"But we have found the murderer," said the cook with great joy.
"I found him!" cried the haiduk.
"Yes, in the chimney!" bawled the kitchen-maid.
"He got off!" cried Mrs. Cizmeasz, in a shrill voice.
"Yes, yes, we have him! It's the Jew—the glazier, sir; you know him," said the cook, who wished to be an important personage in the affair.
"He has made his escape," said the coachman, coming forward; "we followed him to the Theiss, when——"
"He is in the cellar," bawled the foot-boy; "I have bound him hand and foot!"
"Yes, sir," resumed the coachman, "we ran at his heels until we came to the thicket——"
"The door is duly sealed, sir, and I have the Jew under lock and key," said the cook, with dignity.
"It wasn't the Jew!" screamed Mrs. Kata.
