He says it's very rough at the Jagd-huette." "Is anyone else there? What does Sepp mean by telling us now for the first time? " demanded the colonel sharply. "He says he was afraid I wouldn't come if I knew how rough it was and that " added Ruth, laughing "he says would have been such a pity! Besides, he thought Nani was alone and I could have had her room while she slept on the hay in the loft.
"No more she can, you dear, good girl!" said Rex, and his eyes shone very kindly. Ruth caught her breath at the sudden beating of her heart. What was left of daylight came through the little window and fell upon her face; it was as white as a flower, and very quiet. Dusk was setting in when Sepp made his appearance.
"I left them visiting Federl and Sepp in their quarters." "Well, you will find us in that dreadful little room yonder. It's the only alternative to sitting in the Bauernstube with all the woodchoppers and their bad tobacco, since out of doors fails us. We must go now and make it as pleasant as we can." Ruth made a motion to go, but Mrs Dene lingered.
Sepp uttered a sudden exclamation and forgot everything but what he saw. He threw his rifle forward, there was a sharp click! the cartridge had not exploded. Next moment he remembered himself and turned ashamed and deprecating to Gethryn. The latter laid his hand on the Jaeger's arm and pointed.
They rose promptly and were moving away; Mrs Dene begged them to remain, and they sat down again, diffidently, but with dignity. "Herr Sepp," said Ruth, smiling a little mischievously, "how is this? Herr Federl shot a stag of eight this morning, and I hear that yesterday you missed a Reh-bock!" Sepp reddened, and laughed. "Only wait, gracious Fraulein, next week it is my turn on the Red Peak."
Sepp solemnly drew forth his flask of Schnapps and, taking off his hat to her, drank "Waidmann's Heil!" a toast only drunk by hunters to hunters. Gethryn shook hands with her twenty times and praised her until she could bear no more. She took her hand from her father's arm and drew herself up, determined to preserve her composure.
For such walkers as they all were the distance they had to go was nothing. Soft afternoon lights were still lying peacefully beside the long afternoon shadows as they approached the little hut, and Sepp answered the colonel's abortive attempt at a Jodel with one so long and complicated that it seemed as if he were taking that means to express all he should have liked to say in words.
I shall confide you both to Sepp and will wait for you at the upper Shelter." "But it's only indignation; it isn't the hip, Father?" said Ruth, still hanging about him, but trying to laugh, since he would have her laugh. He saw her trouble, and changing his tone said seriously, "My little girl, I'm only tired of this scramble, that's all."
Sepp threw down the green sack from his shoulders to the bench before the door and shouted: "Nani! du! Nani!" No answer. "Mari und Josef!" he muttered; then raising his voice, again he called for Nani with all his lungs. A muffled answer came from somewhere around the other side of the house. "Ja! komm glei!"
"Why, this is luxury!" cried Ruth. "Well I think so, too. I'm immensely relieved. Sepp says artists bring their wives up here to stay over for the sunrise. You'll do? Eh?" "I should think so!" "Good! then Rex and I and Sepp and the Dachl" he always would say "Dockles" "will keep guard outside against any wild cows that may happen to break loose from Nani. Good night, little girl!
