Chapter XIV
THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN'S REVENGE. The ice on the Waag rolled more and more mightily! Not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant had it ever been so dangerous before. The icy flood crowded through the brook of Madocsany to the mill-dam, easily broken through, and then it might have found its way to the castle wall. "See," said little Cupid to his mother, "Why did you push Saint Nepomeck out of his place, you and Father Peter?
