enthusiasm,--and, meanwhile, the Altenfjord altogether disappeared, and
the _Eulalie_ was soon plunging in a rougher sea. They were bound for
Christiania, where it was decided Thelma's marriage should at once take
place--after which Sir Philip would leave his yacht at the disposal of
his friends, for them to return in it to England. He himself intended to
start directly for Germany with his bride, a trip in which Britta was to
accompany them as Thelma's maid. Olaf Gueldmar, as he had just stated,
purposed making a voyage in the _Valkyrie_, as soon as he should get her
properly manned and fitted, which he meant to do at Christiania.
Such were their plans,--and, meanwhile, they were all together on the
_Eulalie_,--a happy and sociable party,--Errington having resigned his
cabin to the use of his fair betrothed, and her little maid, whose
delight at the novel change in her life, and her escape from the
persecution of her grandmother, was extreme.
