Seiler wished to share all his occupations, following him in his rounds in the Grinderwald and Entilbach. Yeri Foerster often shook his head, saying: "I never knew a more honest or better judge than Mr. Zacharias Seiler. When I used to bring my reports to him, formerly, he always praised me, and it is to him that I owe my raise to the rank of Head Forester.

This day fortnight, or three weeks at the latest, Karl Imnant shall be Assistant Forester of the Grinderwald, and I ask the hand of your daughter Charlotte for this brave young man."

"And she she?" stammered Zacharias. "She loves me also! Oh, you need have no fear if you are one of her relations. We were betrothed at the Kusnacht feast. The fiancés of the Grinderwald and the Entilbach have the right to visit in the night. It is a custom of Unterwald. All the Swiss know that." "Yeri Foerster Yeri, Charlotte's father, never told me."
You know the son of the forester of the Grinderwald, do you not?" "Karl Imnant, why yes, sir!" "He is a worthy young man, and well behaved, I believe." "I think so, Monsieur." "Is he capable of succeeding his father?"
Who would have thought that a storm on the lake would have caused all this mist? Now one must fold up its wings and crawl about like a wretched caterpillar. "Then again, after a few moments' silence "'How I enjoyed myself under the lofty pines on the Grinderwald! How the honey-dew dropped from the sky! It fell from every branch.
