text_original: He made a hedge around his estate, so that the people called the place the Count's Hedge; or, as we say, The Hague. Even to day, within the beautiful city, the forests, with their grand old trees, still remain, and the fish pond, called the Vijver, is there yet, with its swans. On the little island, the fluffy, downy cygnets are born and grow to be big birds, with long necks, bent like an arch.
