"Oho! little Desi? That little rebel. Well all the better. We shall have much in common with him; of old he was an amusing boy, with his serious face. Well I shall go with you. I sacrifice myself. I capitulate. Well we shall go to Szolnok to-night." Why, anyone might have seen plainly had he not come that day just to revel in the agony of Lorand?
One week before the final day, I received a letter from Lorand, in which he begged me not to go to meet him at Lankadomb, but rather to give a rendezvous in Szolnok: he did not wish the scene of rapture to be spoiled by the sarcasms of Topándy. I was just as well pleased. For days all had been ready for the journey.
In this place her hand had been in his: in that place she had said of the lost ring "leave it alone:" in that place he had clasped her in his arms! And to-morrow even that would cause no pain! Topándy now joined them. "Do you know what, Lorand?" said the old Manichean cheerily: "I thought I would accompany you this afternoon to Szolnok.
In the course of a few weeks they achieved, chiefly under Gorgei's leadership, great and complete victories over the enemy near Szolnok, Hatvan, Bicske, Waitzen, Isaszegh, Nagy Sarlo, and Komarom. Windischgraetz lost both the campaign and his office as commander-in-chief.
"Besides, seeing that Gyáli is the ladies' solicitor, and seeing that you, my dear friend, have 'manupropria' despatched Gyáli out of Szolnok he immediately took the post-chaise and is already in Pest, or perhaps farther it is your official duty to give an explanation to those who are waiting for their solicitor and to tell them where you have put their man if you have courage enough to do so."
Looking abroad from the table-land of Esced, over the Hungarian plain that stretches from the foot of Mount Matra to Szolnok, and finally merges into the horizon where the silver thread of the Theiss winds its way, the eye is attracted by a smiling section of country whose vineyards and cornfields gleam brightly in the sun.
"Who will probably not arrive in time for dinner," added Desiderius. Czipra joined the conversation from the extreme end of the corridor. "The old housekeeper from Sárvölgyi's was here to visit me. She asked for the loan of a pie-dish and ice: for Mr. Gyáli is expected to arrive to-day from Szolnok." "Bravo!" was Topándy's remark.
It will be ten years to-morrow since you told me I might in ten years tell mother where you are. Then you wrote to me to be at Szolnok to-day. I have kept my promise to mother as regards telling her to-morrow and to you by my appearance here. Szolnok is two days distant from our home: so I had to bring them here in order to do justice to both my promises." Lorand became unrestrainedly angry.
Will they remain here long?" The whole party had gathered in the grand salon. They too thought that the steps they heard brought the one they were expecting and very impatiently too. Gyáli had informed them he would take a carriage and return, as soon as he could escape from the revelry at Szolnok.
Nor indeed did I try to dissuade them from making the journey. Which of them would have remained home at such a time? Which of them would have given up a single moment of that day, when she might once more embrace Lorand? They both came to me. We arrived at Szolnok one day before Lorand: I only begged them to remain in their room until I had spoken with Lorand.
