Also, he perceived that he still wore a strained, hunted air, more strained and hunted by far than at their last talk. He walked briskly up to him and said: "Good afternoon.
A gamekeeper's hut stood near the entrance of the wood; he had much recklessness in him, and no caution. He entered through the half-open door, and asked the keeper, who was eating his sausage and drinking his lager, for a meal.
