Desiderius had learned from Lorand's letters about Czipra that he might readily answer any question the poor girl might ask, and might at first sight tell her every secret of his heart. Czipra was delighted. Lorand, however, did not wait for Topándy, who was coming behind, but rushed to his room. That letter, that letter! it had been on his mind the whole way.
"Go away: if you don't I shall get up from here and look out for myself." "Don't be afraid. They cannot come here," said Topándy; then, lifting the lamp from the table himself, and taking Lorand's hand, he drew him out from the room. In the corridor they halted to decide on a plan of action. "The villains are still numerous," said Topándy: "yet I've accounted for two of them already.
"Let them marry each other!" Lorand took the beautiful note and locked it up in the drawer of his table, unopened, unread. His last thought must be that perhaps he had been loved, and that last thought would be lightened by the uncertainty: only "perhaps." And now to prepare for that journey. It was Lorand's wont to carry two good pistols on a journey.
That madonna face, than which I have never seen a more beautiful, more enchanting either before or since that day! Two days after Lorand's disappearance a travelling coach stopped before Mr. Fromm's house. From the window I recognized coach-horses and coachman: it was ours. Some one of our party had arrived.
He had tried to murder his own daughter. This idea excited such rage in Lorand's heart that he brought the robber to his knees with one wrench. But the other was soon on his feet again. "Oho! You are strong too? You gentlemen live well: you have strength. The ox is also strong, and yet the wolf pulls him down." And with renewed passion he threw himself on Lorand.
"I did not want to avoid you: as soon as I knew from the Bálnokházys that you were here, I came to find you." After all it was "she" that had put him on Lorand's track! "I have business here with Sárvölgyi in Madame Bálnokházy's interest a legal agreement." Lorand's only thought, while Gyáli was uttering these words, was how to behave himself in the presence of this man.
I have seen the safes, empty, in which the family treasures were wont to be piled. I heard from the cabman, who handed in her travelling bag after her that 'it must have been full of gold, it was so heavy." Lorand's face was burning now like the clouds of a storm-swept sky at sunset. "Did you have the bag in your hands?" I asked him. "Not a word more!"
Now as I write these words the tears stand in my eyes and I did laugh so heartily. "Why, you have made a millionaire of me." Then cheerfully he put my purse into his pocket. And I did not know what to do in my delight at Lorand's accepting my money. "Now comrade mine, I could go to the end of the world. I don't have to play 'armen reisender' on the way."
They arranged the country dwelling afresh: Desiderius took up his residence in the town, handing over to his elder brother his birthright. The eldest lady put off her mourning. Lorand's bride must not see anything that could recall sad thoughts. Everything sad was buried under the earth.
Already mother and grandmother were in the room. The poor women had spent the whole evening of agony in the neighboring room, keeping perfectly still, so as not to betray their presence there, with the intention of listening for Lorand's voice: and they had trembled through that last awful scene, of which they could hear every word.
