There came upon Jagienka such a moment of grief and longing, that she could not conceal her feelings, but said: "I shall never see him again, or if I see him, it will be with Jurandowna, and then I will cry my eyes out." She raised her apron and covered her eyes, which were filled with tears. Macko said: "Stop crying! He has gone, but with God's grace, he will not come back with Jurandowna."
It seems that Prince Witold went to Krakow to interview the king and ask his permission and help." "But in the neighborhood are the fortresses of the Knights of the Cross. If only two could be taken, we might find there Jurandowna, or hear of her death." "Or nothing." "But Zygfried brought her to this part of the country.
I know that there are good knights among the Germans; but I think that it will take a very good one to defeat Zbyszko. See how he routed Cztan of Rogow and Wilk of Brzozowa, although they are said to be dreadful boys and as strong as bears. He will bring his crests, but he will not bring Jurandowna." "But when will he return?" "Bah I if you are not willing to wait, then you will not be wronged.
But as for Jurandowna, even you, sir, will not find her, for probably she is already in the other world, and where death is concerned, even the greatest cunning cannot prevail." Macko was absorbed in thought for a long while, after which he said: "Ha! Then there is no counsel. Cunning cannot prevail against death.
She is still here, because Jurandowna is sick, and the princess loves her as her own child." "For God's sake! Then Danusia is sick! What is the matter with her?" "I don't know! The princess says that somebody has thrown a spell over her." "I am sure it is Lichtenstein! Nobody else, only Lichtenstein a dog-brother!" "It may be he. But what can you do to him? Nothing!"
But the princess and Jurandowna did not recognize Zbyszko at once, because he kneeled with his back toward the fire and his face was in the shadow. The princess thought that it was some courtier, who, having been guilty of some offence, besought her intervention with the prince; but Danusia having keener sight, advanced one step, and having bent her fair head, cried suddenly: "Zbyszko!"
Finally great grief filled him because he must leave her before he could accomplish the vow which he had made to her. "Poor child, I cannot put at your feet those peacock crests," said he. "But when I stand in the presence of God, I will say: 'Lord, forgive me my sins, and give Panna Jurandowna of Spychow all riches on earth." "You met only a short time ago," said the princess.
Zbyszko sprang toward him and said: "How is Danusia? Is she well yet? Don't be angry for a trifle. You have been absent so long!" Again he bent toward the old man who shrugged his shoulders and said mildly: "Jurandowna is well, only they will not let her go out of her room yet. Good-bye!" Zbyszko remained alone, but he felt as if he had been regenerated.
I am sure there will be tournaments; then you can fight, if the prince and the comthurs give permission." "I have a board on which is written a challenge for anyone who will not affirm that Panna Danuta Jurandowna is the most virtuous and the most beautiful girl in the world; but everywhere the people shrugged their shoulders and laughed."
On the card I will proclaim that Panna Danuta Jurandowna is the prettiest and most virtuous girl among all living in this or any other kingdom. Anyone who wishes to contradict this declaration, I will fight until one of us dies or is taken into captivity." "Very well! I see you know the knightly custom. And what more?"
