Having advanced a few steps, he suddenly halted, when below quite near him he heard something like the breathing of a man, or beast. "Who is there?" But there was no answer, only the breathing grew quicker. Zygfried was not a timid man; he was not afraid of death. But the preceding terrible night had quite exhausted his courage and self-control.
Only at short intervals, when lit up by blood-colored lightning, could be seen the wild dangling body of Zygfried by the roadside. The following morning, advancing upon the same road, a numerous train might be seen. In front was Jagienkna, with Sieciechowna and the Bohemian. Behind them moved the wagons, surrounded by four servants, armed with bows and swords.
Zybszko meanwhile mastered his emotion and said: "I am very thankful to you and I shall surely reward you. But now, answer my questions. Will you swear, by the salvation of your soul, that she is alive?" "I swear by the salvation of my soul that she is alive," replied Sanderus, with a serious air. "Why did Zygfried leave Szczytno?" "I do not know, sir.
"Zygfried has the heart of a hangman, and not that of a knight," whispered Wolfgang to Arnold, "and that serpent, although she is the cause of your liberty, I will order to be beaten with rods." They were also touched when they saw Zbyszko carrying her in his arms, as a mother is wont to carry her child.
That is the reason why I am standing here." "God reward you. Tell me how it happened!" The Bohemian related briefly how they rescued Danusia, how they captured the giant Arnold together with Zygfried. He also informed them that he had brought Zygfried with him, because the young knight wished to present him to Jurand so that the latter might avenge himself.
There was a moment of silence; then the sturdy and virulent Zygfried von Loeve spoke: "We must finish once for all with that bloody dog!" said he. "Herr von Bergow must be released from his fetters. We will gather the garrisons from Szczytno, Insburk and Lubowa; we will summon the Chelminsk nobility and attack Jurand. It is time to settle with him!"
Then one could see the broad highway extending between the two black walls of forest, and upon it a lonely horseman. Zygfried moved on in a semi-conscious condition, consumed by fever. Despair had lacerated his heart since Rotgier's death and filled it with crimes of revenge.
"You have passed through that region, then you must be acquainted with the localities in the neighborhood of the castles; where do you suppose Zygfried and Arnold hide themselves?" "There are no strongholds whatever in that neighborhood; all is one wilderness, through which a road was recently cut. There are neither villages nor farms.
Finally Zygfried said: "Jurand, the punishment which you have suffered you have deserved; but I have promised to Brother Rotgier, whom your son-in-law has killed, to place your right hand in his coffin." Diedrich, who had just got up from his last deed, bent again upon the prostrate form of Jurand, when he heard Zygfried's words.
Have you found a remedy?" asked Zygfried von Loeve. "Speak quickly!" exclaimed Brother Godfried. "Listen," said Hugo. "Jurand has a daughter here, his only child, whom he loves dearly." "Yes, so he has. We know her. The princess Anna Danuta loves her also." "Yes.
