Oh, that lovely northern summer night. One never gets over it in fact or vision. Thank God, that I have seen it. How shal- low and empty one's idea of summer is, until that unspeakable reality, a summer in Sweden, is added to one's previous experi- ence. 297 CHAPTER XVI. The King of Siam in Norrland. The unexpected always happens. Who would think that I, a native born American citizen, should travel to the northern part of Sweden in order to see the King of Siam? But that is just what happened ...to us in that far-away land in the North.

Yes, indeed, a heathen, absohite sovereign did force all Chris- tian travelers in that section of the country to wait until some other time.
