Bagi Andrast.
Bagi csakhamar el6kerilt. A jegyzo
megmondta neki, hogy megkezdik az
igenylesek foljegyzeset de mivel egyszer-
re valamennyi igenyt mem vehetik fol,
xnondja meg a kinnlevoknek, hogy leg

Bagi Andras.
Maid nincstelenek utan.
- Akkor en- is megyek. Segitek

A tereles bizony sokaig tartott. Zol-
tan sehogysem boldogult neppel. Nehe-
zen mozdultak az emberek. Csak Bagi And
ras szavara hittek el hogy ma mar semmi
keresnivalojuk mines kozseghazan, inert
eligazodott dolog. Mindenkire sor ke-
riil, de az elsobbseg, mint ahogy Tor

A jegyz6 a T0rvenyben lapozott, az

A jegyzo hatradult es jobban meg
nezte Gyonge Ferencet. Csak most is

Csondes, hallgatag baka volt. Mintha ar
