"You read it?" she whispered, "I saw you at the Mariínski; and there there are the violets on the table, by the violin. Have you forgotten?" Velasco started: "Who are you?" he exclaimed. "Not Kaya!" He wheeled around and faced her savagely: "You Kaya, never! Was it you who threw the violets you?"
Kaya quivered a moment: "I am Russian," she said, "I am an exile. Don't ask, Monsieur not here! I am I am afraid." The Kapellmeister went on improvising arpeggios on the piano as if he had not heard. He seemed to be pondering. "That name " he said, "Pou Poussin! Someone called on me the other day of that name. I remember it, because when I came in she was gone. Was it you?" The girl stood silent.
To’ Kâya tugged at the spear, and at length succeeded in wrenching it free, and Tŭngku Pa, seeing this, broke cover from behind the jar, and took to his heels. To’ Kâya was too lame to attempt to overtake him, but he cried out: 'He, Pa! Did the men of old bid thee fly from thy enemies? Tŭngku Pa halted and turned round. 'I am only armed with a kris, and have no spear as thou hast, he said.
The dawn was breaking grayly, and the cool land breeze was making a little stir in the fronds of the palm trees, as To’ Kâya passed up the lane, and through the compounds, whose owners had fled hastily from fear of him. Presently, he came out on the open space before the mosque, and here some four hundred men, fully armed with spears and daggers, were assembled.
"I see now what hurt you," said Kaya, without raising her eyes, "You thought I wanted to repay your kindness that can never be repaid; that I was narrow and little, and was too proud to take from your hands what you gave me. Forgive me." The Kapellmeister crossed the room and sat down on the chair that the nurse had left.
Take your arms away." "Your cheek is so soft, Kaya; the centre is like a red rose blushing. Let me rest my cheek against it." "Take your cheek away Velasco." "Your lips are arched like a bow, so red, so sweet! When I press them I press them!" "Velasco Velasco! Take your lips away!" The girl half rose on her pillow, pushing him back; striking at him feebly with her bare hands; "Go don't touch me!
Wan Lingga's men raised their war-yell, and shrieking 'By order of the King! fired into To’ Kâya's house. Old To’ Kâya, thus rudely awakened, set his men to hold the enemy in check, and himself passed out of the house in the centre of the mob of his frightened women-folk.
And I am the Countess Kaya, his his daughter!" Her voice broke, and she was silent for a moment, leaning against the pillow. Then she went on: "There is a society," she whispered, "in St. Petersburg. It is called 'The Black Cross'; and whosoever is a member of that order must obey the will of the order; and when they pass judgment, the sentence must be fulfilled. They are just and fair.
Almost in the centre of the long line of shops and hovels which formed the village of Pĕnjum, stood the thatched house in which To’ Kâya Stia-wangsa lived, with forty or fifty women, and about a dozen male followers. The house was roofed with thatch. Its walls were fashioned from plaited laths of split bamboo, and it was surrounded by a high fence of the same material.
He began opening and shutting the drawers, taking out money and jewels from one, articles of apparel from another. "No collars, no neck-ties!" he said to himself, "How simple to be a gypsey! A knapsack will hold all for her and for me. Kaya! Bózhe moi!" The curtain was drawn back and in the doorway stood a boy. The two gypsies gazed at one another in silence.
