Seeing this, the pontnik, although he had not hitherto been able to restrain his fear, now put his hands on his hips, lounged on the bench, stretched out his legs and looked at Jurand, with eyes full of pride and scorn. A long silence followed. "Brother Markward also assists Brother Shomberg in guarding her," again said the woman; "it is a vigilant watch and no harm will happen to the lady."
The pontnik and the servant of the Order looked for a long time at each other and Jurand, who sat leaning against the wall, motionless, and with a face deeply shadowed by furs suspended by the window.
He did not foresee though, that a great disappointment was awaiting him. Besides the horsemen, who were given for defence, and the driver, the embassy from Szczytno was composed of two persons: one of these was the same woman who had once brought the healing balsam to the Forest Court; the other was a young pontnik.
Meanwhile the others grew tired of the long waiting, therefore the servant of the Order arose and said: "It will be soon daylight, therefore permit us, sir, to retire, because we need a rest." "And refreshment after the long journey," added the pontnik. Then they both bowed to Jurand and went out. But he continued to sit motionless, as if seized by sleep or death.
"But your child was never in question," hissed the messenger in reply. And again silence followed, after which the pontnik, who, in the meanwhile had gained courage, and judged that Jurand must now restrain himself more, said: "Such is the will of the brethren Shomberg and Markward."
