We steamed out leisurely, for there was no need to hurry with the day before us. We soon settled ourselves for a long journey, noted the bag in which the whisky flask was kept, and then commenced accumulating the fines for dropping into Norwegian in our conversation. I was treasurer for the money, which was as well, as I was in no danger of losing an ore for not talking in English, whilst I was able to look out the more sharply for those who traversed the agreement. As we reached the borders of Lake Mjosen we were ready for our breakf...
