Gudrun, who had been watching Gerald in the Reunionsaal, suddenly thought: 'He should have all the women he can it is his nature. It is absurd to call him monogamous he is naturally promiscuous. That is his nature. The thought came to her involuntarily. It shocked her somewhat. It was as if she had seen some new MENE! MENE! upon the wall. Yet it was merely true.
He was a Tyrolese, broad, rather flat-cheeked, with a pale, pock-marked skin and flourishing moustaches. 'Would you like to go to the Reunionsaal to be introduced to the other ladies and gentlemen? he asked, bending forward and smiling, showing his large, strong teeth. His blue eyes went quickly from one to the other he was not quite sure of his ground with these English people.
If she could but come there, alone, and pass into the infolded navel of eternal snow and of uprising, immortal peaks of snow and rock, she would be a oneness with all, she would be herself the eternal, infinite silence, the sleeping, timeless, frozen centre of the All. They went back to the house, to the Reunionsaal. She was curious to see what was going on.
Luckily there came a day of snow, when they must all stay indoors: otherwise Birkin said, they would all lose their faculties, and begin to utter themselves in cries and shrieks, like some strange, unknown species of snow-creatures. It happened in the afternoon that Ursula sat in the Reunionsaal talking to Loerke. The latter had seemed unhappy lately.
The Germans peeped in at the door, called a word to the waiter, and went away again. It was not meal-time, so they did not come into this dining-room, but betook themselves, when their boots were changed, to the Reunionsaal. The English visitors could hear the occasional twanging of a zither, the strumming of a piano, snatches of laughter and shouting and singing, a faint vibration of voices.
He was unhappy too because he spoke no English and he was not sure whether to try his French. 'Shall we go to the Reunionsaal, and be introduced to the other people? repeated Gerald, laughing. There was a moment's hesitation. 'I suppose we'd better better break the ice, said Birkin. The women rose, rather flushed.
