The fugitive mounted and was instantly off again, while his pursuers thought it best to slowly ride their jaded nags back to town. The new superrector, young Ignatius Zwirina, calculated thus: Valentine Kalondai will one of these days come back of his own accord to the neighborhood of Kassa.
Now at this very time, there came from that part of the land which both Hungary and Transylvania claimed as their own, a person of great distinction, Belisarius Zurdoki by name. One of his ancestors had returned to Hungary from Wallachia with great treasures, and this his descendant had also the reputation of being a very rich man. Zurdoki made a great display at Kassa.
We laid the good man in the churchyard ditch in the place intended for Michal, and all the asses of the town will come and nibble their thistles over his head from one year's end to the other." "Listen how the ghosts are laughing!" "I would not go among them if they gave me the whole city of Kassa." Even the howling wind seemed to take up the ghostly laughter and carry it on further.
You, squire, must seek a farm laborer's place in the same town. The rest depends entirely on yourselves. If once you are caught together, you'll not be allowed to depart thence except as man and wife, and then you can go to Where did you say you lived?" It was just on the tip of Valentine's tongue to say Kassa, when Simplex anticipated him and said Klausenburg, which is in the opposite direction.
Suddenly she heard a soft knocking at the door, and the voice of Dame Zudár inquired: "I say, Betsey! is your father asleep?" "Yes," stammered the little girl. "Some people have come hither from Kassa, they don't understand German, come out and speak to them!" The little maid hastily put on her clothes and, opening the fast-locked door, went out into the kitchen.
And then, his heavy fist still reposing on the bundle of documents, he requested the conrector to fold together a sheet of paper and, "fracto margine," to write, in the name of the town council, a letter of citation to the headsman of Zeb, Henry Catsrider, bidding him, as in duty bound, to appear within eight days at the city of Kassa, in order to execute the law's sentences which had been passed that day, copies of which were sent him.
Yet her happiness was only to last till she got to church. The old cathedral of Kassa had again fallen into the hands of the Protestants, and they now held divine service in it. The first row of pews was assigned to the wives of eminent burgesses who had held office in the town. Among them sat Dame Sarah, for her late husband had been sheriff, and she herself was a rich woman.
With the permission and consent of the sheriff of Kassa, I hereby challenge you in the name of the good and valiant Valentine Kalondai, to break with him, according to ancient law and custom, one, two, or three lances, as the case may be.
He could scarcely wait patiently for the heyduke to bring it to him. It was bound in heavy morocco covers, and when Zurdoki opened them he found nothing inside but a mirror. In that he read that Hommonai could not be jealous of so ugly a face as his. He dashed the mirror to the ground and rode away from Kassa that very day. The goal of his journey was his castle at Saros.
You may be quite sure that I have not come all the way to your dismal town of Kassa for my own amusement, but because I have been sent thither.
