Doubtless indeed Lassalle himself had begun to realize, short as was the period from the foundation of the Workingmen's Association to the fatal duel with the Rumanian Yanko, that he could not bring his enterprise to a head as quickly as he had hoped.
"Well?" said a woman's voice. "The storm is violent; Yanko will not be here." "Yanko is not afraid of the storm!" the other replied. "The mist is thickening," rejoined the woman's voice, sadness in its tone. "In the mist it is all the easier to slip past the guardships," was the answer. "And if he is drowned?" "Well, what then? On Sunday you won't have a new ribbon to go to church in."
"But where is the blind boy?" said Yanko at last, raising his voice. "I have told him to come," was the reply. After a few minutes the blind boy appeared, dragging on his back a sack, which they placed in the boat. "Listen!" said Yanko to the blind boy. "Guard that place! You know where I mean? There are valuable goods there. Tell" I could not catch the name "that I am no longer his servant.
He declared that Montenegro had supplied no arms or ammunition to the insurgents, when at that very time his cousin, Yanko Vukotitch, was distributing weapons and directing the military operations under my eyes. Even worse was his statement: "It grieves my heart to see these brave mountaineers die for the liberty of having their own schools for their children."
Yanko Vukotitch's secretary, who had been up at Prizren, described to me with the greatest gusto what happened: "Oh, if you could but have seen what the officers did to Prochasko! They rolled him on the ground, spat in his face, tore the Austrian flag, did all that you can imagine that is most dirty upon him! Austria will never dare tell the world what we did to her consul.
The only difference between the short stories of these two writers is this, that notwithstanding all the mastercraft of Coppée's work, one forgets the impressions produced by the reading of his work while it is almost impossible to forget "The Lighthouse Keeper" looking on any lighthouse, or "Yanko the Musician" listening to a poor wandering boy playing on the street, or "Bartek the Victor" seeing soldiers of which military discipline have made machines rather than thinking beings, or "The Diary of a Tutor" contemplating the pale face of children overloaded with studies.
A few minutes after Ridge entered it, and as he sat in dumb despair, vainly striving to realize his unhappy situation, a soldier brought him a bowl of bean porridge and a jug of water. Without a word, he set these down and departed. A little later other soldiers came and gazed curiously at him through the grated door, always speaking of him as "el Yanko," and making merry at his expense.
Perhaps among types so different from what he had ever seen, he had not the power to judge; or perhaps he was seduced by the divine quality of her pity. "Yanko was in great trouble meantime. In his country you get an old man for an ambassador in marriage affairs. He did not know how to proceed. 'I daresay she's fool enough to marry you, was all Foster said.
He went about trying to explain his action to his friends, but he could say nothing that would ease his feeling and reinstate him in the eyes of the romantic girl. In a frenzy, he sought out the Wallachian student, Yanko von Racowitza, and challenged him to a mortal duel. He also challenged Helene's father.
He had found his bit of true gold. That was Amy Foster's heart; which was 'a golden heart, and soft to people's misery, he would say in the accents of overwhelming conviction. "He was called Yanko. And this is the only trace of him that the succeeding ages may find in the marriage register of the parish. There it stands Yanko Goorall in the rector's handwriting.
