It also happened now as before, that Jagienka, observing him through the window, rushed toward him, and he fell at her feet. He was speechless for a while. But she soon lifted him up and took him aside, as she did not wish to interrogate him in the presence of others. "What news?" she asked, trembling with impatience, and scarcely able to catch her breath. "Is she alive? Well?" "Alive! Well!"
Sometimes one of them sticks out a hairy paw from behind a tree and shakes it, begging for something." "Macko told me the same," answered Jagienka. "Yes! He told me about it on the road," said Zych. "Well, no wonder!
Macko and Jagienka reined in their horses, looked in the direction indicated by the guide, and they indeed descried, about the middle of the hill, a figure, which appeared to be of more than human proportions. "To tell the truth the man seems to be huge," murmured Macko. Then he frowned, and suddenly spat and said: "Let the evil charm be upon the dog." "Why are you conjuring?" asked Jagienka.
Then all knelt down, because it was the Litany, which is not only said at the moment of death, but also for the delivery of dear and near persons from the danger of death. Jagienka knelt; Jurand slipped down from his seat and knelt, and all began to pray in chorus: "Lord have mercy upon us!" "Christ have mercy upon us!" "O God the Father in Heaven, have mercy upon us!"
But I tell you this; if the Germans do not kill him, then he will come back; and he will come back not only to me an old man, not only to Bogdaniec, but to you, because he was very fond of you." "I don't believe he was!" said Jagienka. But she drew near Macko, and having touched him with her elbow, she asked: "How do you know it? I am sure that is not true." "How do I know?" answered Macko.
It is a pity," replied the Bohemian, apparently vexed. "Don't fear. Then they, including Jagienka, began to take counsel among themselves concerning further action. Macko thought of leaving Jagienka and Sieciechowa with Princess Alexandra at Plock, owing to the abbot's will, which was in the possession of the bishop.
Pan Macko has letters from Lichtenstein which he can show when necessary; but I have nothing to show, I shall therefore be obliged to make a free road for myself." Then he placed his hand upon his sword. At that Jagienka exclaimed: "Be careful! It is necessary to travel as fast as possible, but on the other hand you must be careful to avoid being caught and imprisoned by the Knights of the Cross.
At this Jagienka stopped on the spot, and fixing her eyes on Zbyszko, asked in a strange, soft, low voice: "You would take me?" Then her lips parted and blushing like the dawn, she waited for his answer.
But the next quarts did not taste as well as the first; but he continued to drink it and Jagienka encouraged him, saying: "You will get well. Zbilud of Ostrog had the links of a coat of mail driven into his neck; but they slipped out because he drank grease. But when your wound opens, you must put some grease of a beaver on it." "Have you some?" "Yes, we have.
I have been away from home for a long time, therefore I do not know whether there is somebody around Zgorzelice, of whom you are fond or not." "Hej!" answered Jagienka. "Let it be!" They walked along silently, trying to make their way through the thicket which was now much denser because the bushes and the trees were covered with wild hop vines.
