421
constructed buildings in the national style of
architecture, highly ornamental — water running, hot and
cold, in all directions. Three hundred and forty cows
form the establishment; to each milkmaid is allotted
twenty cows; and the servants, farm dependants, and
all, sit down to dinner each day, a hundred in number.
120 lbs. of butter is made every morning in summer:
pats as big as cart-wheels, yellow as saffron, though
none is added. Near the doorway stood, colossal, a
tun of cream—not quite as large as the Heidelberg, but
fit to bathe a Homan empress or to drown some
milk-and-water Clarence.
And now the sun is set we bid adieu to our
hospitable host and his amiable daughter, charmed with their
kindness, having spent a most pleasant day at
Adelers-borg. A three hours’ drive brought us to Kallundborg.
