Ludwig hurried into the house. In the hall he encountered the little Laczko, who, at sight of the visitor, dropped the boot and brush he held in his hands, and disappeared through a door at the end of the hall. Vavel followed him, and found himself in the kitchen, where the widow of Satan Laczi also dropped to the floor the cooking-utensil she had in her hand.
"Marie!" he gasped, forgetting himself. Then, hastily snatching the candle from the table, he rushed frantically toward the young girl's sleeping-chamber, leaving Satan Laczi alone in his room. Since he had ceased guarding Marie's door at night by sleeping on the lounge in her room, he had cautioned her to lock the door before retiring. Now he found the door open.
Look up come back to life!" And Satan Laczi was such an obedient fellow, he opened his eyes and saw the lady kneeling by his side. Then he opened his lips, and said in a very weak voice: "I should like a drink of water." Katharina made haste to fill the helmet again at her fountain. "Thank you, sister." "Look at me, Laczi bácsi;" commanded Katharina, in a cheerful tone. "Don't you know me?
The Herr Vice-palatine will remember the case Rakoncza Jutka, the wife of the robber Satan Laczi?" "Yes, I remember. She is still in prison," assented the gentleman referred to. "Yes. Well, she has a little son.
"But how do you know that Satan Laczi and his comrades will join the army?" inquired Herr Bernat. "Satan Laczi told me so himself one night here in the castle. He opened all the doors and cupboards, while I was in the observatory, and waited for me in my study." It was the ladies' turn now to exhibit the liveliest interest.
Count Vavel was an athletic man, strong and powerful; but had the room been filled with men as strong and powerful as he, and had they every one hurled themselves upon Satan Laczi, he would have had no difficulty in defending himself. He had performed such a feat more than once.
After inquiring the second time through the door, "Who is it?" and the one outside had answered: "It is I," she became convinced, from the musical feminine tone, that it was not the notorious robber, Satan Laczi, who was seeking admittance. Then she opened the door a few inches, and said: "The Herr Doctor can't go out any more to-night; he has gone to bed, and is poulticing his foot."
When my master has spoken with the woman to whom he intrusted his treasures, and if she has not betrayed him, then I know where he will be to-morrow. And Satan Laczi will be there, too! Then I and my comrades will show them what we can do. But come, we must make haste, and get on as far as possible while the moon is shining." "But I am not properly clad for a journey," interposed Marie.
While so doing her eyes fell on the steel ring on his thumb. "Satan Laczi!" she exclaimed. She put her arms around him, and lifted him to a more comfortable position, wondering the while how he came to be there. Had he failed to find Marie, whom he was to accompany to Raab? Had Cambray, perhaps, prevented her from leaving the castle? She bent over the wounded man and said: "Satan Laczi, awake!
Ultimately, however, the victory fell to the lady. The letter ran thus: "HERR COUNT: I dare say you know that the father of your little protégé is no other than the notorious robber, Satan Laczi, whom it is impossible to capture. The mother of the lad was arrested on suspicion. She lived in the village under her own honest family name Satan Laczi being only a thief's appellation.
