There was not a sound in the forest save the indistinct, fluttering sound of the snow falling on the trees. It had been snowing since noon; a little fine snow, that covered the branches as with frozen moss¹, and spread a silvery covering over the dead leaves in the ditches, and covered the roads with a white, yielding carpet, and made still more intense the boundless² silence of this ocean of trees.

 

Before the door of the forester's dwelling³ a young woman, her arms bare to the elbow, was chopping wood with a hatchet⁴ on a block of stone. She was tall, slender, strong-a true girl of the woods, daughter and wife of a forester.

 

A voice called from within the house:

 

“We are alone to-night, Berthine; you must come in. It is getting dark, and there may be Prussians or wolves about.”

 

“I've just finished, mother,” replied the young woman, splitting as she spoke⁵ an immense log of wood with strong, deft⁶ blows, which expanded her chest each time she raised her arms to strike. “Here I am; there's no need to be afraid; it's quite light still.”

 

Then she gathered up her sticks and logs, piled them in the chimney corner, went back to close the great oaken shutters⁷, and finally came in, drawing behind her the heavy bolts of the door.

 

Her mother, a wrinkled old woman whom age had rendered timid, was spinning by the fireside.

 

“I am uneasy,” she said, “when your father's not here. Two women are not much good.”

 

“Oh,” said the younger woman, “I'd cheerfully kill a wolf or a Prussian if it came to that.”

 

And she glanced at a heavy revolver hanging above the hearth
