Having heard this, Prince Janusz began to nod his head and said: "Hej! formerly the Krzyzaks were received hospitably in Spychow, and Jurand was not your foe, until after his dear wife died on your rope; and how many times have you attacked him first, wishing to kill him, as in this last case, because he challenged and defeated your knights?
The spectators join in the excitement, the men stamp and clap their heels to the rhythm of the dance, the women beat their hands one against the other to that same wild, syncopated measure. Old men grasp middle-aged women round the waist; smiling, self-deprecatingly they too begin to tread; Hej!
Here he turned to Zbyszko: "Hej! my lord, the last time I saw you, you were a small boy; and now, although there is no light, I suppose you are large like an urus. And you had your crossbows ready! One can see you have been in the war." "War has nurtured me since childhood. Let my uncle tell you if I am lacking in experience."
"Rety! Uncle! Zych of Zgorzelice is here!" shouted Zbyszko. They began to greet each other joyfully because Zych was really their neighbor, and also a good man of whom everybody was very fond on account of his mirth. "Well, how are you?" asked he, shaking hands with Macko. "Still hoc, or no more hoc!" "Hej, no more hoc!" answered Macko. "But I see you gladly.
"Hej, child! you must not take any notice of what folks say it is only tittle-tattle. You must not mind it." "I don't mind it, mother. I am sure that it is only tittle-tattle." "Your father in bed?" asked Irma abruptly changing the subject of conversation. "Yes."
Then she again covered her face, which was as rosy as an apple, with her sleeve; Macko smiled, passed his hand over his moustache and said: "Hej! if I were only younger; but you must comfort yourself, because I see how it will be. He will get his spurs at the Mazowiecki court, because that is near the boundary and it is not difficult to kill a Krzyzak there.
By the lake covering the greater part of the glade, some people were fishing; but seeing the armed men, they left their nets and immediately seized their picks and staffs and stood ready for battle. "They thought we were robbers," said Zych, laughing. "Hej, fishermen! To whom do you belong?"
Hearing this, Zbyszko put both his hands on his neck, and raising his head, said: "Hej, Mighty God! To have a horse and to ride on fields, on large ones! It is dreadful for a young man to perish! It is dreadful!" "People perish on horseback!" answered Macko. "Bah! But how many they kill before!"
"Because Zbyszko is ill," answered she, putting her little hands to her eyes. "Do not be afraid, there is no danger for him. Is that not true, Father Wyszoniek?" "Hej! by God's will, he is nearer to the wedding than to the coffin," answered the good-hearted ksiondz Wyszoniek. The prince said: "Wait!
"Hej, you shaggy one! Why do you look at the bucket? You will not find any Latin at the bottom of that." "I am not looking for Latin, but for beer; but I cannot find any."
