Chapter XXII
SPRING MEADOWS. As far as the Lower Danube, the traveler took with him rough and wintery skies; here and there fresh snow covered the fields, and the woods stood bare. The stormy cold suited the thoughts with which Timar was occupied. That cruel girl was right--not only the husband but the wife was wretched. The man doubly so; for he was the author of their mutual misery.
