Brankley had given Grindelwald a sinister but rather alluring reputation among a large circle of untravelled friends as a place where the insolence of birth and wealth was held in precarious check from breaking forth into scenes of savage violence. "My marriage with Egbert will, of course, enlarge the sphere of my life enormously," pursued Suzette.
They had entered the Canton Valais, and found themselves on the ridge of the hills which can be seen from Grindelwald; but he was still far from his new home. They pointed out to him other clefts, other meadows, other woods and rocky paths, and other houses. Strange men made their appearance before him, and what men!
"Do you think you shall ever be a Fellow, Julian? I should so like you to be?" "And if I am, I shall hope very soon to exchange it for a happier fellowship, Eva." She wouldn't see what he meant, so he said, "Eva, shall I read to you?" "Yes," she said, "I should like it so much; I used to enjoy so much the poetry we read at Grindelwald." He took down Coleridge's poems from the shelf, and read
I shut the herbarium. This morning we started early from Grindelwald that is, by eight o'clock. An unclouded, clear, breezy morning, the air full of the sounds of cascades, and of the little bells of the herds.
When we struck the Mer de Glace, we fell in with so many gaping fissures that we could cross them only by hazardous leaps and bounds. We had not reached the other side before we were met by our porters with the sedan-chair; and we arrived singing and cheering at Grindelwald, where everybody eyed us with as much wonder as if we had risen from the dead.
The one to the left Rollo supposed led to Grindelwald. To make it sure, he pointed to the left-hand road and said to Henry, "To Grindelwald?" "Yes, sir," said Henry, "to Grindelwald." The scenery now became more wild than ever.
All of his six-and-twenty years that he could recollect had been passed in a châlet on the Scheidegg above Grindelwald, his only companion an elderly recluse who had deliberately cut himself off from communion with his fellows. The trouble which had driven Mr. Strange, an author at one time of some mark, into this seclusion, was now as completely forgotten as his name.
This enables people to enjoy all the runs down to Grindelwald, returning to Wengen by train. The Ski-ing is organized and there are good Guides and Instructors. Rinks and a most amusing toboggan run provide for off-days. Skis can be hired locally. GRINDELWALD, 3,468 feet above the sea, is too well-known as a Summer resort to need much description here.
George and Rollo met with various adventures and incidents in going down the next day to Grindelwald which are quite characteristic of mountain travelling in Switzerland. They did not set out very early in the morning, as Mr. George wished to stay as long as possible to gaze on the face of the Jungfrau and watch the avalanches.
The second point is that, personally, my brother and I had reason to be grateful to the deceiving Anstruther. He was certainly the means of introducing a pleasant acquaintance to my brother and to me. Miss Mabel Smith's experience at Grindelwald reminds me of one of my own in the same place during the following year.
