M.Fridrikssen was not there.

I learned afterwards that he and the Governor disagreed upon some question of administration, and did not speak to each other.

I therefore knew not a single word of all that was said at this semi-official dinner; but I could not help noticing that my uncle talked the whole time.
On the 15th our preparations were all made.

Our host gave the Professor very great pleasure by presenting him with a map of Iceland far more complete than that of Hendersen.

It was the map of M.Olaf Nikolas Olsen, in the proportion of 1 to 480,000 of the actual size of the island, and published by the Icelandic Literary Society.
