My husband will lead you over the mountain ridge, but let the horse, the mule, the drivers, and the baggage go on with the Polish nobleman; and when they pass over the bridge where Janko bars the way, and when the blackmail has been levied, the drivers can halt at the Praszkinocz csarda with the beasts and the baggage.
First of all you made all four of Hátszegi's horses lame; in the second place you compelled his poor wife to spend a night in a csárdá of the puszta, and in the third place you got so drunk that you began to quarrel with her and at last did not know whether you were boy or girl.
Whereupon Squire Gerzson gave the coachman two florins to speed him on to Oroshaza, where he was to get fresh horses and come on the same night to the csárdá, so that they might be able to set off again before dawn on the morrow.
Maria, on the other hand, required an escort in order to avoid being again detained by the mobs of rustics encamped in front of the csárda. "Bring hither two good horses!" cried Bodza to the boor mounting guard in the corridor, and with that the pair of them stepped forth amidst the peasant host. The peasants were scattered about in groups.
In a few moments she was close up to the house and perceived clearly at last, with a tremor of horror, the spectacle that had long been engaging her attention. Some hundreds of peasants, the dregs of the agricultural population, were swarming in and out of the csárda door, savagely singing and shouting.
"And now, Dame Kardos, will you put the ladies up for the night?" said Hátszegi to the woman of the csárdá. "Certainly," returned the worthy woman, "I have feather mattresses enough and bedsteads enough for as many guests of quality as your lordship likes. This bed will be my lord baron's and this my lady's, and this the lady attendant's!" "Not so quick, not so quick! I shall not lie here."
