Had Michel been before him, Andras would have seized the young man by the throat, and strangled him on the spot; but, when he reached the Rue d'Aumale, he did not find Menko. "The Count left town yesterday," said the servant, in answer to his question. "Yesterday! Where has he gone?" "The Count must have taken the steamer to-day at Havre for New York.
There was in her look fright, sudden, instinctive fright, a fright which turned her very lips to ashes; and she recoiled, her eyes returning fascinated to the package, while Andras, surprised at the unexpected expression of the Tzigana's convulsed features, exclaimed, in alarm: "What is it, Marsa? What is the matter?" She tried to smile. "Nothing I do not know!
He was, perhaps, since the death of Prince Tchereteff, the only man General Vogotzine had seen in his niece's house, and Marsa was always strangely happy when Andras came to see her. "Mademoiselle is very particular when Prince Zilah is coming to Maisons," said her maid to her. "Because Prince Zilah is not a man like other men. He is a hero.
The door of Andras's carriage was open; Marsa entered it, and Andras, with a smile of deep, profound content, seated himself beside her, whispering tenderly in the Tzigana's ear as the carriage drove off: "Ah! how I love you! my beloved, my adored Marsa! How I love you, and how happy I am!"
The name of Prince Andras Zilah was traced in clear, firm handwriting, and, in the left-hand corner, Michel Menko had written, in Hungarian characters: "Very important! With the expression of my excuses and my sorrow." And below, the signature "Menko Mihaly." The domestic was still standing there, hat in hand.
'Do you mean to tell me that a jump, which the weakest Lapp boy would make nothing of, is beyond your strength? The Stalo grew red and angry when he heard these words, just as Andras meant him to do. He bounded into the air and fell straight into the river.
I have seen you once more; forgive me, and let me disappear; but, at least, carrying away with me a word from you which is not a condemnation." "I might forgive," said Andras; "but I could not forget." "I do not ask you to forget, I do not ask you that! Does one ever forget? And yet yes, one does forget, one does forget, I know it.
But I did not wish my vengeance to arrive too late, when what I had assumed the right to prevent had become irreparable." "I do not understand exactly," said Varhely. Menko glanced at Valla as if to ask whether he could speak openly before the Italian. "Monsieur Angelo Valla was one of the witnesses of the marriage of Prince Andras Zilah," said Yanski.
Not that that would have mattered, for he was a good swimmer; but Andras drew out the bow and arrows which every Lapp carries, and took aim at him. His aim was good, but the Stalo sprang so high into the air that the arrow flew between his feet.
That very evening he was to be in the house of Marsa Laszlo Marsa who bore, in spite of all, the title and name of the Zilahs. Was it possible? After the marriage, after this woman's vows and tears, these two beings, separated for a time, were to be united again. And he, Andras, had almost felt pity for her!
