"Look ye, comrade Simplex," said Valentine, "our present campaign will be my ordeal. You have told me that my poor Michal is unhappy and wants to see me; that she has never reached Great Leta, that she has been shamefully deceived by her husband; that she suffers much, and is exposed to indescribably great dangers.
He looked at his watch again, and held it to his ear, and consulted it once more before he placed the tiny gold disk again in his pocket. 'This won't do, he muttered. With one of the candles in his hand he went out and made a hurried, peeping exploration, and soon, for the rooms were quickly counted in Redman's Farm, he found her chamber small, neat, simplex munditiis.
The language of the vulgar is a sort of Tarpeia. We have therefore relieved it of as many gems as we were able, and in the foregoing scene presented it to the gaze of our readers simplex munditiis.
Meanwhile Simplex explored every hole and corner of the ruins to see if he could discover any hidden treasure which the robbers might have left behind, while Michal searched in the grass, which had been protected from the snow by the overhanging pine branches, for gentian and wood angelica, and great was her joy when she discovered some specimens of those wonder-working herbs.
A 50 horse simplex at Marseilles, in Barataud's flour mill, is said to have run for the last 2 years on 1.12 pounds of English anthracite per effective horse power; and thus M. Witz says his predictions of 10 years ago, that the gas producer would some day replace the boiler, are being verified in such a way as to surprise even himself.
Simplex accepted the commission, went straight to the sheriff, and informed him that Valentine Kalondai desired to challenge Ignatius Zwirina to fight him with lances, according to ancient law and custom.
With that he threw off his jacket, and called to the crowd around: "Whoever will come and help me, shall have my foxskin jacket!" "Here I am!" cried a well-known voice, and the faithful Simplex ascended to the scaffold. "Help me to lay her in the coffin!" said Valentine; "and then don't forget what I asked you to do."
The Hungarian captain now set his third division in motion, in which were also Valentine and his comrade Simplex. Dame Sarah, from the opposite shore, saw how they charged the foe. "Why, the plucky lad sits on horseback as if he had never learnt anything else all his life! If only his poor father could see him!"
So Simplex had to testify in writing that the Turks had shown him all possible kindness. Then the fetter was taken off one foot and fastened to his girdle as a sign that he was half free; but he had to go about with the chain on the other foot till his good friend came to take it off.
There were two very pleasant Americans, who spoke American, going on in the diligence at half-past five in the morning, on their way over the Simplex. One of them was accustomed to speak good, broad English very distinctly to all races; and he seemed to expect that he must be understood if he repeated his observations in a louder tone, as he always did.
