The priest insisted that she should retire but she paid no attention, for she always in everything wished not to fall short of the late Queen Jadwiga, in Christian virtues, in caring for the sick and to redeem with her merits her father's soul; she therefore did not omit any opportunity to make the old Christian country appear no worse than others, and by this means to obliterate the remembrance that she was born in a heathen land.
God knows how many breasts sigh for you. Every one can have your works, every one can approach you, see you, be proud of you. I alone, your playmate, your old friend, I alone am as though excommunicated. Leon. But Mme. Jadwiga Jadwiga. Ah, you have called me by my name. I thank you and beg your pardon. It is the self-love of a woman, nothing more. It is my nerves. Do not be frightened.
I am in a cold perspiration all over; but I have it; look!" Having said this, he showed to Zbyszko a long splinter, which had separated from the spear and remained in his body for several months. "Glory be to God and to Queen Jadwiga! Now you will get well." "Perhaps; I am better, but it pains me greatly," said Macko, pressing the wound from which blood and pus began to flow.
May God have pity on us both. Jadwiga. It is done! Count Skorzewski! Jadwiga. Ha! Show him in! Show him in! Ha! ha! ha! Apollo and Hermes once met toward evening on the rocks of Pnyx and were looking on Athens. The evening was charming; the sun was already rolled from the Archipelago toward the Ionian Sea and had begun to slowly sink its radiant head in the water which shone turquoise-like.
After mass he left the church as if just awakened from slumber, soothed and gentle. The courtiers knew that it was the best time to ask him either for pardon, or for a gift. Jadwiga entered through the vestry door also. Seeing her enter, the knights standing near the stalls, immediately kneeled, although mass had not begun, voluntarily paying her homage as to a saint.
I do not wish to say that I am unhappy with my husband. It is true that he is always in Chantilly, and I see him only once in three months, but it proves, on the other hand, that he has confidence in me. Is it not true? Leon. I do not know, and I do not wish to decide about it. But before all, I should not know anything about it. Jadwiga. It seemed to me that you ought to know.
I am not permitted to yearn for a noble and quiet life; I may only nurture myself with grief and defend myself with faded, dead flowers, and remembrances of former pure, honest, and loving Jadwinia. Ah! again I break my promise, our agreement. I must beg your pardon. Leon. Mme. Jadwiga, both our lives are tangled.
Sometimes I succeed sometimes not. Apropos, you know my husband, do you not? Leon. I used to know him. Jadwiga. He is very fond of hunting, but only par force. We never hunt otherwise. Leon. Let us be frank. You had better drop that false tone. Jadwiga. On the contrary. In our days we need impressions which stir our nerves. The latest music, like life itself, is full of dissonances.
Without going back to the past, I can tell you that pride is your greatest fault, and if it were not for that pride, many sad things would not have happened. Leon. Without going back to the past, I must answer you that it is the only sail which remained on my boat. The others are torn by the wind of life. If it were not for this last sail, I should have sunk long ago. Jadwiga.
Now let us talk. I am sure we may become friends again. As for me at least what do you intend to do in the future besides painting my portrait? Leon. The conversation about me would not last long. Let us take another more interesting subject. You had better talk about yourself about your life, your family. Jadwiga. As for my husband, he is, as usual, in Chantilly. My mother is dead! Poor mama!
