Cztan and Wilk also thought that I should choose one of them, so they kept their temper. But now I stand alone without a protector; then either I shall remain at Zgorzelice in a fortress, like a prisoner, or they will do us some harm without fail. Is it not so?" "Yes," said Macko, "I thought of it myself." "And what did you devise?"
Deputed authority, guardianship, &c, not known to the Northern nations; they gained this idea by intercourse with the Romans. Jud. Civ. Lund. apud Wilk. post p. 68. Spelman of Feuds, ch. 5. Fuerunt etiam in conquestu liberi homines, qui libere tenuerunt tenementa sua per libera servitia vel per liberas consuetudines. For the original of copyholds, see Bracton, Lib. I. fol. 7.
"Because the poor thing is a good girl, she loved her father more than a man loves his mother. Then too she is not safe in Zgorzelice. After the funeral, scarcely had the snow covered Zych's grave, when Cztan and Wilk stepped into the mansion of Zgorzelice. My people were informed of it beforehand.
I know that there are good knights among the Germans; but I think that it will take a very good one to defeat Zbyszko. See how he routed Cztan of Rogow and Wilk of Brzozowa, although they are said to be dreadful boys and as strong as bears. He will bring his crests, but he will not bring Jurandowna." "But when will he return?" "Bah I if you are not willing to wait, then you will not be wronged.
Then old Wilk rushed toward Macko, and with his son, both of them pressed his right hand, they made him sit at a comfortable place at the table; in a second they threw another log on the fireplace, spread the table and put upon it a dish full of food, a jug of beer, a pitcher of mead, and began to eat and drink.
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.
He had wished with his whole heart that Zbyszko would marry Jagienka; but he now realized that this wish would never be fulfilled; and considering the abbot's anger, the behavior of Zbyszko toward Jagienka and finally the fight with Cztan and Wilk, he concluded it would be better to allow Zbyszko to go.
From such a fellow anything might be expected, as you know. He is very bitter against me because I spoiled his game with Jagienka." "Whom you reserve for your nephew," burst out young Wilk. Macko looked at him and held him under his cold gaze for a moment, then he turned to the old man and said quietly: "You know, my nephew married a rich Mazovian proprietress and took considerable dower."
Finally when they were near the other shore, she said: "Zbyszku!" "What?" "I care neither for Cztan, nor for Wilk." As he placed her on the shore, he answered excitedly: "May God give you the best I He will not be wronged." The Odstajny lake was not far away now. Jagienka walking in front, turned from time to time, and putting a finger on her lips, ordered Zbyszko to be silent.
