Here was Filina's opportunity to give Lesina good advice, namely, to take his wife, her mother, and Palko, and move before the winter to his cottage in the Gemer mountains. He told him also that Madame Slavkovsky meant to give him some trees from a piece of land that needed to be replanted. In the meantime he could find some other place where he would like to stay.
God has given him what no school can supply, but if people with such faith could stand in the pulpits there would be a real awakening in our nation." "Oh, Bacha Filina, I thank you. I have been thinking about the same thing, only did not dare to speak with Lesina about it." The lady grasped Bacha's hard hand in hers. "Believe me, we will gladly do anything for Palko.
So they had to send at once to John Kárpáthy. Who was to go? Boltay resolved to go himself. He had good legs, and would be there in a moment. So he went and gave the message to old Palko, who communicated it to his master forthwith. The bridegroom understood it in a moment, and lost no time in getting into his carriage and setting out. Boltay and Teresa sat beside him in the carriage.
When they saw her they were glad they had not brought the dogs along. Fido went with his master and Dunaj was somewhere roaming in the woods. "Someone must live here already," remarked the surprised Ondrejko. "Really, so it is. The cat would not be sitting there by herself," added Palko. They walked carefully around the cottage. In the yard they found the wood already cut and stacked.
It was not me but your honour whom the worthy man insulted, and if your honour likes that, why, be it so that's all!" "Come, come, don't make a fool of yourself, Palko," said Master Jock, more jocosely. "Have the comedians arrived?" "I should think they had. There's that Lokodi with four others.
He patted Palko on the shoulder, and then explained to all the guests that the empty place had been left for his nephew Bélá. Then he praised Palko before them all. "I see you have a good heart, after all," cried he. "Nothing of the sort," growled the old servant, sulkily. The soup now, for a moment, reduced the guests to silence.
From the lady he received money to buy cherries for himself and the boys, if there were any good ones. That afternoon it was quite jolly in and about the cottage when the comrades came. Ondrejko was glad that his mother was so joyful. She taught them all kinds of nice games. She even went with them on the "Old Hag's Rock," and there Palko had to tell her also how he found his Sunshine Country.
If Palko could say "our cottage," why could not Ondrejko say, "our sheepfolds, our land, and our woods? Oh, then she came to us though she lived in the cottage of Palko. When she gets stronger she will come to us to drink whey from our sheep."
Meanwhile the trusty heyduke had dressed his master, brushed him down and smoothed him out, till there was not a spot or wrinkle to be seen on any portion of his attire. "But is there not some other, some strange, unusual guest, the sort of man, I mean, who is not in the habit of visiting me? Eh?" Palko regarded his master for a moment with wide-open mouth and eyes, not knowing what to answer.
They rose, and Palko promised to accompany them that they might show him where their hut was standing, and when he had time he would come to visit them. He ran down to close his house and they had to wait a while. When he returned he carried a large piece of bread which he divided equally into five parts, and then they followed the narrow path over the meadows to the sheepcotes.
