Help yourself to some more whiskey do." "Monsieur," faltered Jokai desperately, "I I can not." "Hunch," said Carl softly. "His Nibs won't drink." Instantly from the wired metal points of Jokai's chair a stinging electric current swept fiendishly through his body. Last night it had goaded him unspeakably. To-night, with every tortured nerve leaping, it was unbearable.
"Monsieur," it was saying, "there are still the questions." With shaking hand Jokai touched a metal king and screamed. The heat and the hell-board hard upon his days and nights of enforced drinking were too much. With a strangled sob, Jokai of Vienna pitched forward upon the board unconscious. Carl swept the metal men away with a shrug. "Poor devil!" he said pityingly.
At the outbreak of the Revolution of 1848, he threw himself in with the supporters of the national cause. From that time until his death which occurred on May 4, 1904 Jokai identified himself considerably with politics.
They deliberated with Imlac what was to be done, and finally resolved, when the inundation should cease, to return to Abyssinia. Timar's Two Worlds Maurus Jokai, by common consent the greatest Hungarian novelist of the nineteenth century, was born at Komarom on February 19, 1825. Trained for the law, as an advocate he achieved the distinction of winning his first case.
Tanqueray"! No, the thing is as impossible in England as the combination of roles in Jokai himself. The idea of letting a man be at once man of letters and man of action! Why, we scarcely allow that a man of letters may occupy more than one pigeonhole! If he is a poet, we will not admit he can write prose forgetting that is just what most poets do.
"You are a thing of steel and infernal fire. I am but human." "There is a way to stop it all," reminded Carl, lazily relighting his cigar. "Why not give me a logical reason for your presence in America?" "I have done so. Have I not said again and again that I am Sigimund Jokai, of Vienna, touring in America?" "You have said so," agreed Carl imperturbably, "but you lie.
This part of the story does not concern America; and the Pole's whole life has been told by Jokai, the Hungarian novelist, and Kotzebue, the Russian dramatist. Benyowsky got passage to Europe from China on one of the East India Company ships, whose captain was uneasy enough at having so many pirates on board.
With unwavering determination in her round, aggrieved eyes, she swept majestically to the bed and shook the sleeper severely. "My good man," she demanded, "what do you mean by lying here on a lace spread with your feet tied and your head scarred?" Jokai of Vienna stirred and moaned. Aunt Agatha fumbled for her smelling salts and administered a most heroic draft.
"Everybody likes your English fiction," replied Baroness B . "It is immensely read, and has helped to promote the knowledge of the language more perhaps than anything else. We, too, have our writers of fiction. Jokai is the most prolific, but he has got to be too much an imitator of the French school.
Most of these defects he shares with such writers as Auerbach, Jokai, and Thackeray, with whom he may be placed in the same class. In passing judgment, it must be borne in mind that the Hebrew writer's life was one prolonged and bitter struggle for bare existence, his own and Ha-Shahar's, for the periodical never yielded him any income.
