The gentlemen, wishing to peep into Norway, proposed going to Fredericshall, the first town-thedistance was only three Swedish miles.

Now a Swedish mile is nearly equal to seven English, so that the station was at least twenty miles long.

The expense, including the postillions and other incidental things, does not amount to more than a shilling the Swedish mile.

We had gone about a Swedish mile when the postilions stopped to feed the horses before a house on the Russian side.

"The stations are from one to two Swedish miles apart, and everyone who hires a horse is expected to take good care of him."
