Grady!" he rushed with the whole speed of his horse against the Knight of the Cross. That knight was astonished also; he stopped his horse, and without lowering his spear, looked in front of him, uncertain whether the attack was against him or not. "Lower your spear!" shouted Zbyszko, pricking his horse with the iron points of the stirrups. "Grady! Grady!"
He and the woman servant of the Order watch the litter carefully, so that the young lady is always unable to see anybody." "Do they not torture her?" asked Zbyszko, in hollow tones.
There she was, riding beside the princess, thrumming on her little lute, humming and thinking of him. Thinking that she would soon see him, and perhaps looking back. Hero Zbyszko aroused himself and listened, because he heard a rustling behind him. Then he grasped the fork in his hand more tightly, stretched his neck and listened again. The rustling approached and then it became very distinct.
"Other girls are afraid to even look at a crossbow; but with you, one can go to the forest all his life." Jagienka smiled at such praise, but she did not answer; they returned the same way they came. Zbyszko asked her about the beavers and she told him how many of them there were in Moczydoly, and how many in Zgorzelice.
"What surprises me most is, that they wear swords, being wandering seminarists," said Zbyszko. "They are allowed to wear them," said the abbot, "because they have not received orders yet; and there is no occasion for anyone to wonder because I wear a sword even though I am an abbot. A year ago I challenged Wilk of Brzozowa to fight for the forests which you passed; but he did not appear."
"Zygfried has the heart of a hangman, and not that of a knight," whispered Wolfgang to Arnold, "and that serpent, although she is the cause of your liberty, I will order to be beaten with rods." They were also touched when they saw Zbyszko carrying her in his arms, as a mother is wont to carry her child.
The will is at the bishop's and cannot be lost, and as far as they are concerned, when it will be shown that there is need to remain on the road, it will be of greater advantage to be left in the care of Princess Anna, than with Princess Alexandra, because at the former court the Knights of the Cross are not frequent visitors, and Zbyszko is more appreciated there."
If I do not let the child go to her sick father, I will draw God's anger on myself." Zbyszko who had been sitting on the bed, slipped down on the pillows and did not answer for a time because he was exhausted. Slowly, however, he began to move one hand toward the other on his breast until he joined them as in prayer.
Now he noticed over his head the rustling of the pine trees, and he felt the wind blow in his face, coming from the marsh, and he smelt the bear. There was not the slightest doubt that a mys was coming! Zbyszko was afraid no longer, and having bent his head, he strained to the utmost his hearing and his sight.
Passing by, he nodded to Powala of Taczew, and to Toporczyk; then with his shield-bearers, he ascended the stairs of the cathedral, in a majestic and stately manner. At that moment the bells resounded, frightening flocks of doves and jackdaws, and announcing that mass would soon begin. Macko and Zbyszko entered the church with the others, feeling troubled about Lichtenstein's quick return.
