When we started; PEASANT'S HUT. 211 the sun soon sank below the horizon, and our route lay over a flat common without a single object to vary its monotony. The road, con- sidering that it was nothing but a Moldavian wagon track, was pretty good ; though every now and then we were sadly jolted by a rut or hole; while the frail bridges crossing the streams or quagmires, composed, as they were, of pieces of wood thrown loosely one upon an- other, tottered under our weight. It was nearly ten o'cloc...k when the howling of a number of wolf-like dogs announced that we were in the village of Formosica. We drove to the residence of the boyar, or chief landholder, and requested him to provide us with a lodging. Fortunately, he spoke Ger- man ; and, politely expressing a regret that his own house was full, he sent a man to shew us the next best accommodation in the village. In a few minutes we were at the door of a hut, our entrance into which roused from their slum- bers an old man and his wife, three or four young women, and a girl, who were lying on benches which they readily resigned at the com- mand of their landlord.
