/^\UR relidence at Uleaborg will ever be pleafing to our recol- 
ledtion.' Removed from the world, far from the liftleffnefs 
of diffipation, out of the reach of ceremonious vifits, our time was 
devoted to Rudy, to the chafe, or to the practice of mufic. Our 
hoftefs w r as labouring from morning to night to fupply us w 7 ith a 
plentiful table, and to make our fituation comfortable in every 
other refpedt. She killed calves, pigs and oxen, exprefsly on our 
account. The moft precious fpoils of the fea and rivers were 
procured for us, and purchafed without regard to oeconomy; and 
the reader will probably learn with fome aflonilhment, that for this 
rich and luxurious diet we paid for ourfelves (two perfons) and a 
fervant.
