And now they stood near the forester's low house, and saw the long gray benches set all about, and people dancing under the trees in the last rays of the sun. Beate greeted the forester's family, and introduced her guest to them. "Who are all these people?" asked Herr Kosch. "Oh, nothing but a bowling party." "Would they allow us to join their dance?"
