"Look now!" replied Master Boltay; "the gentleman left this ring with me, and I am to send it back in case you reject his offer." "Did he give you a basket with it?" inquired the roguish damsel. "No need of that; I knew how it would turn out," replied Boltay, laughing. And, indeed, he was beside himself with joy.
It was therefore with a very surly look that Master Boltay, standing outside his door one day, beheld a handsome carriage stop in front of his house, and a heyduke assist an elderly Hungarian gentleman to descend therefrom. The old gentleman approached Master Boltay with a very amicable air, and, bidding the heyduke remain behind, said to the artisan "Sir, is this the house of Mr. Boltay?"
