KALØ—THORSAGER.
June 24th.—Something invariably occurs to prevent
our starting early: horses were ordered at six, but a
heavy downfall of rain—true outpouring of the heavens
—caused us to defer our departure until seven. The
sun then made his appearance, and, the dust laid, nature
seemed quite refreshed and glistening. We cut the
high road, as we always do when possible, make out
a menu of the places we desire to visit, submit it to
the postmaster, who writes out a ticket, all charges
included, no extra pourboires or pikes, money paid
down. A stated time—rather a long one—given within
which the postilion is compelled to perform the journey,
or none at all, when you wish to loiter on the road,
as to-day for instance. Posting in Denmark, two-horse
carriage and all expenses included, amounts to nine
pence per English mile.
Our road runs along the bank of the horde, a
charming drive; as we approach the further end the ancient
castle of Kalø—where in early days was founded a
cloister by some English monks—stands picturesquely
planted. You may reach it on foot when the water is low.
