CHAPTER V
LEFT BEHIND
Ne ver in my life have I traveled so far as
when Mother, Karsten and I visited Aunt
Ottilia and Uncle Karl. And so unexpected
as that journey was! I hardly had time to
re-joiee o ver it, even. It was all I could do to
get time to write a post-card to Mina, who was
visiting her grandmother at Horten, to ask her
to come down on the wharf and see me, when
the steamer stopped tliere on its way.
When we are to start on a journey, Father
is always terribly af raid that we shall be too
late for the steamboat.
“ Hurry—hurry,” he keeps saying, as he
goes in and out. Mother gets tired of it, hut
that makes no difference. Besides, all
husbands are like that, Mother savs; unreasonable
when other people go away, and still worse to
travel with.
An hour and a half before the steamboat
