"They go very deep," sighed Henrietta, raising her eyes, with a mournful complaining glance. Beatrice would have said more, but when she recollected her own conduct on Christmas Eve, it might well strike her that she was the "thing profane" that had then dared to draw near; and it pained her that she had even appeared for one moment to accuse her cousin.
The sight of the enemy's loss afforded no consolation; it was not twice the amount of ours, and their wounded would be saved. It was moreover recollected that in a similar situation Peter I., in sacrificing ten Russians for one Swede, thought that he was not sustaining merely an equal loss, but even gaining by so terrible a bargain.
She recollected that there was in a very thick wood in the park a very thick bush, forming a bower or vault, concealed by thorns and briers.

He recollected Jurand and his strange opposition; then he thought that it was even more necessary he should go, and learn what that obstacle was, and if a challenge to combat could not remove it. Finally it seemed to him that Danusia stretched her bands toward him and cried: "Come, Zbyszku! Come!" How could he refuse? He was not sleeping, but he saw her as distinctly as in a dream.
My deliverer now ordered some of his attendants to pursue them, while himself with one servant remained to assist us. Imagine, my dear friend, what were my emotions, when I discovered in my preserver, the marquis of Pescara!
