six in the evening
`` I have promised to marry you , John , '' said Helga , `` and it is not whether your house is beautiful or not ; wherever you live I will give my life to you . '' `` Bless you , dearest , '' said John , `` I will never forget what you say ; '' and he never did . When the yacht had cleared the Christiania Fjord , the night was fine and clear , but a breeze sprang up from the westward , and grew fresher towards morning . This had the effect of sending the yacht along under sail and steam , and at eight o'clock the next day the pilot was sent ashore at Frederikshavn with a telegram for Pastor Lindal , that they hoped to arrive at Aarhus at six in the evening . `` When are you going to marry your Scandinavian princess , John ? '' asked Mrs. Hardy , when she was settled in her usual place on deck . `` I am afraid to say anything , mother , to Helga , '' replied her son .
