Her also, nobody can recognize." "There, old woman, you have a marriage feast. One is bad enough, now there will be two." "Don't tease." "I am not teasing, but everybody will recognize you and her, in the daytime." "Pray, and why?" "In order to go on their knees to you and to her also." "O, give us peace!..." "You shall have it, I am not in a hurry. But will Cztan or Wilk let you have peace?
Macko appeared not to notice the question and continued: "This is the very reason why I must go, and why I also ask you, as worthy and upright neighbors, to take care of Bogdaniec when I go, and see to it that nobody damages my property. Have your eye especially upon Cztan and protect me against him."
From the crowd in front, waiting for mass, young Wilk and Cztan of Rogow came forward immediately; but Zbyszko jumped from his horse, and before they could reach her, seized Jagienka and lifted her down from her horse; then he took her by the hand, and looking at them threateningly, conducted her to the church. In the vestibule of the church, they were again disappointed.
Both rushed to the font of holy water, plunged their hands in, and then stretched them toward the girl. But Zbyszko did the same, and she touched his fingers; then having made the sign of the cross, she entered the church with him. Then not only young Wilk, but Cztan of Rogow also, notwithstanding his stupidity, understood that this had been done purposely, and both were very angry.
But young Wilk, contrary to his custom to look for quarrels when drunk, this time limited his anger to threats against Cztan, and ran around Macko so assiduously as though he were to obtain Jagienka from Macko the following morning. Toward midnight he fainted from over-exertion, and after they revived him, he fell asleep like a log.
He had wished with his whole heart that Zbyszko would marry Jagienka; but he now realized that this wish would never be fulfilled; and considering the abbot's anger, the behavior of Zbyszko toward Jagienka and finally the fight with Cztan and Wilk, he concluded it would be better to allow Zbyszko to go.
Cztan said to Wilk: 'After I tan his skin, he will not be so smooth. And Wilk said: 'Perhaps he will be afraid of us; if not, I will break his bones! Then they assured each other that you would be afraid of them." Hearing this Macko looked at Zych, and Zych looked at him; their faces expressed great cunning and joy.
But he evidently was only thinking what he would do, were he in Cztan or Wilk's position; because after a while, he shook his golden hair and said further: "A girl must marry and not fight with the boys. Unless you have a third one, you must choose one of these two." "You must not tell me that," answered the girl, sadly. "Why not?
Zybszko, having joined Zych and Jagienka, who were accompanying the abbot and his retinue to Krzesnia, rode with them, because he wanted to show the abbot that he was afraid neither of Wilk of Brzozowa, nor of Cztan of Rogow. He was again surprised at Jagienka's beauty.
When the brilliant retinue moved on and when from afar they heard the merry song of the ambulant seminarists, Cztan began to wipe the perspiration from his hairy cheeks and to snort like a horse; as for Wilk, he said, gnashing his teeth: "To the inn! To the inn! Woe to me!" Afterward remembering what had relieved them before, they again seized the stone and rolled it back to its former place.
