"Nor have I. Then why should we fear the robber?" "Perhaps those who are sitting inside the carriage?" "Her ladyship is sitting within and is now asleep. If I awake her and frighten her, and then we don't find the highwayman she will break the whip over my back. Get up here. It will be good to travel as far as Lankadomb in a carriage, 'sblood."
She could be a very good, quiet, blessed creature, whose faults must be discovered and seen through a magnifying-glass: but if that other heart were once awakened, the old one would never be found again. Every drop of Czipra's blood wished that every drop of "that other's" blood should change to tears. This is how they awaited Melanie at Lankadomb.
"Well, after you left here, they knowing nothing of your departure, Madame Bálnokházy said to her daughter: 'Just for mere obstinacy's sake you must marry Gyáli: let these men see how much we care for their fables! therewith she wrote a letter herself to Gyáli to come back immediately to Lankadomb, and show himself: they were awaiting him with open arms.
"You are very wise to do so. May I know whither?" "Back to Lankadomb." "To Lankadomb? Perhaps you have lost something there?" "Yes, my senses. Well don't look at me so curiously as if you wished to ask whether I ever had any. You and this little girl quite understand each other.
It may be that up to the present they have not molested us in order to please her. But it may be, too, that they have another reason for making Lankadomb their centre of operations. Do you remember that on the pistol you wrenched from that robber were engraved the arms of Sárvölgyi?" "What are you hinting at, uncle?" "I think Sárvölgyi is the chieftain of the whole highwayman-band."
Towards evening Kólya, in ambush at the end of the village, spied the gypsy woman as she came sauntering by Lankadomb, carrying on her arm a large basket as if it were some great weight.
On the right of Lankadomb the dogs were baying restlessly, but the hounds of the castle watchman did not answer them. They were sleeping. Some vagrant gypsy woman had fed them well that evening on poisoned swine-flesh. The robbers reached the castle courtyard noiselessly, unnoticed, and each one at once took the place allotted to him, as Kandur had directed.
