Here in this casket is about a thousand ducats. Take Timéa to Athanas Brazovics, and beg him to adopt my daughter. Give him the money, he must spend it on the education of the child, and give him also the cargo, and beg him to be present when the sacks are emptied. You understand?" The dying man looked in Timar's face, and struggled for breath. "Yes the Red Crescent!" he stammered.
The new-comer could not leave the island before the first fruit-dealers arrived. Before that time weeks and months must elapse. Happy weeks, happy moons! Uncounted days of unbroken joy! The ownerless island was Timar's home. There he found work and rest. After the flood had passed away, the work of getting rid of the water left in the hollows gave him plenty to do.
Levetinczy is a rich man, who need not blush for his wealth." Why did Timar's cheeks burn so there in the darkness? The major sighed. "You have convinced me, gracious lady; I never believed anything against his financial reputation. But this man had much to say about your husband in his character as head of a family. Allow me to ask you one thing: Are you happy?"
Michael's blood froze in his veins. "Tell me all." "That is what I came for. But listen quietly to the end, that I may tell you things which lead to madness, if not death." "One word first, is Timéa unfaithful?" "She is, and you will be absolutely convinced of it." In Timar's heart a nobler feeling arose to protest against this suspicion. "Take care what you say!"
Timar's secret had been denounced to the general chamber of finance, which was in rivalry with the leaders of the council of war. Here was an opportunity to reveal in the most conspicuous way the scandals which took place in the bosom of this community, and to remove from it the control of the commissariat.
So saying he seized Timar's gun, which leaned against the wall, threw himself into a chair by the fire, and laid the gun across his knee. "There, now we can talk quietly. I have come a long way, and I am dreadfully tired. My equipage left me in the lurch, and I had to travel part of the way on foot." "What do you want here?" said Timar.
For my own part I don't know what he could have said. Timar went back to the reception-room, not only to get his hat, which he had left there, but for something else. In the room there was no one but Timéa; Athalie and her fiancé were in the next room. In Timar's face, flushed with anger, Timéa saw a great change.
Bad idea, said the sailors; the great mass will lie across the fairway, and stop the ship; besides, the cable is so long and slight that the heavy fabric will part it easily. When Euthemio Trikaliss saw from the vessel Timar's intention, he dropped his chibouque in a panic, ran along the deck and cried to the steersman to cut the tow-rope, and let the ship drift down-stream.
This would lead her to the further conclusion that her mother's valuables had fallen into Timar's hands, and thus she would arrive at the knowledge of how he had become rich, and that he had married her at the price of her own money. If Timéa was curious, she now knows all, and then she must despise her husband. And do not the words of the letter betray this?
So no news concerning the island ever went to Vienna, Komorn, or Constantinople, and the fact of Timar's great prosperity had not reached the islanders.
