Both rushed to the font of holy water, plunged their hands in, and then stretched them toward the girl. But Zbyszko did the same, and she touched his fingers; then having made the sign of the cross, she entered the church with him. Then not only young Wilk, but Cztan of Rogow also, notwithstanding his stupidity, understood that this had been done purposely, and both were very angry.
"Well!" replied Macko, "especially as she is an orphan, and Cztan of Rogow and Wilk of Brzozowa continually press their court to her." At that the Bohemian straightened himself up. "Is the young lady an orphan?... The knight Zych?..." "Then you do not know." "For the love of God! What has happened?" "Well you are right.
I would chase them back home and even attack them in Rogow or Brzozowa. Father knew very well that he could go to the war and leave me home alone." Speaking thus, she frowned, and shook the crossbow threateningly, so that Zbyszko began to laugh, and said: "You ought to have been a knight and not a girl." She becoming calmer, answered: "Cztan guarded me from Wilk and Wilk from Cztan.
This effort gave them relief and they came to their senses; then they stood, pale from their exertion, puffing and looking at each other. Cztan of Rogow was the first to break the silence. "What now?" asked he. "What?" answered Wilk. "Shall we attack him immediately?" "How can we do that in the church?" "Not in the church, but after mass." "He is with Zych and the abbot.
Macko thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "But Wilk of Brzozowa and Cztan of Rogow would be furious." "Let them! It might be worse if they came after us." "Well! Fear not. I am an old man, but let them beware of my fist. All the Gradys are of the same mettle!... However, they have already tested Zbyszko...." Meanwhile they arrived at Krzesnia.
Zybszko, having joined Zych and Jagienka, who were accompanying the abbot and his retinue to Krzesnia, rode with them, because he wanted to show the abbot that he was afraid neither of Wilk of Brzozowa, nor of Cztan of Rogow. He was again surprised at Jagienka's beauty.
"Well, do not have too much confidence in yourself. Bear also in mind that even there, at Zgorzelice, it will be necessary to watch Wilk of Brzozowa and Cztan of Rogow. But, I confess, in speaking of Wilk and Cztan, I am out of order; for, it was necessary to watch them when there was nothing else to think of.
While walking, Jagienka pointed to the large meadow covered with reeds and to the blue ribbon of forest and said: "Those woods belong to Cztan of Rogow." "The same man who would like to take you?" She began to laugh: "He would if he could!" "You can defend yourself very easily, having for your defence the Wilk who, as I understand, gnashes his teeth at Cztan.
"I have told you candidly from whom most damage is expected. It is from no other quarter but from Cztan of Rogow. Although we were hostile to each other, I fear nothing from you because you are noble people who would face your adversaries, yet would not revenge yourselves by acting meanly. You are quite different. A knight is always a knight.
