"You said just now that you had insulted Hátszegi, did you not?" he asked.
"Well—yes!—if you must know."
"Grossly?"
"Yes, and most deliberately."
"Very good, I only asked the question out of curiosity. You shall have the choice of your resting place, where would you like to sleep?"
"I choose the bee-house."
"Good. It is true that the night air is not very good for me. I will sleep then in my usual resting place."
"And I will sleep among the bees. Their humming close beside a man's ears generally brings him dreams that a king would envy."
"Then good night, sir."
"Good night."
