When the Bohemian observed them, he wished to approach and show the net which he had attached to his helmet, then wish her good-bye once more, but Father Kaleb and old Tolima, who came to give him advice for his journey, interrupted him. "Go first to the court of Prince Janusz," said the priest. "Perhaps Pan Macko stopped there.
She was very much surprised when a stranger came instead of the old Tolima, who used to bear the shield after Jurand and usually carried his messages; but the stranger told her that Tolima had been seriously injured in the last fight with the Germans and that he was dying in Spychow; Jurand being very ill himself, asked her to send his daughter immediately, because every day he saw less and less, and perhaps in a few days he would become blind.
Then she burst out weeping, and the armor-bearer bowed again at her feet, and said: "You are indeed like an angel in heaven." But she wiped away her tears, took the armor-bearer with her and went to Jurand to tell him the news. She found him in a bright room, the tame she-wolf at his feet, sitting with Father Kaleb, old Tolima and Sieciechowa.
Finally, old Tolima, who was Jurand's right hand, his companion in all battles, and the chief guard of Spychow, said: "That man of Hades, that werewolf Knight of the Cross who tortured you and your child stands now before you. Give a sign what shall be done to him, and in what manner we shall chastise him!"
That sight, and that expressive prayer crushed the hearts of all present; even old Tolima, the confirmed, hardened warrior, made the sign of the Holy Cross, and immediately embraced Jurand's feet and said: "Lord, if you want your wishes to be accomplished, then the prisoner should be led to the frontier." "Yes!" nodded Jurand.
"I will call him," said Tolima, and he left. But before he brought the priest, Jagienka entered. "Come here," said Macko. "Do you know the news? Zbyszko was here only two days ago." Her face changed in a moment and she almost tottered. "He was, and left?" she asked, with quickly beating heart. "Where to?" "It is only two days since he left, but where to I do not know. May be the priest knows."
Cape Good Hope has now a sub-arctic climate, and the heart of the wild Kaffir and Zulu rejoices that the sceptre of "perfidious Albion" is broken. The thermal equator at length reaches the base of Mt. Tolima, and hastens northward to the Isthmus, and thence to Hondurus and New Guatemala, where, by sheer force of exhaustion, it comes to a halt.
At that moment old Tolima entered, and with him were the garrison of the town, the former and present elders of the peasants of Spychow, foresters, fishermen, etc., because the news of Jurand's return had rapidly spread throughout Spychow.
It struck Tolima that it would be advisable to make the sign of the cross over Zygfried, but he refrained from doing so, because, he thought, that under the sign of the cross, he would hear unearthly voices, and Zygfried would be transformed into a hideous being. His teeth chattered and his fear increased.
Macko therefore spoke to the old man with the voice of a superior: "I am the uncle of your young master, and as long as he is away, I am the commander here." Tolima bowed his grey head, which had something wolfish, and surrounding his ear with his hand, asked: "Then you are, sir, the noble knight from Bogdaniec?" "Yes!" replied Macko. "How do you know it?"
