ten o'clock
Sárvölgyi began to win fame among the gypsies . These wandering musicians began to reckon his house among one of their happy asylums , so that even the bands of neighboring towns came to frequent it , one handing on the news of it to the other . The young wife loved amusement , and her husband was glad if he could humor her -- perhaps he had other thoughts , too ? Sárvölgyi himself did not allow his course of life to be disturbed : after ten o'clock he regularly left the company , going first to devotions and these having been attended to , to sleep . His spouse remained under the care of her mother -- in very good hands . And , after all , Sárvölgyi was no intolerable husband : he did not persecute his young wife with signs of tenderness or jealousy . In reality he acted as one who merely wished , under the guise of marriage to save a victim , to free an innocent , caluminated , unfortunate girl in the most humane way from desperation .
