Only the "sister" remained with the balm, but the mistrustful ksiondz Wyszoniek did not wish to use it, especially as the sick man had slept well the preceding night and had awakened without any fever, although still very weak.

If only the ksiondz Mikolaj of Kurow, will give up his Kujawian bishopric, and the gracious king appoint me in his place, I will preach you such a beautiful sermon about the love between Christian nations, that you will sincerely repent. Hatred is nothing but ignis and ignis infernalis at that; such a dreadful fire that one cannot extinguish it with water, but is obliged to pour wine on it.

They are watering the horses!" And the ksiondz Wyszoniek looked through the window, in which the glass balls were growing gray and said: "The night grows white and the day is coming. Ave Maria, gratia plena " Then he left the room but having returned after a while, he said: "The day breaks, but the day will be dark. Jurand's people are watering their horses. Poor girl, you must be ready!"

"The ksiondz Wyszoniek says that he will know when the new moon comes. There are four days before the new moon." "Hej! then you need not go to Bogdaniec, because I will either die, or I will be well before my uncle could come." "Could you not send a letter to Bogdaniec? Sanderus will write one. Then they will know about you, and will engage a mass for you."

"To be sure they are great boys," affirmed the ksiondz Wyszoniek. "Even now when he can hardly breathe, be has taken Jurand's part and challenged those knights. Jurand needs exactly such a son-in-law." "In Krakow, Jurand said differently; but now, I think he will not oppose it," said the prince.

"For God's sake! That is true!" exclaimed the princess. Then there was silence; only their sorrowful faces showed what a blow those words of the ksiondz Wyszoniek were to all of them. Then he said after a while: "If you had a dispensation, then I would not oppose it, because I pity you.

In the centre, between the clerk of the court, who was going to read the sentence, and the ksiondz Stanislaw of Skarbimierz who was carrying a crucifix, walked Zbyszko. All eyes now turned toward him, and at all the windows and from all the balconies, women's heads protruded.

He guessed correctly, because that same day the princess asked the prince's permission to remain in the house in the wilderness, with Danusia and the ladies-in-waiting, and also with the ksiondz Wyszoniek, who was opposed to carrying Zbyszko to Przasnysz.

You must be faithful to the anointed lord, avoid unrighteous war and defend innocence against oppression; may God and His Holy Passion help you!" "Amen!" answered the ksiondz Wyszoniek. The prince arose, made the sign of the cross over Zbyszko and added: "And when you recover, go immediately to Ciechanow, where I will summon Jurand."

The ksiondz bishop of Krakow, Wysz, who was also the ablest physician in the country, and famous even abroad, had not announced when the delivery would occur. They were making some preparation; but it was the custom at that time to begin all festivals as early as possible, and to prolong them for weeks.
