It filled his clothes out suddenly like one of those indiarubber squeakers the children blow at Whitsun Fair; and coming from a man whose looks were all against him, it made you feel humble-minded for having been so quick to judge. I think he had found out the value of this kind of surprise and went about neglecting his appearance on purpose. As I say, he started very well.
Lady Szentirmay boldly raced towards it, and was over it in a trice; a moment later, Madame Kárpáthy also leaped the ditch, her slender figure swayed and danced during the leap; after her plunged her escort, Count Gregory, the Whitsun King, and some other horsemen. The people on the balcony applauded. Only Kárpáthy felt uneasy, and did not know where to bestow himself.
The rich glooms and scents of the beautiful still place closed upon her. Kneeling before the altar, still laden with Whitsun flowers, and under the large crucifix that hung above it, she prayed for her son, that he might worthily uphold the heritage of his father, that he might be happy in his wife, and blessed with children....
She so often spent the whole day with Cheiron that her absence would not be remarked upon until bedtime. But then she suddenly remembered, with a feeling of consternation, that the Professor intended to leave on the Tuesday in Whitsun week for his annual fortnight in London. If the household knew of this, it might complicate matters, and was a pity.
That island girl, in her coquettish Sunday frock and little hat with its bunch of cock's feathers held him as by strands of Manila rope. He dropped Nichola's hand. 'I am leaving Budmouth to-morrow, she said. 'That was why I felt I must call. You did not know I had been there all through the Whitsun holidays? 'I did not, indeed; or I should have come to see you.. 'I didn't like to write.
His is a good, well-ordered household, and he holds with the old ways." "Yes. He was out that Whitsun morning we wot of," said Emlyn. "I wist well you would be pleased." "But I thought his good lady was dead," said Steadfast. "So she is. She that came out to the gully, but there's a new Mistress Henshaw, a sweet young lady, of a loyal house, the Ayliffes of Calfield. And I am to be her own woman."
Her pinafores were speckless, and as to her white Whitsun frock Jack could think of nothing the least like Phoebe in that, except a snowy fantail strutting about the Dovecot roof; and, to say the truth, the likeness was most remarkable. It has been shown that Jack March had a mind to be master of his fate, and he did succeed in making friends with little Phoebe Shaw.
And thus there was a very good prospect of one of the largest landed estates of Hungary falling in a few years into the hands of a foreign banker. And now we are home again in poor dear Hungary. It is the red dawn of a Whitsun Day, and a real dawn it is.
The master of the house introduced the newly arrived guest as Michael Kis, Esq., lord of the manor of Nadudvár, who, "like a jolly good fellow," had come disguised as an ostler to the Whitsun Kingship competition, and there acquitted himself like a man. Every one thought this a most original joke. It was plain to every eye, moreover, that he was a gentleman and no boor.
They slept at an inn, round which the gentlemen lighted a circle of fires, and kept watch all night. Weissenburg was loyal, five hundred armed gentlemen came out to meet them, and on Whitsun Eve they entered the city, Helen carrying her little king in her arms in the midst of a circle of these five hundred holding their naked swords aloft.
