There was perfect silence, only now and then made audible by the tinkle of a distant cowbell and the Jodel of a Sennerin. Ruth turned again toward the chamois. She could see it now without a glass. But Sepp placed his in her hand. The chamois was feeding on the edge of a cliff, moving here and there, leaping lightly across some gully, tossing its head up for a precautionary sniff.
That evening, when Rex and the Jaeger were fussing over the chamois' beard and dainty horns inside the Huette, Ruth and her father stood without, before the closed door. The skies were almost black, and full of stars. Through the wide fragrant stillness came up now and then a Jodel from some Bursch going to visit his Sennerin.
"Yes and " Ruth stopped, unwilling to say how little relish she felt for the society of the second Sennerin. But Rex and her father were on their feet and speaking together. "We will go and see about the Jagd-huette. You don't mind being left for five minutes?" "The idea! go along, you silly boys!" The colonel came back very soon, and in the best of spirits. "It's all right, Daisy!
Ruth heard it as she leaned back in the deep shade and listened to those silvery melodies and chords of wonderful purity, coaxed from the little zither by Loisl's strong, rough hand, with its tender touch. To all the airs he played her memory supplied the words. Sometimes a Sennerin was watching from the Alm for her lover's visit in the evening.
When Sepp delivered this news to his party they all laughed and said black bread and milk would do. So Nani invited them into her only room the rest of the "Huetterl" was kitchen and cow-shed and brought the feast. A second Sennerin came with her this time, in a costume which might have startled them, if they had not already seen others like it.
