And in a moment in the side door Danusia appeared; her eyes were red on account of sleepless nights; and she held a pot of steaming gruel, which the ksiondz Wyszoniek had ordered to be put on Zbyszko's fractured bones. "Come to me, my dear girl!" said Prince Janusz. "Put aside the pot and come."
Sir de Lorche was so ill toward morning that he was obliged to go to bed, and on the following day he could not move his hand nor his foot, without great pain in all the bones. The princess Danusia and some other ladies of the court nursed the sick men and prepared for them, according to the prescriptions of the ksiondz Wyszoniek, different ointments and potions.
Zbyszko and Danusia remained sometime in silence; the ksiondz Wyszoniek took the chalice and carried it to the chapel of the mansion.
Then the ksiondz Wyszoniek threw fresh logs on the charcoal and when something whined in the wood, as happens very often when the wood is fresh, he said: "Penitent soul, what do you wish?"
But further conversation was interrupted by the ksiondz Wyszoniek, who entering the room, nodded to Danusia and said: "Praise God and come to Zbyszko! He has awakened and has asked for something to eat. He is much better." In fact it was so. Zbyszko was a great deal better, and the ksiondz Wyszoniek was almost sure that he would recover, when an unexpected accident upset all his expectations.
Then he became thoughtful and after a while he began to say to the courtiers: "I cannot understand why they killed their guest; I would suspect the shield-bearer if I did not know that he went there without weapons." "Bah!" said the ksiondz Wyszoniek, "why should the boy kill him? He had not seen him before. Then suppose be had had arms, how could he attack five of them and their armed retinues?"
The conversation was interrupted by the entrance of Danusia and the ksiondz Wyszoniek. The princess immediately asked his advice and began to tell him with great enthusiasm about Zbyszko's plan; but as soon as he heard about it, he made the sign of the cross from astonishment and said: "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost! How can I do it? It is advent!"
The market place was filled with lanterns and torches. Almost till daybreak, there was great life and animation throughout the city. During the morning, they heard more news from the castle. They heard that the ksiondz Bishop Peter, had baptized the child during the night. On account of this, they feared that the little girl was not very strong.
You are indebted to her for your life." Zbyszko did not answer, but began to breathe heavily; the Czech was silent for a while, then he said: "If you wish me to hasten to Bogdaniec, I will go. Perhaps you will be glad to see the old lord, because God only knows whether you will recover." "What does the ksiondz Wyszoniek say?" asked Zbyszko.
They pointed out also, that Zbyszko had fallen in a snow-drift and that had saved him, because on account of the softness the animal when pressing him with his horns, could not entirely crush his chest, nor his backbone. Unfortunately the prince's physician, the ksiondz Wyszoniek of Dziewanna, was not with the hunting party, being busy in the chateau making wafers.
