Bernat bácsi also found himself at last in his element, with ample time and opportunity for anecdotes. Seated on a clump of sod the root side up, with both hands clasping the hilt of his sword, the point of which rested on the ground, he repeated what he had heard from the palatine's own lips, while dining with that exalted personage in the camp by the Raab.
San Bernat!"; the men, with their sleeves and trousers rolled up, or even entirely naked save for the sash that is never removed from the skin of a Valencian peasant; the women, with their skirts raised over their heads for protection, sinking their tanned, skinny, over-worked legs into the slime, and all drenched from head to foot, the wet clothes sticking to their bodies; and at the head, a number of strong young men with four-wicked tapers lighted, sputtering and crackling in the rain and casting a weird flickering radiance back over the clamoring multitude.
She did not ask if she might do so, but flung open the sash, leaned far out, and waved her handkerchief to the vice-palatine, who was driving swiftly across the causeway. When Herr Bernat Görömbölyi, in his character of emissary, arrived at the manor, he proceeded at once to state his errand: "My lovely sister Katinka, I am come a-wooing as this nosegay on my breast indicates.
"Quite!" The count nodded a farewell to the youthful jurist without even inquiring his name; nor did Audiat venture to propound a like question to his future employer. Bernat bácsi did not, as he had promised, return to the manor to tell the baroness the result of his visit. He drove direct to his home.
Will you fill that office? Will you take the desolate maid to your heart? And now, Katinka hugom, give me your answer to the Count's words." With sudden impulsiveness the baroness extended both hands to Herr Bernat, and said earnestly: "With all my heart I consent to be Count Vavel's betrothed wife!" "And I may fly to him with this answer?" "Yes on condition that you take me with you."
Wouldn't it be better to spend the time getting all the valuables out of the houses on the bank? A tempest of protests followed this proposal. "Out with the saint! Out with San Bernat! We want the miracle! The miracle!"
Mobs issued from the dark lanes, paddling in the water like frogs, and raising their war-cry: "San Bernat!
The brothers Farrar, in presenting their claim for indemnity, made the following statement: "On Saturday, March 21, the dwelling house of the coffee plantation Estrella was the object of a wanton attack by the column of Gen. Bernat, operating in that region.
"But how do you know that Satan Laczi and his comrades will join the army?" inquired Herr Bernat. "Satan Laczi told me so himself one night here in the castle. He opened all the doors and cupboards, while I was in the observatory, and waited for me in my study." It was the ladies' turn now to exhibit the liveliest interest.
Will you, Herr Vice-palatine and Colonel, undertake this mission for me?" "Of all my missions this will be the most agreeable!" heartily responded Herr Bernat. "You know to whom I would have you go," resumed the count. "It is not far from here. You know who the lady is without my repeating her name.
