But Jagienka being afraid that Zych would say too much, swiftly approached Zbyszko, and began to inquire: "When are you going? To-morrow?" "To-morrow after sunset." "And to which barcie?" "To ours in Bogdaniec, not far from your boundaries, near the marshes of Radzikow. They tell me it is very easy to get a bear there." Zbyszko went for the bear as be proposed, because Macko became worse.
"He was killed by the last, but it was not yours; this knight killed him." Jagienka threw her hair back and looked at Zbyszko sharply, but not very friendly. "Do you know who he is?" asked Zych. "I do not know." "No wonder you do not recognize him, because he has grown. Perhaps you will recognize old Macko of Bogdaniec?" "For God's sake! is that Macko of Bogdaniec?" exclaimed Jagienka.
Gracious God, it is as if I were already in Bogdaniec." "What is the matter with you; I heard that the Germans had wounded you?" "They did, dog-brothers! I A head of a spear stuck between my ribs." "You see!" said Zbyszko, "everybody advises the grease of a bear. As soon as we reach Bogdaniec, I will go with an axe to the barcie." "Perhaps Jagienka has some." "What Jagienka?
Jurand bequeathed all his estates and his entire possessions to Danusia and her offspring, but, in case of her death without issue, to her husband Zbyszko of Bogdaniec. He finally recommended his will to the prince's care; so that, in case it contained anything unlawful, the prince's grace might make it lawful.
"Then listen," said Zbyszko, enthusiastically; "we have the same wrong and the same vengeance. Those dog-brothers also killed my people from Bogdaniec. You cannot find a better man for your work. It is no new thing for me! Ask my uncle. I can fight either with spear or axe, short sword or long sword! Did my uncle tell you about those Fryzjans?
At first when he reached Bogdaniec, he was sustained by joy and the first cares about the house; but on the third day, the fever returned, and the pain was so great that he was obliged to go to bed. Zbyszko went to the barcie during the day, and while there he perceived that there were the footprints of a bear in the mud.
But it was hard work for him; therefore as soon as he had an opportunity, Macko pledged the whole of Bogdaniec, thinking that it would be easier for the powerful abbot to settle the land with peasants, and that the war would bring to him and to Zbyszko some people and money. In fact, the abbot was energetic.
"Hej!" Then he was silent, full of blissful emotion; but the good-hearted and curious princess helped them again. "Tell her," said she, "how lonesome you were without her, and when we come to a thicket, you may kiss her; that will be the best proof of your love." Therefore he began to tell how lonesome he was without her in Bogdaniec, while taking care of Macko and visiting among the neighbors.
As for me, as soon as the Lord Jesus restores my health, I will try to induce some of the peasants living on the estate of Wilk of Brzozowa, to settle on my land. I will offer them more land, I have plenty of it in Bogdaniec. They can come if they wish to, for they are free. In time, I will build a grodek in Bogdaniec, a worthy castle of oaks with a ditch around it.
Here Macko looked at Zych suspiciously and after awhile he answered: "Would you wrong us?" "Jagienka will get Moczydoly," said Zych evasively. "Immediately?" "Immediately. I would not give it to another; but I will do it for her." "Half of Bogdaniec belongs to Zbyszko, and if God restore my health, I will improve the estate. Do you love Zbyszko?"
