as most Englishmen do, and having very pale and
rather thin whiskers, their faces exhibit very strikingly
the injurious effects of this practice of daily domestic
surgery.
The costume here presents very few peculiarities,
being nearly the same as in London or a large German
city; but white Panama hats, with broad black bands,
prevail among the men.
The hotel charges are rather high in Christiania, being
nearly the same as at our best hotels in England, while
the accommodation is far inferior. I paid for breakfast
2 marks, or about 1s. 91/2d.; dinner, 4 marks, or 3s. 7d.;
Christiania ale, 6 skillings, or 21/2d., per pint bottle;
supper of bread and cheese and claret, 1 mark 20
skillings, about 1s. 7d.; lodging, per night, 2 marks, or
1s. 91/2d.; attendance for two days, 15 skillings, or about
6d., which our host told us was quite sufficient, as he
did not wish his servants to be spoiled by English
lavishness. My companion had some soda-water, which
cost 1 mark, or 103/4d., per bottle, though made in
Christiania.
