Summary "The Danes, Sketched by Themselves. Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Mrs. Bushby is a collection of popular stories from Danish authors, translated into English in the mid-19th century. This volume contains a series of tales that delve into the experiences and narratives of Danish life, highlighting elements of culture, character, and the struggles faced by its people, particularly against the backdrop of historical events. The opening of the volume presents the story "Too Old," centered around a fisherman named Jan Steffens and his young wife, Christine, as they navigate their tumultuous life along the Danish coast. The narrative begins amid a stormy, foreboding evening, highlighting Jan’s gruff demeanor contrasted with Christine’s evident unease and beauty. As Jan prepares to embark on a dangerous mission at sea, tensions rise with the introduction of Kjeld, a young fisherman who harbors feelings for Christine. The emotional complexity unfolds with Christine's conflicted loyalties revealed through her interactions with both men, setting the stage for themes of love, duty, and sacrifice against a historical backdrop of conflict.
