Is he big or little, friendly or haughty? Will he give me the cross himself? Does he like good Carlovitz and Vermuth? Now then, you shall taste some yourself." In vain Timar assured him he must go back that night to Levetinczy, to give orders to the steward to send the tenants for the seed-corn.
He will be an old man before he gets his freedom. And why? In order that Herr Michael Timar, Baron von Levetinczy, may live undisturbed in his forbidden joys on the ownerless island that no one may betray Noémi to Timéa, nor Timéa to Noémi. You never thought of this when you sent Theodor to Brazil, and yet you did count on the chance of opportunity making him into a thief.
'You think Levetinczy is a rich man with a great name a clever man, a happy family man, a faithful subject? I will prove to you that this man, if I can once meet him, will take flight from here next day that he will leave his lovely wife and his house in the lurch, and fly from Hungary, from Europe, so that you will never hear of him again."
Athalie stood there pale with envy, with angrily clinched teeth. Perhaps these might all have been hers! But Timéa's face darkened and grew marble-like again. She looked with indifference at the heap of jewels in her lap. The fire of diamonds and rubies could not warm her. What rich bankers call business filled up the winter season, and Levetinczy began to enjoy his position.
Directly I received your letter I started for Levetinczy, and took, as you desired, the conduct of business into my own hands. I studied book-keeping and learned to deal with figures. I think you will find everything in order the books and the cash balance."
One day Michael said at home that he had to go to Levetinczy, and could hardly get back in less than a month. All his preparations were made for a long absence. When the married couple took leave of each other with a kiss a cool, conventional kiss Athalie was present. Athalie smiled.
Our Herr Johann Fabula had been appointed overseer of the whole flotilla: there was nothing for him to do. "Our gracious master can go and shoot ducks." And Herr von Levetinczy followed this good advice of Herr Fabula. He had a boat brought, and ordered provisions for a week, his gun, and plenty of ammunition to be put in it.
All her doubts vanished, however, when another minister arose, and read from the chancel a document which set forth that the noble Herr Michael Timar von Levetinczy, of the Swiss Protestant Church, had betrothed himself to Fraülein Timéa Susanna von Tschorbadschi, also of the Swiss Protestant religion. Two more weeks must pass before the marriage. Michael spent every day with Timéa.
But look you, there is justice not only on land but by water, for the great thief ran into the net of a still greater, who robbed and murdered him. And this tip-top thief, who deprived the other of his property and his life was you brother of my heart Michael Timar Levetinczy, the man of gold!" said the fugitive, as he rose and bowed mockingly. Timar answered not a word.
Michael drew back before her repellent glance. "What brings you here, Athalie?" he asked, with confusion. "Well, Herr von Levetinczy, what do you think? Do you not want to know anything from me?" "What?" he whispered eagerly, shutting the door, and staring at Athalie with wide-opened eyes. "What do you want to know?" said the beautiful woman, still smiling. "Indeed that is hard to guess.
