"I am sorry to say she dislikes him; his manner is not pleasant, and she considers him addicted to drink, of which I have never observed any sign. He is a good man, a little boisterous in manner. He is coming here to assist me in the winter, and will live with us. He is now in Copenhagen." Hardy thought Helga Lindal difficult to understand.
"Are these the horses the Englishman bought a few days ago, Herr Pastor Lindal?" asked Herr Jensen. "Yes," said Pastor Lindal. "But how are you, and how is Fru Lindal and your family?" "They are all right, thank you, Herr Pastor," replied Herr Jensen. "But I never saw horses so managed! Why, they could be sold in Hamburgh for a lot of money. They are fit for any carriage anywhere."
"In the olden times of Christianity," said Pastor Lindal, "it was found necessary to employ symbols, and to take measures to occupy the attention of an ignorant people, and it is possible that thus the practice arose to be followed by the legend."
"A horse cannot jump the garden wall by himself, much more with a man on his back; no horse could do it. But I believe you can do anything." "Well, Herr Pastor," said Hardy, "I have no one who believes in me or my horse. Frøken Helga regards me with suspicion; and no one in Jutland appears to believe more than they see." "Yes; but it is impossible," said Pastor Lindal.
"There is a remarkable one," replied Pastor Lindal, "as one of the legends of the old cathedral at Aarhus. Many years ago, it was observed that the bodies buried in the churchyard, then belonging to the cathedral, were taken away, no one knew how. At last, it was observed that a Lindorm had its habitation under the cathedral, and came out every night, and devoured the corpses.
My difficulty is that I do not know Danish well, and Herr Jensen has had the greatest difficulty to understand me about horses; how, then, could I understand so difficult a subject as a Danish lady?" "Frøken Jaeger says, you said that Frøken Helga Lindal would make an excellent wife," said Fru Jensen. "Yes," said Hardy. "She asked me, and I said it was possible."
Hardy put the horse through its paces, and if his judgment was not favourable, it was declined; but if doubtful. Garth rode it, and Hardy looked on. A couple of horses were thus selected, and both had Robert Garth's unqualified approval. "They are both as handsome as paint, and as sound as bells," said Garth. "Are you a horse-dealer?" asked Pastor Lindal, of Hardy, one evening.
"Yes, I know that; but my heart is not faint," said John. "I only wait to be sure of it, and your approval, mother." Karl Lindal made progress in learning English and Hardy made inquiries for a berth for him with a foreign broker. In reply to the question as to Karl's character, Hardy told the story of the young Dane's refusing taking any money from Hardy in their driving tour to Esbjerg.
I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another the next morning." The Complete Angler. When the tobacco parliament began the evening after the excursion to Rosendal, Pastor Lindal said, "I have told Herr Hardy the nature of Kirstin's imputations against him, and what he said to-day to you, Helga, was in ignorance of that.
Ask for Baron Jarlsberg." Hardy accepted, and went up to the grand stand where Fru Jensen and her daughters were and Frøken Helga Lindal. He had changed his clothes for a black morning coat and tweed trousers. The last race was being ran.
