Mister Ehrenwald, I slept here tonight.
We look at each other, our heartbeat calms down. We think of the hidden watch. He continues talking. Yes, here in the pub. Sighs of relief. Hearts beating again. The police officer continues: Don’t take anything with you, it will all be taken away anyway. Who are you, my father asks him. When he hears that the man had slept in the pub, he is no longer afraid, because soldiers spent the night in the pub. So you don’t recognize me? No, my father replies. I am the son of the landlord from Királyfa, the man says. Oh, really? His son. No, we won’t take anything with us.
Without waiting for a reply, we went back to the room, and he left. Everybody was awake. We got dressed, every one of us put on several pieces of clothing. This as well?, Fojvika asked. This as well, my mother said, and because she couldn’t bear Fojvi’s look, she left the room. Quarter past four. I hurried to the baker to pick up our pogácsa. Unfortunately, many pastries are burnt, and we had to throw them away. Kitty dropped by. We drank half a cup of milk. Before we coukd finish it, a police officer appeared at the door. A horse carriage is waiting in front of the house. It’s supposed to be loaded in half an hour.
