They were four the local notary, a stoutish young man, with his back planted against the warm stove; the estate agent, benevolent Peter Varga, who had asked, as a favour, that he might wear black like the other family servants; the parish priest, and Mike Kis. That worthy youth had quitted the brilliant saloons whose hero he was, to comfort his old friend in the days of his tribulation.
On the fourth day, of all his good friends, officials, domestics, and buffoons, Mike Kis, Martin the former Whitsun King, Master Varga the estate agent, Palko the old heyduke, and Vidra the gipsy, were the only persons who remained with John Kárpáthy as he stood at Death's ferry. Even the poet Gyárfás had deserted him, and hastened to congratulate the new patron.
En-sakkus-ana of Kengi conquered Kis, like one of his predecessors who had dedicated the statue, the store of silver, and the furniture of the conquered prince to Mul-lil. Kis claimed sovereignty over the Bedâwin "archers," who had their home in the district now called Jokha. But Kis eventually revenged itself. One of its rulers made himself master of Nippur, and the kingdom of Kengi passed away.
"That is Madame Kárpáthy!" cried Flora in alarm; and she whipped up her horse in the hope of overtaking her friend. The lady was galloping helter-skelter across the plain. Every one fancied that her stallion had run away with her. Flora, old Palko, Mike Kis, and Count Gregory vainly sped after her; they could not get near her: only Rudolf was beginning to catch her up.
And after these things, during a space of about four hundred and fifty years, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. And from that time they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.
They planted extensively the tall red and the white, Which were carried on their shoulders and backs, Home for the sacrifices which he founded . Hau-ki's mother, we have seen, was a princess of Thai, in the present district of Wu-kung, Khien Kau, Shen-hsi. This may have led to his appointment to that principality, and the transference of the lordship from Kiangs to Kis.
The first question he asked was: "Has any one come?" "As many as muck," replied the old servant; thereby showing his appreciation of the arrivals. "Is Mike Kis here?" continued Master Jock, as he drew on his boots. "He was the first of all. His father could not have been a gentleman; no gentleman could have had a son who is up and about two hours after dawn." "Who else is here?"
If the parish would increase kis father's salary by even a hundred dollars, they might get along; but there was such a self-complacent feeling in the village that Mr. Thornton was liberally paid, that he well knew there was no chance of that. Upon this subject he had more than one earnest conversation with his mother.
And you young fellows there, watch over my wife as if she were the light of your eyes." "Oh, we'll look after her!" replied Mike Kis, twirling his moustache. "And I, also, will look after her," cried Lady Szentirmay, with a strong emphasis on the word I; for she had observed that Kárpáthy's good-natured appeal had somewhat confused his wife.
"Here, give us your note, Polly. Of course you'll make me do as you say." "You're just as splendid as you can be," cried Polly joyfully. "There, now, Bensie," pushing the note into his hand, "do hurry, that's a good boy." And in a quarter of an hour, Ben rushed in, meeting Polly in the hall, kis face aglow, and eyes shining. "Here, Polly, catch it," tossing her a note; "that's from Pick."
