"But we two must leave," whispered grandmother to Lorand. She had already noticed that Lorand's face was not fit to be present in that peaceful life. His gaiety was only for others: a grandmother's eyes could not be deceived.
This piece of lilac-colored paper was torn in two, and both wrote one name: these two pieces they put in a hat and called upon me to draw out one. I did so and read out Lorand's name." "Do you intend to relate how your brother enjoyed himself at that dance?" Melanie had not heard anything. "I have no intention of saying a single word more about that day and I shall at once leap over ten years.
Two understood that he meant "a ring," but what he meant was a "bullet" in the centre of his forehead. How pitiless are the jests of a man ready for death. Their happy dalliance was interrupted by the butler who came to announce that a young gentleman was waiting to speak with Master Lorand. Lorand's heart beat fast! It must be Desi! Had he not received the letter?
"Did you get my letter?" "Yes, thank you. Don't be alarmed, there is no danger." "Indeed there is. I know it well. The danger is in the hands of Bálnokházy: therefore certain." "What great harm can happen to me?" Hermine placed her hand on Lorand's shoulder and tremblingly hissed: "They will arrest you to-night." "They may do so." "Oh no, they may not, kind Heaven! That they shall not do.
There had come from that direction at the call of the whistle Korvé, Pofók, and Bogrács, who had been guarding the street-door and the other exit from the castle. At the moment they turned into the garden their comrade Fosztó, seeing Kanyó fall, stood still and fired his double-barrelled gun and pistols in the direction of Lorand's hiding-place.
No, no: not to damnation: further than that, there and back again, back to that unspeakable circle, where feelings of honor remain in the background, and moral insensibility rules the day. That thought was able to drive out of Lorand's heart the conviction, that when an honorable man has given his life or his honor into the hands of an adversary, of the two only the latter can be chosen.
With what words she herself did not know: but she gathered from the gentlemen's talk that Gyáli had been driven from the company the night before for some flagrant dishonor. Since two days she too had detested that fellow. Lorand meanwhile gazed after his brother with eyes flashing with a desire for vengeance. Topándy grasped Lorand's hand.
Why I shall live to see you married without my knowing or hearing anything about it." I took Lorand's arm and drew him into a corner. "Lorand, mother and grandmother are here too." He wrenched his arm out of my hand. "Who told you to do that?" he growled irritatedly. "Quietly, my dear Lorand. I have committed no blunder even in formalities.
One idea flashed clearly before me and chilled my whole body. I saw all: I understood all now: the mystery of ten years was no longer a secret to me: I saw the refugee, I saw the pursuer, and I had both in my hand, in such an iron grip, as if God had lent me for the moment the hand of an archangel. You just talk away. Lorand's face was a feverish red. "Well, well, you scamp!
"Of course it is true; Melanie herself told me. She told me his name, too Joseph Gyáli." "Ha, ha, ha!" Lorand, smilingly and good-humoredly pinching Czipra's cheek, went on his way. He smiled, but with the poisonous arrow sticking in his heart! Oh, Czipra did herself a bad turn when she mentioned that name before Lorand! Lorand's whole being revolted at what Czipra had told him.
