"So it is actually true!" cried Herr Athanas, and rushed up to his own apartments, not without upsetting a few of the card-players on his way. Brazovics was a man of enormous corpulence. His stomach was always half a step in front of him.
He had learned from Katschuka the one thing Athanas had omitted to ask. It was true that the government would this year greatly enlarge the fortifications; but the question was, Where would they begin? For the work would extend over thirty years. Here again Timar had done his rivals a bad turn, which would bring their maledictions down on him.
His debts and liabilities rested on the shoulders of those who had been his good friends, and stood security for him, and among these was my husband. "Then came Athanas Brazovics, and required from the sureties the fulfillment of the contract.
This will serve you as a security that no one may accuse you of having caused my death or embezzled my money. I give you nothing; what you do is of your own kind heart, and God will reward you: He is the best creditor you can have. And then take Timéa to Athanas Brazovics and beg him to adopt my daughter. He has a daughter himself who may be a sister to her.
Then he took the casket under his cloak and led the girl up the steps. The house of Athanas Brazovics was of two stories a rarity in Komorn; for in remembrance of the destructive earthquakes by which the town had been visited in the last century, people usually only built on the ground-floor.
When you told me the name of the ship's owner I was very glad, for Athanas Brazovics is a connection of mine; Timéa's mother was a Greek of his family. I have often shown kindness to this man, and he can return it now. Allah is great and wise no man can escape his fate.
We know by history that most murders are committed on the stairs. Timar had no weapon with him, not even a walking-stick; but Herr Athanas had a stiletto two feet long. When he saw Timar, he put his sword-stick under his arm, and cried aloud as he took off his hat, "Your obedient servant! good-day to you, Herr von Levetinczy!" Timar answered with a "Servant, Nazi off to business again?"
That is the best way to bring these poltroons to their senses; they get startled, their head swims, and before they can turn round they fall into the net of holy matrimony. It is no joke to answer such a question as that. The first thing Timar remarked from the speech of Herr Athanas was that he had again taken too much anisette. Thence this courage.
Here in this casket is about a thousand ducats. Take Timéa to Athanas Brazovics, and beg him to adopt my daughter. Give him the money, he must spend it on the education of the child, and give him also the cargo, and beg him to be present when the sacks are emptied. You understand?" The dying man looked in Timar's face, and struggled for breath. "Yes the Red Crescent!" he stammered.
The color which makes rich and poor alike. Athalie and Timéa were dressed alike in black. And if the mourning had consisted only in the wearing of its outward garb! But with the sudden death of Herr Athanas, all the birds of ill omen had collected, as the ravens come and sit in long lines on the roof before a great storm. The first croak was, that the bridegroom sent back his engagement-ring.
