"But the priests are not the men they used to be, Souchey. And it is not exactly their fault neither. There are so many folks about in these days who care nothing who goes to glory and who does not, and they are too many for the priests." "If the priests can't fight their own battle, I can't fight it for them," said Souchey. "But for the old family, Souchey, that you have known so long!
I do not know that Nina ever had a more clearly-defined idea of the trick that Lotta had played upon her, than was conveyed to her by the sight of the deed as it was taken from her desk, and the knowledge that Souchey had put her lover upon the track. She soon learned that she was acquitted altogether by Anton, and she did not care for learning more. Of course there had been a trick.
Then she took herself off, forgetting in her angry spirit the prudential motives which had induced her to begin the conversation with Souchey. But Souchey, though he was going to Madame Zamenoy's house to get his dinner, and was looking forward with much eagerness to the mess of hot cabbage and the cold sausage, had by no means become "one of them" in the Windberg-gasse.
Late in the evening, when the little lamp in the room had been already burning for some hour or two, she called Souchey to her. "Take this note," she said, "to Anton Trendellsohn." "What! to-night?" said Souchey, trembling. "Yes, to-night. It is right that he should know that the house is now his own, to do what he will with it."
"Never mind it now at least. And, Souchey, I think you'd better go to your work. We've been gossiping here ever so long." "Perhaps five minutes; and what does it signify?" "She'd think it so odd to find us here together in the parlour." "Not odd at all." "Just as though we'd been listening to what they'd been saying.
When her aunt had left her she saw no one but Souchey and an old woman who was busy in the bedroom which was now closed. She had stood at the foot of the bed with her aunt, but after that she did not return to the chamber. It was not only her father who, for her, was now lying dead.
I will tell you plainly just what I have heard: your servant Souchey has been with me, and he says that you have it." "Souchey!" "Yes; Souchey. It seemed strange enough to me, for I had always thought him to be your friend." "Souchey has told you that I have got it?" "He says that it is in that desk," and the Jew pointed to the old depository of all the treasures which Nina possessed.
Then Anton Trendellsohn led the way back into the dark room on the ground-floor from whence he had come, and invited Souchey to follow him. The shutters were up, and the place was seldom used.
Now Souchey was well enough inclined to take a part in such a scheme provided it did not in any way make him a party with the Zamenoys in things general against the Balatkas.
On a sudden, at the very moment that Souchey and Rebecca were in the act of passing beneath the feet of the saint, the clouds swept by from off the disc of the waning moon, and the three faces were looking at each other in the clear pale light of the night. Souchey started back and screamed.
