Promise me, for her sake," he continued earnestly, pointing to Jolanka, "that you will not go to Hungary." Imre hesitated. "I cannot promise what I am not sure I shall fulfill; but I shall remember your advice." Numa took the hands of the two lovers, and, gazing long and earnestly on their faces, he said, in a voice of deep feeling, "You love one another?" They pressed his hand in silence.
They were dressed alike, and the resemblance between them was so striking that they were constantly mistaken. They were twin- children of the young couple. At the lower end of the table sat Imre Bardy, a young man of twenty, whose handsome countenance was full of life and intelligence, his figure manly and graceful, and his manner courteous and agreeable.
Accursed be the sun that rises after such a night!" The Wallachian pointed to a large heap of fresh-raised mould. "They are all there!" he said. Imre fell from his horse without another word, as if struck down. His companions removed him to a little distance, where the grass was least red. They then began to dig twelve graves with their swords. Imre watched them in silence.
"Then one of them must be alive!" cried Imre, a slight gleam of hope passing over his pale features; "which is it? speak! Is there not a young girl with golden locks among them?" "I know not," stammered his comrade, in great embarrassment. "You do not know? go and look again." His friend hesitated. "Let me go I must know," said Imre impatiently, as the young man endeavored to detain him.
The old lady sat in her great armchair, which she seldom quitted, and as she heard the clash of Imre's sword, she looked up and asked who was coming. "It is Imre!" said the fair-haired maiden, blushing, and her heart beat quickly as she pronounced his name.
"So in order to give me the pleasure of having father near me at my farewell feast, Móritz and Jenö and Imre and Jankó are going to fasten long poles to his chair and carry him to the schoolroom and back. Isn't it good of them? And I think they mean to do the same thing to-morrow and carry him to church. We are going to put his bunda round his shoulders. He has not worn his bunda for two years. .
When I am absent you need have no anxiety, for these walls are impregnable, and if anyone should dare offend you by the slightest look, that moment shall be the last of his mortal career. And when I am at home you have nothing to fear, for woman's image never dwelt within my heart. Accept my poor couch, and may your rest be sweet! Imre Bardy slept on it last night."
A vigorous slash with which Imré severed the arm of the most powerful of the peasants, clean off at the elbow, somewhat damped the fighting ardour of the crowd, which drew back to curse and swear at a distance.
He seemed unconscious what they were about. When they had finished the graves they proceeded to open the large pit, but the sight was too horrible, and they carried Imre away by force. He could not have looked on what was there and still retain his senses. In a short time, one of his comrades approached and told him that there were only eleven bodies in the grave.
Two hours later they perceived in the wayside woods, concealed among the bushes, three figures which rose to their feet on perceiving the soldiers, and one of them came rapidly towards them, and was so out of breath when he reached them that he could not speak a word, and would have fallen if Imré had not supported him against his saddle. Then Imré recognised the worthy Leather-bell.
