Now I think we had better go to-morrow and see Broek, and also Saandam, and I am going to take a commissioner." Mr. George had employed a commissioner once before, as the reader will perhaps recollect, namely, at the Hague; and perhaps I ought to stop here a moment to explain more fully what a commissioner is.
Where the hay was ready to be got in, the men were at work loading it into boats that lay in the little canals that extend along the sides of the dike at the foot of the slopes. Wind mills were to be seen every where, all about the horizon. As the road approached Saandam, these mills became more and more numerous. "I mean to see if I can count them," said Rollo.
"Then there will be some fees to pay, I suppose," said Mr. George, "both at Broek and at Saandam." "Yes, sir," said James. "We pay twenty-five cents at the dairy, twenty-five cents at the garden, and twenty-five to the hostler. That makes seventy-five. And the same at Saandam, to see the hut of Peter the Great, and the house. That makes one guilder fifty centimes." "Is that all?" asked Mr. George.
