"He knows it," answered Hlawa. "Was he not opposed to it?" "He was." "Tell me then all about it." "The pan was walking in the room and the panna followed him. He shouted, but the panienka said nothing; but when he turned toward her, she kneeled but did not utter one word. Finally the panisko said: 'Have you become deaf, that you do not answer my questions?
Zbyszko was unable to overtake Hlawa, because the latter traveled day and night, and only rested as much as was absolutely necessary to avoid the breaking down of the horses, which only subsisted on grass, and were consequently faint and unable to withstand such long marches as they could in regions where oats could be easily procured.
Then Jagienka smiled that all of them took the pitch-burner to be the devil, and he thought them to be the same. Anulka and Sieciechowa laughed at Macko's words, when he said: "Your eyes are not yet dry from weeping for Hlawa; now you are laughing?" The Bohemian looked at the girl, he observed her eyelids which were still moist, then he asked: "Did you cry for me?"
Did the comthurs pay no attention to the master's command?" "Restrain yourself, sir," said Hlawa. "God will comfort you; perhaps very soon." Tears glistened in Zbyszko's eyes, but he controlled himself, and said: "They opened different castles and prisons. I have been everywhere; I searched up to the breaking out of this war.
Fortunately this did not last too long because distant steps were heard on the stairs, and after a moment, Father Kaleb rushed into the room. They then quickly separated, and the priest began to overwhelm him with questions. But Hlawa was unable to catch his breath and replied with difficulty. The priest thought that his condition was owing to fatigue.
Hlawa, after having kissed the hand of Jagienka, lifted in turn the hand of Sieciechowa to his lips and said: "Not only need you not fear me, but whilst you are with me you need fear nothing, for I shall not give you to anybody." Then the men went into the front room whilst Jagienka and Anulka retired to the alcove and slept together in a wide and comfortable bed.
Zbyszko, not being able to talk with him about Danusia also, because they could not understand each other very well, conversed with Hlawa, who until now had known nothing about the intended expedition into the Teutonic regions. "I am going to Malborg," he said, "but God knows when I shall return.... Perhaps soon, in the spring, in a year, and perhaps not at all, do you understand?" "I do.
"No." "Why?" "Because you have returned." Then the Bohemian looked at her with gratitude, smiled, and said: "Bah! If we kept on talking in that manner we might have continued till morning. What a smart woman you are!" "Make no fun of me," quietly replied Sieciechowa. In fact she was as smart as any woman; and Hlawa who was himself a cunning fellow understood it well.
Repeat what I have told you to the abbot and to Zych; perhaps they will not be so angry with Zbyszko." "How can I tell them anything? Tatus is more sorrowful than angry; but it is dangerous even to mention Zbyszko's name to the abbot. He scolded me because I sent Zbyszko a servant." "What servant?" "We had a Czech, whom tatus captured at Boleslawiec, a good, faithful boy. His name was Hlawa.
"How will it be here," thought Hlawa, "with a maiden who is already almost tortured to death!" Now and then, it happened that they had to cross swamps and deep ravines, which continuous spring rains filled for days with rushing streams. Lakes, too, were not wanting in the wilderness, in which they saw at sunset whole flocks of deer and elk disporting in the red transparent waters.
