It was through her that I was introduced to the Colbj/rnsen family, and thus known and received in all those circles of which the one leads into the other. She paid some one to prepare a legible copy of my piece, and undertook to present it for perusal.
One day, when I was going from her to Mrs. von Colbj/rnsen, she gave me a handful of roses, and said, "Will you take them up to her?

Mrs. von Colbj/rnsen resided, during the summer, at Bakkehus, where also lived the poet Rahbek and his interesting wife.
