The fatigued travelers went to bed also. Macko who awoke about noon, ordered Tolima to be called. He knew from the Bohemian that Jurand, before his departure, had ordered all his servants to obey their young master, Zbyszko, and that the priest had informed him of his ownership of Spychow.
Scabby sheep-skin coats but nothing else! How rich then I shall return to Bogdaniec! Then they will call me comes!" Macko was silent because there was a great deal of truth in Zbyszko's words; but after a while he said: "But Prince Witold will reward you." "Bah, you know; to one he gives too much, to another nothing." "Then tell me, where will you go?" "To Jurand of Spychow."
Finally, especially after Macko began to drink the bear's grease, they saw each other almost every day; when the splinter came out of the wound, they went together to get some fresh beaver's grease, necessary for the healing of the wound.
The Knights of the Cross cannot act otherwise, if only for the sake of appearances, and to show to the holy father that they are ready to fight the pagans. The courtiers say that Kuno von Lichtenstein came not entirely for the christening, but also to consult with the king." "Here he is!" exclaimed the astonished Macko. "True!" said Powala, turning his head. "So help me God, it is he!
And as they will be obliged to send information by somebody, let them send it by you, then you will take me to Zgorzelice." "Hey!" replied Macko. "Surely, it would be improper for her to stay at Spychow when Danusia arrives. Surely she ought now to be taken back to Zgorzelice. I pity the little orphan, I sincerely regret it. But God's will must be done. But now how shall I arrange the matter?
Then he and Macko mounted their horses, and, together with the Bohemian, silently began taking counsel as though the enemy were quite near them. The Bohemian's advice was that they should advance on foot at once, but they did not agree to that, because they did not know the distance they would have to traverse in the woods.
There they sat down and Macko reflected for a moment, and then said: "You must also remember that you have promised this old dog to Jurand, who will avenge his own and his daughter's tortures. He is the one who will pay him, and do not you fear! In this you must please Jurand. It is his affair and not yours.
In merchant Amylej's house, Macko and Zbyszko were deliberating what to do. The old knight expected to die soon, and Father Cybek, a Franciscan friar who had experience in treating wounds, predicted the same; therefore he wanted to return to Bogdaniec to die and be buried beside his forefathers in the cemetery in Ostrow. But not all of his forefathers were buried there.
But if I were to go there and only get assurance that she has been removed, then in that case Spychow as well as Zbyszko remain. He will be able to return here and marry another maiden." Here Macko breathed freely, as though a burden were removed from his heart, and Glowacz asked in a bashful, subdued voice: "Do you mean the young lady of Zgorzelice?"
But within he found a bright fire burning in the large clay oven in the centre of the room. And upon the table were two iron cradles and two torches in them, by which light Macko observed Jasko, the Bohemian, Hlawa, and another young servant with a face as red as an apple. "How are you, Jasko? and what is the matter with Jagienka?" asked the old nobleman.
