That Sunday Palko read and explained how the Lord came from Nazareth to live in Capernaum, since they did not want Him in Nazareth, and that even today the Lord Jesus did not want to compel anybody, even as He had not compelled those in Nazareth, but went away and left them forever.  Then he begged everybody not to send the Lord Jesus away, but permit Him to live with them.  “It would be very sad if our sheepcotes would be like those of Nazareth, and if He had to forsake us and go farther on to Capernaum.  Where He is, there is heaven and there is life.  He heals every sickness.  Just notice how many people He healed in Capernaum.  But where He is not, there is darkness, just as in that song it says:  ‘Oh, there is no more salvation.’”

With serious thoughts they all departed to their rest.  Ondrejko slept very soundly, but in spite of that it seemed to him that he heard his mother crying.  In the morning he saw from her eyes that she had not slept very much.  He dared not wake her up.  So he stole out on tiptoe with his suit and dressed outside.

Once when Joe brought things from the city and Aunty Moravec gave him a good meal, he began to praise his new lady and asked sincerely, “But why did Lord de Gemer part with her?  He will not find another like her in the world.”

“He did not part with her, but she parted with him,” said the old nurse with clouded face.  “He is a bad, unfaithful man.  The poor woman loved him so much and believed everything.  When she took him, she had much money; and he just lived on her money and wasted it.  He played cards and did all kinds of evil things.  By the time we came to Budapest she was robbed of everything.  He wanted her to continue to sing there.  She had beautiful jewels; he told her he would deposit them in a bank, but he pawned them, because at the horse-races he had lost a big bet and needed much money.  When he said that I warned her not to let everything go out of her power, through false accusation he separated me from her, accusing me of causing trouble between them.  When there was no one else to defend her and she was robbed of everything, they began to look down upon her—­his mother, his sisters, and he himself.  She was born in America; there they treat women differently.  In spite of it she suffered a whole year because she loved him very much.  Once she saw her jewelry on another lady, and asked where she had bought them.  Thus she found out that they were pawned and had been sold for the charges on them.  There were many evil-minded people around her; they opened her eyes after that to what kind of a husband she had, how he fooled and robbed her, that he loved only her money.  That was most insulting to her.  Not an hour more would she stay with him under the same roof.  She got together the last things she had—­above all her little son—­and went to Vienna.  There I found her dangerously sick.  She asked her husband to send her her things, for she was sick.
