There was an ill-omened silence, which finally was broken by Macko: "Zbyszku!" exclaimed he, "come to your wits again! What is the matter with you?" Meanwhile the abbot raised his hand and pointing toward the youth, began to shout: "What is the matter with him? I know what is the matter; he has not the heart of a nobleman, nor of a knight, but of a hare!
After a while he exclaimed in a sudden burst of anger: "Then you do not understand that I love you, and that I will not give your head instead of mine?" At this, Macko stood on his trembling feet, stretched out his hands, and although the nature of the people of those days, was hard, as if forged of iron, be cried suddenly in a heartbroken voice: "Zbyszku!"
Here he again stopped, searching for words which he could not find; although he kneeled before the girl like a foreign knight, and showed her his respect in every way, still he could not express his love in words. Therefore he said: "My love for you is so great that it stops my breathing." "I also love you, Zbyszku!" said she, hastily. "Hej, my dearest! hej, my sweet girl" exclaimed Zbyszko.
At that moment Danusia interrupted him; she came crying and said from the threshold: "Zbyszku! Do you know about it already! I pity tatus, but I pity you also, poor boy!" When she approached, Zbyszko encircled his love with his well arm, and began to speak: "How can I live without you, my dearest?
Zbyszko put his elbows on his knees and dropped his head so that his hair covered his face entirely. The old man looked at him a long time and finally began to call him softly: "Zbyszku! Zbyszku!" The boy raised his head. His face had an expression of anger and of cold hatred, but not of weakness. "What?" "Listen carefully; perhaps I have found a way of escape."
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.
