He knew that I loved to give them riddles to guess, just as I did in Paris so long ago." "Oh, yes, you're Cardillac, aren't you? And now tell us about the smith's swineherd." "You mean Janos? Oh, he was a stupid lout," answered Varna scornfully. "He had cast an eye on the beautiful Julcsi, Gyuri's mistress, so of course I had to kill him." "Did you do that alone?" "No, Gyuri helped me."

Thou like so many alas! dost so oft prate of unbounded attachment to Cæsar. To-day, for the first time, did I put that attachment to the test, and lo! it hath failed me." "Try me, my lord," she said, "and I'll not fail thee.
For it seems to me, that you were sent to Cambridge by One greater than, your parents, in order that you might learn it, and bring it home hither for the use of the M.
