Short Essay
KOSTO.
»Muistat kai, äiti, nuo kolme velkakirjaa, jotka olen saanut kreiviltä
hänelle lainaamistani rahoista ja niille juoksevasta korosta»?
SUURI ONNETTOMUUS.
»Kuka tuo mies on, Gyuri»? kysyi kreivi Kantássy, joka myöskin oli
katsellut talonpoikaa jonkun aikaa ja ihaillut aito unkarilaisen tapaan
tuota hyvän hevosen selässä olevaa mainiota ratsastajaa.
HYVITYS.
Sillä aikaa oli András melkein jo saapunut kylään. Hän tiesi yhtä
hyvin kuin kreivikin, että illan hävitys oli ihmisten eikä Jumalan
toimeenpanema, ja aavisti, että noissa taloissa asuvat taikauskoiset
säikähtyneet raukat olivat tehneet tuo raukkamaisen teon ja
aiheuttaneet rikollisessa hulluudessaan tuon peloittavan
onnettomuuden, jonka estämisestä he nyt äreästi ja uhmaavasti
kokonaan kieltäytyivät.
»Älkää puhuko heille enää mitään, isä», sanoi äkkiä muudan ääni
pimeydestä. »He eivät ansaitse, että teidän ystävälliset silmänne
katselevat heidän ilkeitä kasvojaan sekuntiakaan enää».
»Niin onkin, mies, mutta ei puoleksikaan niin ilkeä kuin tuo synkkä
ja murhaava teko, jonka teidän rikolliset kätenne ovat panneet
toimeen tänä iltana. Peräytykää heti»! lisäsi hän, kun pari
talonpoikaa lähimmästä ryhmästä aikoi lähestyä häntä. »Kiellän teitä
puhumasta minulle, lähestymästä minua ja laskemasta kättänne
Csillagin lautasille, sillä teidän saastainen kosketuksenne voi sen
tappaa».
