"And what did the lady where you lived formerly tell you about her?" "That she left father and me because she loved the theatre more than us, and because sometimes the people hitched themselves to wagons instead of horses, and gave her beautiful jewels." "And you believed it?" retorted Palko, with clouded face. "No, I did not believe it, because I loved her, loved her very much."
Palko jumped up at once and sat down again. "But how is it that they are not together, and that Ondrejko is not with them?" "They had parted, and he took another wife many years ago." "And the Lord Jesus permitted that? It seems to me that He said, 'It should not be so." "You know, Palko, the world does many things that the Lord God forbids even this.
Keep it a secret for a time to please me." And Fanny promised to keep it secret. On the appointed day, old Kárpáthy if it be right to call our intending bridegroom old sent Palko to Boltay's, and with great delight received the message that he was to come for the ring himself.
"What did you say, boy?" asked the doctor. Ondrejko began to explain that Lesina had a cottage at the very foot of the "Old Hag's Rock," where the path led to town, and that at the present it was empty. "Do you think, Palko," asked the doctor, "that your father would agree to lend us the cabin, if it would suit us?" "Why would he not agree?" said the boy with shining eyes.
Palko spoke so beautifully about how sad it was that in the house of the great man, though he often prayed and did much good, he did not know the way to the true Sunshine Country, since he did not know the Lord Jesus.
Palko did not understand what the lady prayed, for she prayed in English, but he understood the tone. The Lord Jesus was with her and she knew it and talked with Him. Palko rose silently and respectfully, and left the place which now belonged to the lady and the Good Shepherd. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what the day may bring forth," says the Word of God, and that truly.
"I want to know," continued Kárpáthy, in a solemn voice, "whether my little brother Bélá is here?" Palko made a wry face at these words, and dropped the velvet brush with which he was just preparing to smooth out the collar of his master's mente. "What! that weather-cock?" "Come, come! None of that! Don't you know that a Kárpáthy should always be spoken of respectfully?"
Just then Juriga's son and daughter-in-law came from America, and Lesina had to find a place to move to. They all rejoiced in Palko. His mother and grandmother could hardly stop caressing him. Old Juriga had a good cry when the boy hugged him. Lesina complained to Bacha that he was worrying about his wife living with the wife of Juriga's son.
Now he had Someone to bring his complaints to, and he could confide everything to Him, yea, everything. How beautiful that was! Yes, verily, the Lord Jesus now had one servant more. Even the herdsmen sighed to Bacha, "How shall we ever get along without Palko Lesina? Ever since the boy has been with us, it seems that the sunrise looks more beautiful and the dew is richer on the ground."
When he played tag or blind man's buff with the boys he was the most joyful of them. On Petrik especially he had a good influence. Petrik was often self-willed and disobedient, so that Bacha had to punish him. "Why should you make Uncle Filina cross? Just tell it to the Lord Jesus when the Devil is tempting you, and He will deliver you, He will help you," advised Palko.
