"Why you do like her, John," said his mother. "I do, but I do not feel certain of myself," said John. "The time I have known her is short, and it may be only a passing fancy; and what I want, mother, is your help in knowing my own mind, but, above all, hers. You will understand her instantly." "But why did you buy Rosendal, John?" asked his mother; "in all your letters you never gave a reason."
The effect on the eye, in comparison with the nakedness of the surrounding country, was forcible, and John Hardy was impressed by the natural and distinctive beauty of the place. Frøken Helga had scarcely replied to his attempts at conversation on the way to Rosendal.
Herr Hardy has taken me out in his yacht, that is a pleasure vessel with steam power; he has called it the Rosendal. "I have been out with Herr Hardy shooting partridges. He has had many gentlemen down to shoot, but they none of them shoot so well as Herr Hardy. A flock of the birds get up, and Herr Hardy, who shoots with a double-barrelled gun, always gets two.
After breakfast, in which the trout caught by Hardy the previous evening occupied a conspicuous position, the Pastor said "When you return I shall be interested, Herr Hardy, to hear your views of Rosendal. The place is, as I told you, Danish; but I should like to hear how it looks through English spectacles."
The Complete Angler. The interior of Rosendal had been painted, and sketch plans of the different floors and rooms had been submitted to Mrs. Hardy.
They replied that they had heard from your London bankers that you had a considerable sum at your disposition in their hands, and that your yearly income was considerable, and that any services I rendered you would be promptly paid for. I accordingly send particulars of Rosendal, which I have already procured for other clients; and I send sketch of the estate.
The result of this visit was a return visit to Rosendal. The exact service and the excellent arrangements of everything had its effect on the Jensens, and the consequence was that numerous calls were made at Rosendal. Helga had returned to the parsonage, when John Hardy one day came to his mother with a telegram. The steam yacht Rosendal was at Aarhus. "Let us go to Copenhagen, John," said Mrs.
When they came close to the mansion, Hardy said, "Now, here the grounds do not require alteration, provided they were always covered with snow, which, however frequent, is not what we can fall back upon in a summer residence, which Rosendal is.
"John will remain at Rosendal for a month, and then go to England for the winter, and come to you again in May." The Pastor took several long pulls at his pipe and created a cloud of smoke. At last he said "I have not thought of it, Mrs. Hardy." And it was plain he had not. "I will, then, say what I think," said she. "The wedding should be at your church; and will you marry them?"
"I have only asked Sir Charles Lynton to dinner, John," said Mrs. Hardy. "I was afraid Helga might not be at her ease with a party of perfect strangers the very first day she is here." The Pastor was delighted with Hardy Place. "I see now," he said, "how you knew how to deal with Rosendal. Your English landscape gardening is good. I never saw so beautiful a place!
