Chapter VII
“We can do it all right,” he burst out at last. “See here!--We’ve got 160 francs left after settling up here. We’ll get Madame here to put us up the usual trampers’ lunch,--that’s one franc each. We’ll walk on to Fiesch and then up to the little Firnegarten Inn--small but clean--on the Fiescher Alp, and stop the night there. That’ll be, say, 10 francs.
