Sometimes old Gaspard took his rifle and went after chamois, and occasionally he killed one. Then there was a feast in the inn at Schwarenbach and they revelled in fresh meat. One morning he went out as usual.
"I made that for you," he said, simply. "Did you like it?" "Like it!" exclaimed Patty, her blue eyes dancing; "I revelled in it! It was wonderful! Was it really impromptu?" "Of course. It was nothing. Any one can play variations on an old song." "Variations nothing!" remarked Patty. "It was a work, a chef d'oeuvre, an opus!" "Yes; Opus One of my new cycle."
