They wanted to see my horse race.
"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.
An idea had occurred to Godseier Jensen which had filled the mind of the worthy proprietor and horse breeder. He had discussed the idea with his neighbours in all its branches, and had appealed to his paternal Government to assist him. The idea was a horse race, after the English model.
Two days after the horse race recorded in the last chapter, John Hardy had asked the Pastor's permission to take Karl and Axel with him to fish Godseier Jensen's tributary to the Gudenaa. They had breakfast early, and Hardy asked for a little lunch to take with them, to which the Pastor willingly assented.
