Come, let us hear you fire away in Latin," he continued, proceeding to re-light his pipe, which, before going to sleep, he had laid on the table.
"If you wish to follow the discourse in Latin," said the Hungarian, in very bad English, "I can oblige you; I learned to speak very good Latin in the college of Debreczen." "That's more," said I, "than I have done in the colleges where I have been; in any little conversation which we may yet have, I wish you would use German." "Well," said the jockey, taking a whiff, "make your conversation as short as possible, whether in Latin or Dutch, for, to tell you the truth, I am rather tired of merely playing listener." "You were saying you had been in Russia," said I; "I believe the Russians are part of the Sclavonian race." _Hungarian_.

Yes, part of the great Sclavonian family; one of the most numerous races in the world.

The Russians themselves are very numerous: would that the Magyars could boast of the fifth part of their number! _Myself_.

What is the number of the Magyars?
_Hungarian_.

Barely four millions.
