"And are you not preparing for defense?" "To what purpose? they will kill us all. I am quite prepared for what must inevitably happen." "But it will not happen if we defend ourselves courageously. We are eight men the walls of the castle are strong the besiegers have no guns, and no place to protect them; we may hold out for days until assistance comes from Kolozsvar."
As Herrmannstadt and Kronstadt are chiefly inhabited by Saxon immigrants, and Maros Vásárhely is the central place of the Szeklers, so may Klausenburg, or rather Kolozsvár, as it is rightly named, be considered the Magyar capital of Transylvania. The gaieties of the winter season had not commenced when I was there, but I understand the world amuses itself immensely.
"I have no relatives or friends that I can invite to my wedding," answered Blanka, gently, "but I shall feel very happy if all your family can be present, even to your youngest brother, whom we met in Kolozsvar. You must send for him to come home." "He will be there, dear heart," Aaron assured her. "And stay!
"I will give you a disguise; hasten to Kolozsvar and assemble your comrades, then return and protect your house. I will wait you there, and man to man, in open honorable combat, the strife will no longer be ignominious." "Thanks, thanks!" murmured the youth, pressing the Decurio's hand.
In a few minutes the young man, disguised as a Wallachian peasant, was hastening on foot across the hills of Kolozsvar. It was past midnight. The inhabitants of the Bardy castle had all retired to rest. The iron gate was locked and the windows barred, when suddenly the sound of demoniac cries roused the slumberers from their dreams.
Haste, and lose no time! If you delay you will bring mourning on your own head and disgrace on mine!" In a few minutes the young man, disguised as a Wallachian peasant, was hastening on foot across the hills of Kolozsvar. It was past midnight. The inhabitants of the Bardy castle had all retired to rest.
Evening was drawing on, and a slight transparent mist had overspread the valley. Imre was desirous of reaching Kolozsvar early on the next morning, and continued his route all night. About midnight the moon rose behind the trees, shedding her silvery light over the forest. All was still, excepting the echo of the miner's hammer, and the monotonous sound of his horse's step along the rocky path.
Near the Balyika Gate we shall find a signal: a cord will be stretched from one rock to another, and a red rag hung on it if danger threatens, but a green twig if all is well." "And when you first proposed in Kolozsvar that we should go home by way of Torda Gap, did you know the perils we should have to face?" "Certainly," replied Aaron.
So Matykó had to own that his master had never been to Bohemia at all, but had always gone to Szeged or to Kolozsvár, where Gyuri had been at school. Oh! that sly Pál Gregorics, how he had cheated his relations! Now it was as clear as day why he had turned all his possessions into money, of course he had given it all to that boy. But had he given it him?
The gentlemen propose to set out for Torda this very night, because to-morrow is the great market-day in Kolozsvar, and there'll be troops of peddlers and dealers of all sorts coming into town, and farmers driving their cattle and sheep and swine, so that you couldn't possibly make head against them if you should wait till morning."
