midday
Wally shot by Afra like a queen , so that she had to cling to her companion ; she had almost run over the girl , and every one turned to look after her . The men said no more beautiful maid was to be found in all the Tyrol , but the women were bursting with envy . `` She looks rather different now to what she did up on the Hochjoch , with a dog 's hole to live in and neither combed nor coiffed -- like a wild thing ! '' said Joseph , who was standing not far off , and looked at her with wondering eyes ; then he nodded a farewell to Afra , and quitted the crowd ; he wanted to be home by midday . But Afra hastened after Wally . Her pretty blue eyes sparkled with tears , like water sprinkled on a fire ; she was beside herself with anger , and so was the innkeeper 's wife . They caught up Wally at the village inn .
