The interior of Kapus Benkó's home was as squalid, as forlorn looking as its approach; everywhere the hand of the thriftless housewife was painfully apparent, in the blackened crockery upon the hearth, in the dull, grimy look of the furniture once so highly polished in the tattered table-cloth, the stains upon the floor and the walls, but above all was it apparent in the dower-chest that inalienable pride of every thrifty Hungarian housewife the dower-chest, which in Ilona's cottage was such a marvel of polish outside, and so glittering in its rich contents of exquisite linen.
