"We are on the right road," murmured the kopanitschar; "there goes the track of the bear through the juniper tree, and yonder is the place by which the hares, the wild goats, and the buffaloes go up every morning to drink out of the mountain tarn. We are close upon the Devil's Castle." But surely he must have been mistaken! How can that be the right way which leads to the Devil's Castle?
And, indeed, no one had the courage to follow him but one man, and that man was the kopanitschar. "Janko had looked for him all night long in order to kill him, but he had remained concealed in a hayrick till midday. At midday, he crept out of his hiding-place and went to look for Janko. He had no other weapon but a long, two-pronged wooden fork, which they use in those parts to toss hay.
To prevent the young wife from growing weary on the slippery way, he hewed down with his hanger two young pine trees and made a litter out of them, on which weary Michal was made to sit, while he and the guide bore her between them over the most difficult parts of the way. The kopanitschar spoke Polish with the trumpeter in order that the lady might not understand what they were talking about.
Did you see the wife of the kopanitschar?" "Yes, and a wondrously lovely little creature she is." At these words the eyes of the robber sparkled. "That woman is my sweetheart! Did you see her husband?" "Yes, and a very polite old man he is." "Well, if you know them, go back to them once more. I'll pay your traveling expenses" here he proudly jingled the ducats in his girdle.
