When the doctor left, Hardy decided to remain, as Nils Rasmussen's wife and family were incapable of being of the slightest use. He sent Garth to his lodgings, with orders to come to Rasmussen's at six the next morning. Meanwhile Hardy had been expected at the parsonage, and it grew later and later. "He is stopping with the Jensens," said the Pastor,
"But there is something I think I had better tell you, as there should be perfect confidence, even in thought, between us, my child. When Karl came from the Jensens' the other day, he repeated what Mathilde Jensen said about Hardy buying Rosendal. I think myself it is probable mind, I only say probable. I see he observes everything you do, and that your unfair speeches hurt him.
"One horse is as good as another for you." "Well, well, we'll see," growled the proprietor, but pleased, nevertheless, to see his daughter, like himself, fond of horses. At dinner the conversation turned on Rosendal, which the Jensens had heard Hardy had purchased. "It is a pretty place," said the proprietor, "but the farm is not much. But why did you buy it?
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.
"That may be, little mother," replied Frøken Mathilde; "but Englishmen are very dull, and you had none to talk to." As they rode back to the Jensens' Herregaard, the two girls wanted to race the horses back, to Herr Jensen's and his wife's great alarm.
"It is a day of amusement where a black coat and the notion of a sermon appears out of place." The Jensens insisted on taking Frøken Helga and her two brothers, who, since they had heard that Hardy was to ride, were intensely excited. "I have prayed that you will win, Herr Hardy," said Axel, who was always a quiet lad in manner, and had become more so since his acquaintance with Hardy.
I'll be all right, when I get outside of one of Mam Liz's dinners. It was that baby of Jensen's that kept me. Poor little chap. I thought, two or three times he was going to make a die of it sure, but I guess he'll pull through now." Dr. Oldham knew the Jensens well, eighteen miles over the worst roads in the country.
