He didn’t" Montage of short shots showing scenes in Switzerland including snowy landscape, a town in snow, skiers, sleighs, ice-skaters, waiters carrying food in the open air, horse riding, sledging, bob sleighing, etc. "About this time, he must have got nervous, for he speeded Switzerland up still further..."
