"I saw it," replied the vagabond, "because I grasped the tail of one of the horses which carried the litter, and held on until I received a kick in my stomach. Then I fainted, and that was the reason that you captured me." "That might happen," said Hlawa, "but take care, if anything you say turns out to be false; in such case you shall fare badly."
Go to the prince, perhaps they know something about Danusia there. Hlawa and I arrived, and just heard how that dog was barking about Teutonic grievances and Jurand's frenzy.... My lord, I accepted his challenge, because I had challenged him before, and although I know nothing, this much I know, that they are hellish liars without shame, without honor and without belief!
Then she added, in such a wonderful tone, that it caused the Bohemian's heart to melt: "And you, Hlawa." The conversation ceased for a while. But the armor-bearer was glad for himself and for her words. For he said to himself: "At least it shall not be said that she has been fed with ingratitude."
He remembered that he had received the Czech from Jagienka and that had it not been for her kind heart, he would have perished. He feared that he never would be able to repay the good-hearted girl for her kindness, but that he would only be the cause of her sorrow. "I swore to my panienka," said Hlawa, "on my honor of a wlodyka, that I would protect you; therefore I will do it without any reward.
"Nobody; I frightened away a wolf that was smelling around him." The mention of a wolf quieted Hlawa, for it told him that there were neither people nor farms in the neighborhood. Then Jagienka said: "Look there, what is that?" Hlawa rushed ahead, and soon returned hurriedly. "Zygfried is hanging there!" he exclaimed while reining in his horse in front of Jagienka.
Hlawa moreover pressed so vigorously that van Krist, almost from the first moment, was compelled to retreat.
Hlawa did not say this seriously; he even smiled as he spoke, for his heart was well inclined toward Sanderus. The latter, however, was terror-stricken, and shouted. "Mercy! Mercy! Give me some more of that pagan drink and I will tell you all that I have and that I have not seen." "If you tell lies, even one word that is not true, I will drive a wedge between your teeth," said the Bohemian.
Then she related to him how they first met him, how Hlawa, the Bohemian, who was Zbyszko's armor-bearer, recognized him, and finally how they brought him to Spychow.
"I said: 'the hands, as it is customary to say," replied the priest. "But one hand is enough, if God will." "Surely," answered Hlawa. But in his voice there was something discouraging when he thought that it appeared like a miracle. Jagienka's entrance interrupted further conversation. "Now I have informed him carefully of the news," she said.
Hlawa and yourself said that Zbyszko will never find Danusia, and the Bohemian's hope of finding her is even less. God is my witness that I do not wish her evil in the least. Let the mother of God watch over that poor girl and keep her. Zbyszko loved her more than myself. Well, I cannot help it. Such is my lot.
