You must be faithful to the anointed lord, avoid unrighteous war and defend innocence against oppression; may God and His Holy Passion help you!" "Amen!" answered the ksiondz Wyszoniek. The prince arose, made the sign of the cross over Zbyszko and added: "And when you recover, go immediately to Ciechanow, where I will summon Jurand."
But the princess said: "I will not promise you anything without Father Wyszoniek. Run for him immediately!" Danusia went after Father Wyszoniek; Zbyszko turned his pale face toward the princess, and said: "What the Lord Jesus has destined for me will happen; but for this consolation, may God reward you, gracious lady."
They were waiting in silence, listening to the throbbing of their own hearts uneasy and affected by the solemnity of the moment which was coming. In fact, after midnight, the princess took Danusia by the hand and conducted her to Zbyszko's room, where Father Wyszoniek was waiting for them.
The conversation was interrupted by the entrance of Danusia and the ksiondz Wyszoniek. The princess immediately asked his advice and began to tell him with great enthusiasm about Zbyszko's plan; but as soon as he heard about it, he made the sign of the cross from astonishment and said: "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost! How can I do it? It is advent!"
Zbyszko and the princess feared lest he was dead, but at the same moment his breast began to heave and he breathed deeply like one who is fast asleep. Father Wyszoniek put his finger to his lips and motioned not to awake him, then he whispered: "He may sleep thus a whole day." "So, but what did he say?" asked the princess. "He said that the child waits in Ciechanow," Zbyszko replied.
Sir de Lorche was so ill toward morning that he was obliged to go to bed, and on the following day he could not move his hand nor his foot, without great pain in all the bones. The princess Danusia and some other ladies of the court nursed the sick men and prepared for them, according to the prescriptions of the ksiondz Wyszoniek, different ointments and potions.
You are indebted to her for your life." Zbyszko did not answer, but began to breathe heavily; the Czech was silent for a while, then he said: "If you wish me to hasten to Bogdaniec, I will go. Perhaps you will be glad to see the old lord, because God only knows whether you will recover." "What does the ksiondz Wyszoniek say?" asked Zbyszko.
He is very severe with the canons in Plock." "Do not be afraid of the bishop. I have heard that he has forbidden the priest to carry swords and crossbows and has forbidden different licenses, but he has not forbidden them to do good." The ksiondz Wyszoniek raised his eyes and his hands, and said: "Let it be according to your wish!" At this word, joy filled their hearts.
"Because he does not remember," explained the priest. Father Wyszoniek feared that even at Jurand's next awakening, he might be stupefied and might not recover consciousness for a long time. Meanwhile he promised the princess and Zbyszko to let them know when the old knight could speak, and himself retired after they left.
But Zbyszko was very severely injured, and from time to time blood gushed from his mouth, and this alarmed the ksiondz Wyszoniek very much. He was conscious however, and on the second day, although very weak, having learned from Danusia to whom he owed his life, called Hlawa to thank and reward him.
