Michel Menko, moreover, loved her madly; and he thought only of winning and keeping the love of this incomparable maiden, exquisite in her combined gentleness and pride.
Well, so be it; I will not read them, but upon one condition: you must swear to me, understand, swear to me, that your name is not traced in these letters, and that Michel Menko has nothing in common with the Princess Zilah." She listened, she heard him; but Andras wondered whether she understood, she stood so still and motionless, as if stupefied by the shock of a moral tempest.
However, I have no right to tell you that you are about to commit some folly." "No," calmly replied the Russian, very pale, but still smiling, "it is not a folly." "But it is a danger?" queried Menko. Labanoff made no reply. "I do not know either," said Michel, "how my affair will end. But, since chance has brought us together today, face to face "
As an Hungarian was mixed up in it, and an Hungarian of the rank and standing of Count Menko, the Austro-Hungarian authorities had immediately been advised of the whole proceeding. There were probably no proofs of actual complicity against Menko; but, as Josef Ladany had said, it seemed evident that he had come to Poland to join Labanoff.
"I love you!" exclaimed Menko again. "Go!" she cried, crushing him with look and gesture. "Go! I order you out of my presence, lackey! Go!" All the spirit of the daughters of the puszta, the violent pride of her Hungarian blood, flashed from her eyes; and Menko, fascinated, gazed at her as if turned to stone, as she stood there magnificent in her anger, superb in her contempt.

And yet, I would like to oblige you; I would, I assure you." "If Count Menko is not set at liberty, what will happen to him?" asked Yanski.

Her tone and expression made Michel Menko tremble as if each syllable of these few words was a blow in the face. "Marsa!" he exclaimed, imploringly. "Marsa!" "My name is Marsa Laszlo; and, in a few days, I shall be Princess Zilah," responded the young girl, passing haughtily by him, "and I think you will hardly force me to make you remember it."
She rang, and said to the domestic who answered the bell: "Show Count Menko into the little salon." "We shall see what he will dare," muttered the Tzigana, glancing at the mirror as if to see whether she appeared to tremble before danger and an enemy.
