The yagers, letting them come near, poured upon them a hail of bullets; Isajewicz, Wilbik, and Razor fell wounded; then the gentry were checked by Robak on one side and Maciej on the other. The gentry cooled in their ardour, glanced about, and retired; the Muscovites saw this, and Captain Rykov planned to give the final blow, to drive the gentry from the yard and seize the mansion.
Thus ended the last foray in Lithuania.165 Consultation in regard to securing the fortunes of the victors—Negotiations with Rykov—The farewell—An important discovery—Hope.
Gerwazy looked around and stroked his bald pate; he made a careless motion of his hand as if to signify that he had already arranged the whole matter. But Rykov persisted:— “Well, will Plut keep quiet? Has he given his word to do so?”
"We'll keep Nick informed but he ought to remain where he is. We'll still want our men in the basic positions of power after we've won." "He might get hurt," Gunther scowled.
