      CHAPTER I

      ALL IS WELL WITH MONI

      It is a long, steep climb up to the Bath House at Fideris, after leaving the road leading up through the long valley of Prättigau. The horses pant so hard on their way up the mountain that you prefer to dismount and clamber up on foot to the green summit.

      After a long ascent, you come first to the village of Fideris, which lies on the pleasant green height, and from there you go on farther into the mountains, until the lonely buildings connected with the Baths appear, surrounded on all sides by rocky mountains. The only trees that grow up there are firs, covering the peaks and rocks, and it would all look very gloomy if the delicate mountain flowers with their brilliant coloring were not peeping forth everywhere through the low pasture grass.

      One clear summer evening two ladies stepped out of the Bath House and went along the narrow footpath, which begins to mount not far from the house and soon becomes very steep as it ascends to the high, towering crags. At the first projection they stood still and looked around, for this was the very first time they had come to the Baths.

      It is not very lively up here, Aunt, said the younger, as she let her eyes wander around. Nothing but rocks and fir woods, and then another mountain and more fir trees on it. If we are to stay here six weeks, I should like occasionally to see something more amusing.

      It would not be very amusing, at all events, if you should lose your diamond cross up here, Paula, replied the aunt, as she tied together the red velvet ribbon from which hung the sparkling cross. This is the third time I have fastened the ribbon since we arrived; I don't know whether it is your fault or the ribbon's, but I do know that you would be very sorry if it were lost.

      No, no, exclaimed Paula, decidedly, the cross must not be lost, on any account. It came from my grandmother and is my greatest treasure.

      Paula herself seized the ribbon, and tied two or three knots one after the other, to make it hold fast.
