"Sir, are you not ill?" said the priest Kaleb, who, knowing Jurand better, noticed that something curious was taking place within him. "No!" replied Jurand. "And Danusia?" further inquired Zbyszko; "where is she and what did they say to you?" "What did they bring?" "The ransom," slowly replied Jurand. "The ransom for von Bergow?" "For von Bergow...."
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.
"How can that be ascertained?" asked Father Kaleb. "If we knew that the priest of Szczytno had already returned from the synod. I should like to see him," said Macko. "I have letters from Lichtenstein to Szczytno and I can go there without fear." "It was not a synod gathering, but a congress," replied Father Kaleb, "and the chaplain must have returned long ago." "Very well.
And Jurand continued: "This is my will, written by Father Kaleb, and below is my seal in wax; you must testify that you have heard this from me, and that I ordered that the young knight should be obeyed here even as I am. Furthermore, what is in the treasury in booty and money, you will show him, and you will serve him faithfully in peace as well as in war till death. Did you hear?"
"Swear to me now upon this little cross that you will never harm her and that you will love her constantly...." And tears suddenly started in Zbyszko's eyes; in a moment he fell upon his knees and, putting a finger on the hilt, exclaimed: "Upon the Holy Passion, I will never harm, and will love her constantly!" "Amen," said Father Kaleb.
"Zbyszko's armor-bearer has arrived from Szczytno," said the girl, "and has brought news from the priest. Macko will not return to this place. He went to Prince Witold." "Why will he not return here?" asked Father Kaleb. Then she told all she had heard from the Bohemian.
Did Jurand perchance tell you any thing? Because, you see, here is Jurand's letter, by the hand of the priest Kaleb, and his seal, and in this letter Jurand says that he knows that it was not the Teutons. What did he tell you?" "He said that it was not the Teutons." "How then can you risk your life and appeal to the judgment of God?"
He did not say where he was going." "He did not say, eh?" "May be he told the priest Kaleb." "Hey! Mighty God, then we crossed each other on the road," he said, putting his hands on his ribs. But Tolima put his hand to the other ear: "What did you say, sir?" "Where is Father Kaleb?" "He is at the bedside of the old master." Call him, but stop ... I will go myself to see him."
"Zbyszko hoped," said Father Kaleb, "that Prince Witold would make an inroad into Prussia and take some of the castles there." "If time were given to him, he would not delay," replied Macko. "Praise God now, we know at least where to look for Zbyszko." "We must press on at once," said Jagienka. "Silence!" said Macko. "It is not becoming for a boy to interrupt the council."
"If you put him to the torture, you might obtain a lot of information." "Wait!" said Zbyszko. Meanwhile, in the next room hardly had the doors closed behind Zbyszko and the priest Kaleb, when the sister of the Order quickly approached Jurand and whispered: "Robbers captured your daughter." "With crosses on their robes?" "No.
