In the morning Manasseh persuaded the
leader of the insurgents to make peace
with Toroczko, to set him and his two
brothers free, and to live with the people
OF Toroczko as good neighbors and friends
The leader agreed to make peace and
granted pasuras to the Adorjan brothers
and Manasseh's betrothed; they then
went home to Toroczko and the insurgents

The lady seized the entire bundle OF
letters and threw them upon the table
with such fury that the pressure OF the
air extinguished the Argand lamp Only
the chandelier suspended from the ceiling
now illumined the room.
