Happily that fear turned out to be groundless, because they did not find Sanderus at the appointed second post, but found instead an incision in the form of a cross, apparently newly cut into the bark of an adjacent pine tree. They looked at each other and their hearts began to beat faster.
There was silence for a moment. Finally, the shrewd Macko who did not know Sanderus, and who had scarcely heard of him previously, looked at him with suspicion, and asked: "Who are you and what were you doing among the Knights of the Cross?" "Who am I, powerful knight?" replied Sanderus. "Sir, you have saved my life twice.
While lying in bed he decided to get rid of Sanderus; but afterward he thought that the scoundrel might be useful to him because he could speak German. Sanderus had not told him a falsehood; and although he was a costly acquisition, because he ate and drank as much as four men would in the inns, still he was serviceable, and showed some attachment for the young knight.
Zbyszko, seeing that he could not do otherwise, because Jendrek of Kropiwnica would not permit them to fight, called Sanderus, and told him to explain to the Lotaringer knight, that they could fight only in Ciechanow.
Thus saying he gathered as much snow as he could hold with both gauntlets and threw it at Sanderus' beard, but the latter bent aside and said: "There is nothing for you in Ciechanow, for there is already a grown-up bear that plays with snow." Thus they loved to tease each other.
"There is another proof," replied Sanderus; "let one who wishes take a note of it; yet it is better to believe a man's word than to condemn him as one who does not tell the truth." "Although you sometimes unwillingly tell the truth, you will howl for simony." And they began to tease each other as they formerly did, but Zbyszko interrupted their chatter.
When he arrived at the inn, he asked for Sanderus. "The prior thinks you are a scoundrel," said Zbyszko, "because he said: 'Why should he be afraid of the bishop's judgment, if he had good testimonials?" "I am not afraid of the bishop," answered Sanderus; "I am afraid of the monks, who do not know anything about seals.
The setting sun brightly illuminated the lawn, the pitch-burning heaps, and the two detached shanties in front of one of which the two knights were sitting upon the ground; and in front of the other were Sanderus and a bearded, red-headed fellow. These two were occupied in polishing the coats of mail with rags.
During the bait, he commenced therefore to inquire of the Bohemian and Sanderus about her, but neither knew exactly what had become of her. It seemed to them, that she had left either in company with those people, who came for Danusia, or soon after them.
Sanderus went with them. They knew the road as far as the battlefield very well, but beyond that he was to guide them.
