"No longer now Herr Brazovics is dead." "Dead! so he is dead? And his wife and daughter?" interrupted Frau Therese, quickly. "They have lost everything by his death." "Ah, just God! Thy avenging hand has reached them!" "Mother, good mother!" cried Noémi, with gentle entreaty. "Sir, there is one more thing you ought to know.
This was a trick played by Timar especially for the benefit of Herr Athanas Brazovics; and as soon as he had bought the Monostor vineyards, Timar set every lever in motion to prevent the council of war from beginning the fortifications on all points at the same time. Affairs were in this position three days before the time fixed for Athalie's wedding.
The whole day they overwhelmed him with gratitude, and the sixth time they all came together late in the evening and sung in his honor a song of praise out of the hymn-book. But what will his competitors, and especially Herr Brazovics, bring and sing to him when they learn how he has entrapped them about the purchase of the Monostor? The wedding was to be in three days' time.
He guessed rightly that Timar had offered the officials a larger commission than he himself usually did, and that he had thus obtained the profitable bread contract by which Brazovics usually enriched himself. But that he should have made so large a profit out of it on that point he shook his head incredulously.
Timar himself was not a little confused. How was he to introduce the girl and relate how he had come by her, before this officer? Herr Brazovics helped him out of his difficulty. With a great bustle he burst in at the door.
At last he broke silence: "Will you take charge of the money which belongs to the orphan, or shall I give it over to the City Orphanage?" With this hundred-pound insult he succeeded in suddenly silencing both master and mistress. Against such scolds and blusterers, a good round impertinence is the best remedy. Brazovics took the light and said, "All right; bring the money along."
He got rid of his stock of grain, sold his ships, borrowed from the usurers, and made use of trust-money committed to his care. This time he was safe! Timar was in the swim. He was the worst off, for he had bought cheap and would make a very small profit. But this, too, was perfidy on Timar's part. It was a coup aimed at the head of Herr Brazovics.
When that blow fell on us, when I had implored Brazovics on my knees not to drive us to beggary, it struck me that this man had a wife and child. I determined to find out his wife and tell her my misery she would help me and take pity on us. I took my child in my arms and traveled in the hottest part of the summer to Komorn.
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.
