared for most zealously, and preserved in a state of perfect freshness.
He declared that he never felt "petter," and wished of all things to take a look at the city, for it was his first "stop mit Leyden." "Oh, it will not harm him," said Lambert. "How long the day has been and what glorious sport we have had! It hardly seems possible that we left Broek only this morning." Jacob yawned.
