J ,d M.,,•.,, "" 59 I ~ a ad and di appointed Yoice Gret hen aid good-by to Grand– mama, for Grandmama wa return– ing to th hill of Rome in earch of omethin~ he had lo t many year a o. It "a a. if her eye followed a crim on un t a it ro e like a cloak, onl} to be pulled down out of ·i~ht. G1 tchen, then only tweh·e, wa to remain in witz rland under the care of Fru Lindoff. Grandmama' deare t friend. Although Gretchen wa an av .. ·kward child and frail of limb. her great expre h· e}e reached out to touch the Yery heart of th world; and from h r throat poured h r heart in on cl ar, w t, and golden a the un. et. Gr tchen did not like to practic . How oft n Grandmama or the ro al ingina rna ter ' ould ay, '·Gretchen, you "ill not becom a areat inger if you do not practice." And how often Gr tchen would an wer imply, · One cannot be taught to ing. he mu t be born with it, livin and breathing '' ithin her. Although Gretchen had lived in witz rland a a child, he knew vet)' little of life in the wi Alp · yet retchen found he wa more than welcome with Fru Lindoff, for Herr Lindofi had died everal year be– fore, and the Fru wa quite alone. Th little old lady eem d very plea ed to ee Gretchen. he bustled about. cheerfully a king Gretchen how Grandmama was and telling her of time when he and Grand– mama were children playing upon the e Yet') mountain top , herding the aoat up th teep mountain trail , or perhap ju t tandina quiet– ly looking out 0\ er the ocean of peaceful \alley· b low. ··But my dear," aid Fru Lindoff, ..that wa a Ion~, lona time ago. ' ..Ye ," aid Gr tchen. It wa hard to imagine Grandmama' ever haYin~ be n a child. Gretchen eemed happier than he had e,·er been before. Often he found her elf walking to the very top of a mountain, to tand quieti} o\·erlooking the Yalley of to ing flower . The whole ' orld eemed fairer and wider before her. Then he heard the ong of the mountain and it echoing refrain. I t eemed to beckon her. and he knew he would come back to the e very mountain top orne day to hear it ong on e aaain. It wa a if it were being bound in her heart by invi ible cord . he wondered if Grandmama and Fm Lindofi too. had heard the ong of the mountain o many years ago. Perhap thi i what Grandmama had b en earching for, for o many year .• ow Gretchen knew her mu ic wa a much a part of her a thj ong wa a part of the mountain . Th p ak ro e maje tically before her like tepping tone , and the world ''a a torch blazing with wei– orne. H r power and kill would - arow with the years, and he would do great things in th e year to come. 17
