Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... 267 CHAPTER II. THE WOOD-CARVER. On his return home, Michael found Timea somewhat unwell. This induced him to call in two celebrated doctors from Vienna in order to consult them about his wife's health. They agreed that a change of climate was necessary, and advised a winter sojourn in Meran; so Michael accompanied thither his wife and Athalie. In the sheltered valley, he chose for Timea a villa in whose garden stood a pavilion built like a Swiss chdlet. He knew that Timea would like it. In the course of the winter he often visited her, generally in the company of an elderly man, and found that, as he expected, the chdlet was her favourite resort. When he returned to Komorn he set to work to build just such another chdlet as the one at Meran. The cabinetmaker he had brought with him was a master of his art. He copied the chdlet and its furniture in the minutest detail; then he installed a large workshop in Timar's one-storeyed house in the Servian street, and there set to work. No one was to know anything about it--it was to be a surprise. But the architect required an apprentice to help him, and it was difficult to find one who could hold his tongue. There was nothing for it but to turn Timar himself into an apprentice, and he now vied with his master from morning to night with chisel and gimlet, in carving, planing, polishing, and turning. But as to the cabinetmaker himself, if you had closed his mouth with Solomon's seal, you could not have made him discreet enough to refrain from letting out the secret to his Sunday evening boon-companions, of the surprise Herr von Levetinczy was preparing for his wife. First they made the different parts and fitted them together: then the whole, as fast as it was ready, was set up in the beautiful park on...
