The Frisian horse is a noble animal, truly the friend of man; and the Frisians are fond of horses and indulge both in racing and in trotting--or "hardraverij" as they pleasantly call it.

I made a close friend of a Frisian mare on the steamer from Rotterdam to Dort.

At Dort I had to leave her, for she was bound for Nymwegen.

A most charming creature.
Leeuwarden is large and prosperous and healthy.

What one misses in it is any sense of intimate cosiness.
