On the front of the house was written in large letters, "Post-Tavern by Franz Schoendorfer"; and over this was a large sun-dial, and a half-effaced painting of a bear-hunt, covering the whole side of the house, and mostly red. Just as they drove up, a procession of priests with banners, and peasants with their hats in their hands, passed by towards the church. They were singing a solemn psalm.
So far old Uckermann related to me the first evening, promising to tell me of many more strange doings upon the following morning, which he would try to think over during the night. Of the bear-hunt at Stramehl, and the strange things that befell there. The following morning, by seven o'clock, the old man summoned me to him, and on entering I found him seated at breakfast by the fire.
"There is no need for introductions, I think," said the countess. "We all know M. de Chauxville," replied Paul quietly, and the two men exchanged a glance. De Chauxville shook hands with the new-comers, and, while the countess prepared tea for him, launched into a long description of the preparations for the bear-hunt of the following day.
M. Kollsen began to be anxious to be on the other side of the fiord. It was rather inconvenient, as the two men were wanted to go in different directions, while their master took a third, to rouse the farmers for the bear-hunt. The hunters were all to arrive before night within a certain distance of the thickets where the bears were now believed to be.
Waldron's; he would try to contribute his share of talk and enjoyment; but on another bear-hunt he resolved never to go. A barbarous way of killing pigeons caught in a net. Morning returned; the day rolled away; and the appointed evening found the hunting party at Mr. Waldron's, and the sweet metheglin went round in flowing bowls; and all were jovial and ready with talk, and wit, and glee.
We found a new-made grave, where they had evidently buried the man whom I had shot. We made a thorough search of the whole vicinity, and finally found their trail going southeast in the direction of Denver. As it would have been useless to follow them, we rode back to the station; and thus ended my eventful bear-hunt. We had no trouble for some time after that.
He realized from this night that the situation could only be made possible if he saw her rarely and before people alone with her, human nature would be too strong. So with the most frigid courtesy and ceremony between them the days wore on, and toward the beginning of the following week Gritzko went off with Jack Courtray on the bear-hunt. He could stand no more.
"Rightly said; but tell me, is there anything from which even this bold baron draws back?" "In truth there is one thing, and we who have never left Norway face it quite willingly and joyfully." "And that is ?" "A bear-hunt in winter, over trackless plains of snow, down frightful ice-covered precipices." "Truly thou answerest aright, my comrade.
The yellow rock, with a face like a man's, is the safer; but ach, it is fearful for one who knows not the rocks." "If I know not the rocks, all true German rocks know me," smiled Maximilian, to whom the danger seemed to be such a stimulus that he began to propose the bear-hunt immediately, as an interlude while waiting for the bride.
"But I hate to see them hunted, and wounded, and killed, they suffer so much." "Suffer? Suffer to be killed! Bears suffer to be killed? By hokey, they don't indeed! Not they, they're used to it as eels are to bein' skinned. And haint you heern of the bear-hunt we're goin' to have to-night?" "No, I have not."
