Then a dog appeared, a half dozen bounds behind the madly-racing fox[21]
From the topmost eminence of Little Sister, he had viewed a breath-taking array of other peaks[31]
Caesar stayed just far enough behind to avoid stepping on the tail of either ski[57]
He saw Franz and Caesar.... "Hello, fellow travelers!" he called cheerfully. "I am Father Benjamin."[75]
Presently the boy understood.... The Hospice must be visible from as great a distance as possible[89]
Suddenly, Caesar left Franz's side, bounded ahead and seized the priest's habit in his great jaws[111]
But it was not until past noon of the following day, during a lull in the storm, that Anton did return[125]
Suddenly Franz remembered when Caesar had found Emil Gottschalk buried in the snow[149]
