 aside in the road, and considered it necessary to cross themselves whenever they met either the nobleman or the lady
 The latter bore several children to Count Victor, who now figure in the AustrO- garian peerage as the is- sue of Count Gyurki. This nobleman, if Viennese gossip is to be believed, continued to maintain friendly relas tions with his wife, and is even stated to have been 8 frequent visitor at the castle of Count Victor, where his own wife was doing the hOnorS.
