Rygtet siger / Rumor has it

Ja - jeg er her endnu. Hunden var lige så glad for at se mig som altid, selvom min nabo gemte sig i min entre. Hundekiksene kan jeg æde selv. Min gode ven er klart mere til frikadeller, så hvis han skal forkæles lidt efter en luftetur, må jeg hellere finde sådan nogle!
I går var jeg en tur gennem Frederiksborg Slot, og så ville jeg lige vise jer en sjov detalje. (Jeg elsker gamle historier!)
Når man kommer ned ad Rendelæggerbakken, kommer man til "Møntporten" (der vistnok er bygget af sten fra Hammershus, hvis jeg husker ret). På begge sider er der nogle unge damer over porten, som I kan se. På ydersiden ser de mindre tilfredse ud, og har en påfaldende stor mave.

Yes - still here. The dog welcomed me as happily as ever, even though my neighbor was hiding behind my door. The dog biscuits are mine to keep (or eat). My furry friend prefers meatballs, so if I really want to spoil him after the walk, I'd better find some of those!
Last night I walked through Frederiksborg Castle, and would like to share a funny detail. (I love these old stories!)
When approaching the castle via "Rendelæggerbakken", you enter through "Møntporten" ("Coin Gate", which I think was built from stones taken from "Hammershus", another old building at Bornholm, if my memory is correct). On both sides of the gate the decoration shows some young ladies, as you see. On the outside, they don't look too happy, and they have very big bellies.

På indersiden ser de måske stadig lidt sure ud, men har påfaldende flade maver. Kan du se det?
Rygtet siger, at dekorationen er til minde om alle de unge tjenestepiger, der ankom glade og slanke, og måtte forlade slottet en del måneder senere, med baby på vej.....
Ret morsomt, ikke?

On the inside they look a bit tense as well, but the bellies are really flat. Can you see it?
Rumor has it, that this decoration is in memory of all the young servants arriving happy and slim, but leaving the castle a few months later, baby on board......
Pretty funny, don't you think?
