FLENSBORG.
Chap. III.
we left the horde and its beauties behind us. As we
approached the castle we met crowds of holiday people,
some on foot, others in their stuhlwagens.
The King had just returned after an absence of some
three days, and wreaths, and garlands, and “ vel
kommens,” testified to the loyalty of his subjects. We
drove up to a tidy little inn and there disembarked.
The schloss itself, once a convent, is a large
barracklooking quadrangular building, with three gables, and
flanked at each corner by a round tower,
extinguishercapped. It rises from a lake, and is surrounded on
three sides with water. It has, I dare say, been
venerable, but is now whitewashed. We passed two pleasant
hours enough exploring the fine woods which surround
the lake.
It was nightfall when we left on our way home;
delighted, too, we were with our conveyance, drawn by
a capital pair of horses, who plunged and kicked,
“lustig,” the driver informed me, at the prospect of
returning to their stables.
