But he had never written a line of that, nor of that cold, bright Christmas day with the mountains showing across the plain that Barker had flown across the lines to bomb the Austrian officers' leave train machine-gunning them as they scattered and ran. He remembered Barker afterwards coming into the mess and starting to tell about it. And how quiet it got and then somebody saying, "You bloody murderous bastard."
Those were the same Austrians they killed then that he skied with later. No not the same. Hans, that he skied with all that year, had been in the Kaiser-Jägers and when they went hunting hares together up the little valley above the sawmill they had talked of the fighting on Pasubio and of the attack on Pertica and Asalone and he had never written a word of that. Nor of Monte Corno nor the Siete Communi nor of Arsiero.
How many winters had he lived in the Vorarlberg and the Arlberg (сколько зим он прожил в Арльберге[9] и Форарльберге[10])? It was four and then he remembered the man who had the fox to sell (четыре, и тут он вспомнил человека, который продавал лису) when they had walked into Bludenz that time to buy presents (в тот раз, когда они шли в Блуденц покупать подарки), and the cherry-pit taste of good kirsch (и славный кирш с привкусом вишневых косточек: «вкус вишневых косточек славного кирша»; pit — /амер./ фруктовая косточка; kirsch — кирш, вишневая водка /от нем. Kirsche — вишня/) the fast-slipping rush of running powder-snow on crust (вихрь снежной пыли, разлетающейся по насту: «быстро скользящее мчание бегущей снежной пыли на насте»; crust — корка, корочка; снежный наст), singing "Hi! Ho! said Rolly!" (песню "Хай-хо, — сказал Ролли!") as you ran down the last stretch to the steep drop (когда скатываешься на последнем участке перед крутым спуском; stretch — протяжение, простирание; участок, отрезок; to stretch — вытягивать, растягивать; простираться, тянуться /в пространстве/), taking it straight (двигаясь по прямой; to take — брать; держаться, двигаться /в каком-либо направлении/; straight — прямой; прямо, по прямой линии
