In front it was too long, and behind it was too short; where it ought to have fitted tightly it bulged out, and vice versa. And yet this dress pleased her. And, stranger still, her husband liked her in it too. The town of Kassa had a lot to say about the lady whom Valentine had brought home as his wife.
David Fröhlich and assisted that gentleman in his Museum Physicum, wherefore the professor loved him dearly, and long ago destined him to be pretty Michal's consort in her journey through life. Valentine Kalondai, indeed, had no need to appropriate a very great amount of learning. He had a rich widowed mother at Kassa, from whom, when he came of age, he was to take over his patrimony.
Now just at that time there was no such apprentice in all the guilds of Kassa, so that there was absolutely no one to take up this unpleasant rôle but the poor, good-natured Turk Ali, who could be persuaded to do anything, and everyone could see his red slippers peeping out from under the horsecloth as the carnival steed pranced along.
But as far as these waylayers were concerned, they felt themselves pretty safe, for they had chosen not the Kassa road but the Gäuz road, and such abductors very seldom ventured on the left bank of the Hernad, because the river is liable to overflow, and thus often prevents them from escaping when hard pressed by pursuers.

Lifelong imprisonment in the treadmill of the civic reservoir, with the sting of conscience in his heart, would be a still greater punishment for him than death." "Pray don't let us have any mawkish sentiment, good Master Sheriff! If we don't kill, people will kill us.
"Ah, well! such a treasure was quite worth the trouble which Squire Valentine took to discover it!" "But, at least, she is of very distinguished parentage: her father was lord-lieutenant of the sheep!" "Such a beauty has not been seen in Kassa for many a long day!" "And all that is as nothing compared with her riches.
His sway extends from the sixteen towns of Zips as far as Kassa, and letters patent from the Emperor and the King of Poland give him the right to kill and torture. Michal spoke not a word, but closed her eyes and lay back in the sledge. The sledge, on quitting the boggy ground and reaching the level turf, again had a smooth course before it where some progress could be made.
If George Rakoczy thinks fit to exchange Hungarian counties for a kingdom, the city of Kassa will also think fit to shut its gates against all suspected persons who cannot give a good account of themselves. As for you, sir, you are my kinsman, and I have hitherto willingly seen you in my house.
