Master Matyas listened attentively to what the count said, and took the necessary measurements. When he had done so, he turned toward his patron, and said in a serious tone: "Do you know why we lost the battle of Marengo?
A law was issued by which it was ordered that every Hungarian nobleman, out of every twenty dependents, should produce a well-equipped horseman, and with him proceed to the field of battle. Myself. Why did Matyas capture Venna? Hungarian. Because the Emperor Frederick took part against him with the King of Poland, who claimed the kingdom of Hungary for his son, and had also assisted the Turk.
Vavel applied his spurs and cantered briskly toward the house, but moderated his speed when he came nearer. He remembered how easily Marie was frightened by the clatter of horse-hoofs. At the corner of the street he alighted, and cautioning Matyas to exercise slowly the fatigued horses, proceeded on foot to the house. The servant on guard at the door saluted in military fashion with drawn sword.
Ludwig hastened to his general, to beg for leave of absence. "Everything is ready," said Master Matyas to Vavel, pointing toward three covered luggage-wagons, which the Volons had captured from the Frenchmen at Klein-Zell.
"And how came you to see all these sights, Master Matyas?" interrupted Vavel. "I allowed the Frenchmen to capture me; then I was set to work in the intrenchments with the other prisoners." "And did you manage to deliver my letter?" "Oh, yes. The Philadelphians are easily recognized from the silver arrow they wear in their ears.
After dinner the count, on some pretence, detained Marie in the library while Master Matyas completed his task in her room. This masterpiece was a peculiar curtain composed of small squares of steel so joined together that light and air could easily penetrate the screen. It was fitted between the two marble columns which supported the arch of the bed-alcove.
The rising of the German patriots against Napoleon had ended in their defeat, and not a trace was left of the uprising among the French people themselves. It was the third day after the battle of Aspern when Master Matyas entered Count Vavel's tent.
The balls are connected by a long chain, and when the cannon are fired off, the balls naturally fly in opposite directions and forward at the same time, and, stretching the chain, mow off the heads of every man jack with whom it comes in contact! Fire! Boom! Heads off!" The count was perfectly satisfied with Master Matyas.
And you, Borbála, go and fetch some salt. Is the goose plucked? Now, Mátyás, don't be so lazy, run and pick some parsley in the garden. Dear me! How very thin the good lady is whom Miss Veronica has brought home with her. Did you see her? I shall have hard work to feed her up and make her decently fat. Give me a saucepan; not that one, the other. And, Borbála, grate me some bread-crumbs.
It was not likely that any militia troops would be idling about that cart of the country; and if there were, the demons could very easily manage them. One of the two men who crossed the morass on stilts was Master Matyas, whose distance marches during this campaign were something phenomenal.
