»On tämä kaunista»!
Kun András tuli sisään, oli huone melko hämärä, sillä viileältä
näyttävät viheriät uutimet estivät auringonsäteitä tunkeutumasta
huoneeseen. Aivan ikkunan ääressä, jossa oli niin valoisaa, että
voitiin työskennellä, istui Keményn Etelka kehräten. Hitaasti pyöritti
hänen paljas jalkansa keskipäivän kuumuudessa rukinratasta
samalla kun hän hiljaisin äänin hyräili surullisia unkarilaisia

korkeutenne sen tietää, että minulla on sitä riittävästi»?
»Ja minä sanon sinulle, hävytön mies, että jos minulle tahi
omaisilleni tapahtuu jotakin, on sinun oma kätesi suunnannut iskun
ja valehteleva kielesi suunnitellut teon. Ymmärrän selvästi alhaisen
saidan talonpoikaisluonteesi, joka on valmis vaikka mihin omaksi
hyödykseen…»
