Bela

As soon as King Béla knew that the unexpected had come to pass, and that the land was clear of the enemy, he hastened home.

And Béla, as he blinked and looked upon the scene, remembered that he had paid for it all.

Fortunately, to-day Béla had said that she need not stay more than a few minutes.

But Béla, as sulky now as a bear with a sore head, refused to stay for supper.

She pushed open the door of the cottage and went in; Béla followed her, muttering between his teeth.
