We will tell him: 'Your daughter is watched by Brother Shomberg; if you say a word, remember what happened to Witold's children!" "And then?" "Then von Bergow will be free and the Order also will be free from Jurand." "No!" exclaimed Brother Rotgier; "everything is planned so cleverly that God ought to bless our enterprise."
Tell, then, what you saw, that Danveld, having recovered from a band of rogues a certain girl and thinking her to be Jurand's daughter, informed the latter, who also came to Szczytno, and what happened further you know yourself." "Pardon me, pious count," said von Bergow.
Because if we have her in our possession, we will be obliged to send some one to Jurand to tell him: 'Your daughter is with us; if you wish her to be set at liberty, give von Bergow and yourself in exchange for her. You cannot do otherwise, and then it will be known that we ordered the girl to be carried off." "That is true!" said Sir de Fourcy, who did not like the whole affair.
"What do they wish?" "They wish you to release Herr von Bergow." Jurand breathed heavily. "I will return von Bergow to them," he said. "And the other prisoners that you have in Spychow." "There are two retainers of Meineger and von Bergow, besides their boys." "You must release them, sir, and make amends for the imprisonment." "God forbid that I should bargain for my child."
De Lorche, hearing the name von Bergow, began to inquire about him, and, having found out, said: "He is a relative of the Duke of Geldryi, a great benefactor of the Order, and devoted to the Order from his birth." "Yes," said the knight of Dlugolas, translating his words to those present. "Von Bergow held high rank in the Order." "Danveld and von Loeve strongly demanded him," remarked the prince.
"Sir, are you not ill?" said the priest Kaleb, who, knowing Jurand better, noticed that something curious was taking place within him. "No!" replied Jurand. "And Danusia?" further inquired Zbyszko; "where is she and what did they say to you?" "What did they bring?" "The ransom," slowly replied Jurand. "The ransom for von Bergow?" "For von Bergow...."
He determined however to find out more from the Order's servant. "The knights wish secrecy," he said, "but how can it be kept, when I release von Bergow and the others in return for my child?" "You will say that you accepted ransom for von Bergow in order to be able to pay the robbers." "People will not believe it, because I never accepted ransom," gloomily replied Jurand.
"Whom will God help, if not a father who seeks his daughter; if not a husband who seeks his wife? He will certainly not assist robbers." "But they captured her nevertheless," answered Jurand. "Then you will return von Bergow to them." "I shall return all they wish."
