"But he will cut it up and make all sorts of changes!" said Helga, in a disappointed tone. "Yes," said Hardy; "and I see you think that it would not be the same old Rosendal to you again; but you have not seen how pretty the surroundings of our English homes are made by these means, and the exercise of judicious taste."
The bailiff's wife, however, appeared disquieted, and the Pastor asked what was the matter. "Only that the owner of Rosendal should sit at the head of the table, instead of between two boys," replied she. "The owner of Rosendal!" exclaimed the Pastor. "Yes. There he sits!" said the bailiff's wife, pointing at Hardy. "How do you know I am the owner of Rosendal?" asked Hardy.
I can listen, but when Helga has filled my pipe, can make any allowance then, for anybody's prejudices, even an Englishman's." "Rosendal is a place with an accidental, peculiar beauty," said Hardy. "The configuration of the land is adapted to form a shelter to the beech trees, while the little lake is just in the right place to produce a pretty effect.
Several pike were brought ashore, but none of any size. It had been the habit of the former owner of Rosendal to use nets, and take out the largest fish, so as not to allow a few monsters to tyrannize over the rest of the fish in the lake. The boys had seen similar tackle to the English trimmers, but neither so neat nor effective.
There is no reason to delay the happiness of their young life. They can remain near you at Rosendal for a month, and come to England for the winter, and return to you in May." Helga was present, and heard all Mrs. Hardy had said. She put one hand on her father's shoulder. "Father," she said in Danish, "I will wait your wish and time." "Mrs.
"You have heard me say that I like Rosendal as it is, and you exhibit your English ideas to show how uncivilized and wanting in taste I am." "But are you not imputing evil," said Hardy, "like Kirstin, the grossly suspicious?" Helga blushed and said nothing, and Pastor Lindal determined to tell Hardy what Kirstin had imputed to him.
"But it would not be the same Rosendal to me," said Helga, unconsciously uttering the very thought Hardy had read in her handsome face. "Possibly not," replied Hardy; "but your first exclamation would be that you could not have believed Rosendal could have been made so beautiful. A natural gem must be polished to exhibit its full beauty."
A few days after, John Hardy and his mother and Helga Lindal called at the Jensens'. John frankly told them the story of his engagement, and, as he was going to be married in Denmark, asked the two Frøken Jensens if they would be bridesmaids. Helga wished it. Mathilde Jensen reminded Hardy that she had said he bought Rosendal because he wanted to marry Helga Lindal.
It must, however, be recorded that notwithstanding the interest John Hardy had in such lore as the Pastor possessed in such rich abundance, he was very much interested in another direction. At length, after much absorbing contemplation, he said, "I never saw such blue as there is in your eyes, Helga!" The next day they returned to Rosendal, and Pastor Lindal to his parsonage with Helga.
"If you did not reside at Rosendal, the bailiff's accounts could be checked either by me or any other person you thought proper, and the place visited twice yearly, to report the condition and the state of the property. "I will ascertain the exact sum that will be accepted, if you desire it; but it will take time negotiations for large properties are often much protracted in Denmark.
