Finally Hlawa who was impatient at the silence and delay, bent toward Zbyszko's ear and whispered: "Sir, if God will grant, none of the dog-brothers shall escape alive. May we not be able to reach the castle and capture it by surprise?" "Do you suppose that the boats there are not watching, and have no watchwords?"
"If it is not enough, tell them then, that I consider them dog-brothers and not honest knights." This was the end of the audience. The captain went away, because the prince departed the same day for Ciechanow.
"I thought and am still of the opinion, that we shall not be able to rescue her alive from the talons of those dog-brothers. But everything is in God's hands. I must relate to you from the beginning. We arrived at Szczytno. Well. Knight Macko showed Lichtenstein's letter to the bailiff, who kissed the seal in our presence, and received us as guests.
Therefore shaking Danusia's gloves, he began to shout, half mirthfully, half angrily: "Come, you dog-brothers with peacock's crests, come!" But at that moment the same monk who had been there before entered the inn, and with him two superior ones. The servants of the monastery carried willow baskets which contained bottles of wine and some tidbits.
"I know, but the Knights of the Cross are not such out-and-out dog-brothers as you think them to be. In Malborg nothing evil can happen to your nephew, whilst he is at the side of the grand master and his brother Ulrych, who is an honorable knight.

'O, Jasko said to the servants, 'those two I will prosecute to the very end. I tell you that there will not be a single peaceful day and some evil might befall the youngster." "Faith. Cztan and Wilk are dog-brothers," said Macko, "although they would not dare lift up their hands against children. Bah! only a Knight of the Cross would do that."
Macko said: "I have never seen them; but I have heard, that the Pan of Garbow has Turks in his service whom he captured while fighting on the Danube with the Roman emperor, Zygmunt. How is it? Are you heathens, your dog-brothers?" "The lord ordered us to be baptized," said one of the slaves. "Did you have no money for ransom?" "We are from far lands, from Asiatic shores, from Brussa."
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?
He will again fight one of those dog-brothers and take spoil. Others grow old before they receive the belt of knighthood, but he already has received the belt from the prince.... And rightly so. There are many valorous youths among the nobility; but not another like him." His tender feelings entirely subdued him.
