"To Mazowsze to see Danusia; and after that to search for peacock's tufts among the Germans." Macko was silent for a moment, then he said: "He returned the 'letter, but the mortgage is recorded in the mortgage-book at the court. Now the abbot will not give us even a skojec." "I do not care. You have money, and I do not need anything for my journey.
Such a longing to see her, filled his heart, that he forgot that he was in the forest waiting for the bear; instead of that he began to talk to himself: "I will go to see you, because I cannot live without you." He felt that he must go to Mazowsze; that if he remained in Bogdaniec, he would become good for nothing.
I would not ask for Jurand's permission, because our gracious lady consents and, vouches for the prince's consent well! they are the mother and the father for the whole of Mazowsze. But without a bishop's dispensation, I cannot.
"Your grand master has nothing to do with Mazowsze!" "The emperor and the whole German nation will help him." "The king of Poland will help me, and he is more powerful than the German emperor." "Does Your Highness wish for a war with the Order?" "If I wanted a war, I would not wait for you to come to Mazowsze, but would go toward you; you need not threaten me, because I am not afraid of you."
Hugo von Danveld, having his own grievance against Jurand, the remembrance of which burned him with shame and grief, asked for vengeance almost threateningly. "The complaint will go to the grand master," he said; "and if we be not able to get justice from Your Grace, he will obtain it himself, even if the whole Mazowsze help that robber."
"And so admit before the whole world that we, in a time of peace and concord with the prince of Mazowsze, ravished from his court the pupil of the princess and her beloved courtlady?
There are in our city, bah! even among the knechts of the garrison, some men who left Mazowsze because they were pursued by the law; it is true they are thieves and robbers; but they do not fear anybody and they are ready to do anything. To those men, I will promise, in case they succeed, a large reward; if they fail, a rope." "Bah! Suppose they betray us?"
Three days afterward, a woman arrived with the Hercynski balm and with her came the captain of the archers from Szczytno, with a letter, signed by the brothers and sealed with Danveld's seal; in that letter the Knights of the Cross called on heaven and earth as witnesses of the wrongs committed against them in Mazowsze, and with a threat of God's vengeance, they asked for punishment for the murder of their "beloved comrade and guest."
Therefore he could scarcely believe his own eyes, when having reached Mazowsze, he saw churches in the towns, crosses on the towers, priests, knights with holy signs on their armor and the people, very daring indeed, and ready for a fight, but Christian and not more rapacious than the Germans, among whom the young knight had traveled.
When they turn toward Mazowsze, we will turn toward home; may God help us!" "If I can only live long enough to rebuild the grodek!" exclaimed Macko. "I know that after my death, you will not think anything more about Bogdaniec." "Why will I not?" "Because your head will be filled with thoughts of battles and of love." "Did you not think yourself about war?
