Surely hidden gunpowder had caused that explosion. At that moment no one was at home in this barbarous dwelling. Not a single voice was heard during the burning, save the howling of the terrified wolves round about. At Lankadomb the order of things had changed.
Every impulse guided to the old state of things. Meantime the marriage of Desiderius would be a good influence. He was marrying Fanny. The young couple would, during their honeymoon, visit Lankadomb: true love was an education in itself: and then even cemeteries grow verdant in spring. The two young men reached Szolnok punctually at noon. And thence they returned home. Home, sweet home!
Let us follow that other youth, in whom all that sweet strength for action, which might have brought a mutually-loving heart into the ecstasy of happiness, had changed into a bitter passion, capable of driving a mutually-hating soul to destruction. It was evening when he reached Lankadomb. Topándy was already very impatient.
A half hour is necessary to tell another all about it, half an hour in a carriage: they will remain here meanwhile. We shall fly to Topándy at Lankadomb: by evening we shall have finished all, and to-morrow we shall be here again, like two flying madmen, who are striving to see which can carry the other off more rapidly towards the goal where happiness awaits him.
For weeks that swearing would fill the air in the bog of Lankadomb, where he had made himself at home in the wild creature's unapproachable lair. To Lorand this was all quite bewildering.
The nearest village was not far from Lankadomb; yet before she reached it, Mistress Borcsa's soul was brimming over with wrath. Every man would consider it beneath his dignity to submit tamely to such a dishonor. As she reached the village of her birth, she made straight for the courtyard of her former husband's house.
Some I knew personally, the others by reputation; the latter's acquaintance too was soon made. It struck me as peculiar that Lorand had written to me that he did not wish the elegiac tone of our first gathering to be disturbed by the voice of the stoics of Lankadomb, yet he had invited the whole Epicurean alliance here a fact which was likely to give a dithyrambic tone to our meeting.
The robber-band put the skiffs into the water and started one after the other on their way; they went down until they reached the stream leading to the great dyke, by which they could punt down to the park of Lankadomb, just where the shooting-box was. It was about midnight when they reached it.
While the woman thought of that young man who could fight like a hero; was ready to work like a day laborer, to throw money away like a noble, to fascinate women like an angel, and to blaspheme the powers that be like a devil! In the morning the coach rolled into the courtyard of the castle of Lankadomb.
How beautiful it was to live again, to be happy and gay, to have hopes, expect good in the future, to love and be proud in one's love, to go with head erect, to be all in all to someone! At noon they arrived at Lankadomb. Czipra ran out to meet them and clapped her hands. "You were driven away; how did you get back so soon? Well no one expected you to dinner."
