Of his daughter’s wedding! At that moment? O Gerwazy, dear friend, consider; you have a human heart! “The Pantler said: ‘Pan Soplica, a wooer has just come to me on behalf of the Castellan’s175 son; you are my friend, what do you say to that? You know, sir, that I have a daughter, fair and richand the Castellan of Witepsk!

Twice I fired, and both shots missed; whether from hatred or from grief, I aimed ill. I heard the shrieks of women; I looked aroundmy lord was no longer living.” Here Gerwazy paused and burst into a flood of tears; then he concluded:— “The Muscovites had already broken down the door, for after the death of the Pantler I stood helpless and did not know what was going on around me.

Why, I am asking you politely; if it is too dark for you, then I will kindle a fire with my penknife so that it will be as bright in your peepers as in seven churches.” “My dear Gerwazy,” said the Apparitor, “why be so huffy? I am an apparitor; it is not my business to discuss the case.

I have been guilty of folly enough already, when I joined with you gentlemen in drinking bouts that end by becoming coarse brawls. Give me satisfaction for the injury to my honour! We shall meet again when you are soberfollow me, Gerwazy!”

But now it is no time for him to be hunting bears; that ruffian is certainly buried in Hell up to his very mustaches. Glory to the Monk, he has saved the lives of two men, and perhaps of three. Gerwazy will not boast, but if the last child of the Horeszkos’ blood had fallen into the jaws of the beast, I should no longer be in this world, and perhaps the bear would have gnawed clean my old bones.

And my brush,” said Sprinkler. “Where you go, dear Gerwazy, there will I go too, while I have a hand, and while this splish-splash is in my hands. Two are a pair! In Heaven’s name, my Gerwazy! You have your sword, I have my sprinkling-brush! In Heaven’s name, I will sprinkle, and do you strike; and thus slish and slash, splish and splash; let others prate!”

True, true!” replied Gerwazy with emotion. “Strange have been the fortunes of our beloved Kingdom and of our Lithuania! They are like a true married pair! God joined them, and the devil divides them; God has his own and the devil has his own! Ah, dear brother Protazy, that our eyes should see thisthat these brethren from the Kingdom should visit us once more!

In addition, must I, the keeper of the castle, Gerwazy Rembajlo, Warden of the Horeszkos, be insulted in the house of my lords?—and will you endure it!” Thereupon Protazy called out three times.— “Silence, clear the room!

After finishing his summons, the Judge called in Protazy and read in a loud voice his complaint against the Count, for wounding his honour and for insulting expressions, and against Gerwazy, for violence and blows; both of them he cited before the criminal court in the district town for threatsand to pay the costs of the lawsuit between them.

After this the men were separated, but in that scuffle two had been wounded in the hand, and one had got cut over the ear. The rest were mounting their horses. The Count and Gerwazy marshalled them and distributed arms and orders. At last, all started at a gallop down the long street of the hamlet, crying, “Down with the Soplica!”
