We Heard the sound of horses far yet , we had a look with our glass, and saw out four men on horseback , pursuing some gypsies who carried the box. But then suddenly they had the place full of gypsies. They fired and the gypsies took their knives no attack.
In the middle of this I could see that Jonathan jumped into the c
art , raised the great box and flew it over the wheels to the ground meanwhile Morris was fighting the Gypsies. One of them cut him , and I saw him bleeding. Just then the lid of the box was moved backwatch.
It was then what we also fired from out side to help our Friends. We were now nearly. By this time the gypsies seeing themselves covered b the Winchesters had given in and made no further resistance.
The sun was almost down and the whole grup ran away. I saw the Count lying within the box, just like a waken image. At that instant Jonathan cut off his head, while Morris knife plunged into his heart.
It was like a miracle , the whole body crumbled into that and passed from our sight .Then the man was in the box , there was in the face such a look of peace , as I could have never imagined.
Mr Morris fell to the ground . We flew to him. Wich a sigh he took my hand with a feble effort he smiled at me and said.
I am only happy to have been of service . Oh god ...! he cried pointing to me. It was worth for this to die !Look ! Her forehaed is clean. The curse has passed away!
And to our most bitter grief, with a smile and in silence, a brave gentleman died.-
