He is able to restore to you all you lost, just as He delivered you from captivity." Jurand pointed with his hand heavenward, a sign that all will there be returned to him. Then his hollow eyes were filled with tears, and an indescribable pain was depicted upon his tortured face. Father Kaleb having observed his painful emotion concluded that Danuska was dead.
"You see.... If it were in our country, at home in Mazowsze, we would challenge them, as I challenged Rotgier, to mortal combat; but this cannot be here in their own country.... What concerns us here is Danuska and speed. In order to avoid trouble all must be done quietly afterward we will do as you said and push on as fast as our horses can go, to the wilds of Mazowsze.
But instead, he heard, proceeding from behind the stones which were heaped up behind the fireplace, a quick and audible panting, like that of a little animal hiding. "Danuska! For God's sake. It is I! Zbyszko!" Then he observed in the darkness, her eyes, wide open, terrified and bewildered.
"In the name of God, you are already in Ciechanow!" again replied the princess. Jurand wrinkled his brow like one who with difficulty tries to collect his thoughts, and replied: "In Ciechanow?... The child is waiting ... and ... principality ... Danuska! Danuska!" Suddenly, he closed his eyes and again fell back on the pillow.
It is a grievance, true, and your complaints are just, but three out of those four opponents are dead, and the remaining old one has also, according to the information I have received, been nearly killed." "And Danuska? And Jurand?" replied Macko. "Where are they? God only knows whether something ill has happened to Zbyszko, who was on the road to Malborg."
"What is his name?" "Zygfried von Loeve." "God grant that we may manage him too." "God grant it!" Macko smiled for a moment and then said: "The princess also told me in Plock: 'Ye grieve and complain like lambs against wolves, but in this instance three of the wolves are dead, because the innocent lambs strangled them. She spoke the truth; it is actually so." "What about Danuska and her father?"
"He said: 'I know that Danuska was at Szczytno, but they have carried her off, or starved her. Old von Loeve did it, and so help me God, I will not rest until I get him." "Did he say so? Then it is sure that the comthur left for the east, but now there is war." "He knew that there was a war, and that is the cause why he left for the camp of Prince Witold.
Zbyszko heard the lowing of oxen and the bleating of goats, which voices were produced in accordance with the ancient religious custom, in remembrance that the nativity took place in a stable. After the mass, the princess came to Zbyszko. She looked distressed and frightened, and began to question him: "And Danuska?"
But I came provided with letters from the prince; and de Lorche, whom they honor, protected me from their evil designs. Then came feasts and tourneys in which the Lord Jesus helped me. You have already heard how Ulrych, the brother of the grand master, loved me, and obtained an order from the master himself to surrender Danuska to me."
On the way it crossed Zbyszko's mind that perhaps he might find his wife Danuska dead, and he urged on his horse who waded up to his breast in snow, to his last breath. Fortunately it was not distant, a few furlongs at most. In the darkness voices were heard exclaiming: "Byway." They were those who had been left with the snow-covered people.
