"From the grammar ?" he repeated.

"Well, that is wonderful! I certainly believed I should have to speak Latin to your worship.

But allow me to introduce my humble self--" "I already have the honor," quietly interrupted the count, "of knowing that you are Herr Vice-palatine Bernat Goeroemboelyi von Dravakeresztur." He repeated the whole name without a single mistake! The vice-palatine bowed, and began again: "The object of my visit to-day is--" Again he was interrupted.
"I know that also," said the count.

"The Fertoeszeg estate has passed into the hands of another proprietor, who has a legal right to withdraw the lease and revoke the conditions made and agreed to by her predecessor; and the Herr Vice-palatine is come, at the request of the baroness, to serve a notice to quit." Herr Bernat did not like it when any one interrupted him or knew beforehand what he intended to say.
"On the contrary, I came because the baroness desires to renew the lease.

She has learned how kind to the poor your worship is, and offers the castle and park at half the rent paid heretofore." He fancied this would melt the haughty lord of the castle, but it seemed to increase his hauteur.
"Thanks," frigidly responded the count.
