She alone could drive him away; and even then he would not go far, because he was bound by his vow. He imagined, however, that she would not drive him away; but rather that she would follow him from the Mazowiecki court, even to the end of the world. Then he began to praise her to himself to Jagienka's disadvantage, as if it were her fault, that temptations assailed him and his heart was divided.
Then having bent toward Jagienka's ear, he said: "You must remember, dear girl, that even if he take you, he will be obliged to fight just the same; a nobleman must be a knight." Here he bent still closer and added: "And he will take you, and before long, as God is in heaven!" "I do not know about that!" answered Jagienka.
Zybszko, having joined Zych and Jagienka, who were accompanying the abbot and his retinue to Krzesnia, rode with them, because he wanted to show the abbot that he was afraid neither of Wilk of Brzozowa, nor of Cztan of Rogow. He was again surprised at Jagienka's beauty.
But the Bohemian was greatly moved, because he understood that it would be equally bad for her, in case she had to return to Zgorzelice and be in the neighborhood of the rapacious villains Cztan and Wilk: or to remain in Spychow, where sooner or later Zbyszko might come with Danusia. Hlawa seemed to understand Jagienka's troubles, but he had no remedy for them.
He took the net, kissed it, and hid it in his breast. Then he embraced Jagienka's feet once more, and did the same, though a little more strongly than was necessary, to Sieciechowna. Then with the words: "Let it be so," he left the house without another word. Although he was about to travel and in want of rest, he did not go to sleep.
Sieciechowa did not reply, but instead, pressed her lips to the cheeks of her mistress and showered kisses upon them. At Anulka's kisses, poor Jagienka's breast heaved. "Oh, I understand, I understand," she whispered, so low that Anulka's ear scarcely caught her words. After a mild and foggy night, a windy and gloomy day came.
I asked Zbyszko then: 'Did you see? and his eyes shone. I have also noticed that although at first they did not speak much to each other, now when they go together, they are continually turning their heads toward each other, and they talk talk! Have some more mead?" "Yes, I will." "To Zbyszko and Jagienka's health!"
They will be raging when they hear of Jagienka's departure. But she and my property are safe. The Lord Jesus has endowed men with skill, so that when one cannot make use of his fist, he uses his mind.
