Sicher wird (unsere Hütte) nicht anders gewesen sein, als nun eben die Alphütten sind, die den Winter über leer stehen, und das Schreckliche ist allein in meiner Phantasie. Daß dies der Fall sein muß, glaube ich daran zu erkennen, weil ich sie immer mit feuchtem Moos überwachsen vor mir sehe, und das sieht man doch an Alphütten nicht, scheint mir.
