The brown, yellow, green, and red carts, ornamented with festoons of flowers in carved wood, which were returning from market, were the only grown-up things we saw except the trees, and they seemed abnormally tall by way of contrast. Mile after mile, the road to Enkhuisen led on between two lines of dolls' houses and gardens.
There are churches to see in Enkhuisen, and a beautiful choir screen, but we hadn't the heart to visit them. We said perhaps we would go to-morrow, and added in our minds, "if the boat is safely in." The Rabbit hardly knew what we meant when we asked for a private sitting-room, and evidently thought it far from a proper request.
"No," he replied; but he had heard that it was a dull little hole, and it would be far better to stop at Enkhuisen till next morning, when we could get away, if the weather changed, to Stavoren. "There's nothing to do in Enkhuisen," said Nell. "No," said he; "but there'll be less in Urk. I strongly advise you not to go." "That decides it," said Mr. van Buren, who was stopping on for a day or two.
Alb being frankly and openly a worshiper of the adorable Nell Van Buren, my own countrywoman, I saw that, out of all the girls I ever loved, including her stepsister, she was the only one it would be impossible for me to live without. That state of mind lasted up to the night when we arrived at the deadest of all Dead Cities of the Zuider Zee, Enkhuisen.
And Lady MacNairne forgot to put it down in her note-book when some one told her that Enkhuisen was the birthplace of Paul Potter. I shall never forget that night at Enkhuisen, or the hotel. Mr. Starr said it was no wonder Cities of the Zuider Zee died, if they were brought up on hotels like that.
It was an adventure sliding down to dinner. Tibe fell from top to bottom, into a kind of black well, and upset Lady MacNairne completely. She said she hated Enkhuisen, and she thought it a dispensation of Providence that the sand had come and silted it up.
