"Wait," said Zygfried, and leaning against the wall, he rested, for he felt that something was the matter with him; he was short of breath, as though his breast was too much tightened under the straight coat of mail.
"Herr von Bergow must be released from prison," answered Zygfried von Loeve. There was as a moment of silence; then the prince said: "God grant me patience!" Zygfried continued sharply, his words cutting like a sword: "The wrong which was done to us in the persons of our guests, is only one more occasion for complaint.
"There is one coffin left of those which were made for those Jurand killed; it wants only to be covered with cloth, which I shall order to be done." "And cover him with a cloak," said Zygfried, whilst covering the face of Rotgier, "not with one like this but with one of the Order." After a while he added: "Do not close the lid." The people approached the sleigh.
"And then whoever wishes may judge us; the Pope, or the Roman Emperor!" "Yes!" Then followed a moment of silence, after which Brother Rotgier questioned: "What shall we do then with Jurand's daughter?" "Let us consult." "Give her to me." And Zygfried looked at him and replied: "No I Listen, young brother! When the Order is in question, do not trust a man, woman nor even your own self.
On the ground on the straw lay the powerless man in chains, but he looked like a piece of flint shaped in human form. Zygfried commanded Diedrich to throw the light directly upon Jurand's face, then he gazed at it for a while in silence. Then he turned to Diedrich and said: "Observe, he has only one eye destroy it."
"I shall not object as to the girl," repeated Zygfried; "but this wolf will yet make the sheep of the Order weep more than once." "And our word?" queried Danveld, laughingly. "You spoke differently...." Danveld shrugged his shoulders. "Did you not have enough pleasure?" he inquired. "Do you wish more?"
In one of them Zygfried recognized the bulldog which was so much attached to Diedrich that it was said in the castle that it served him as a pillow at night. The dog greeted the count, it barked low once or twice; and then returned toward the gate acting as though it had divined his thoughts.
Zbyszko also regretted her escaping punishment at Spychow; otherwise he received the news quietly. He did not oppose the departure of the Bohemian with Zygfried, because he was indifferent to anything which did not directly concern Danusia. He began to talk about her at once. "I shall take her in front of me on horseback to-morrow, then we shall proceed." "How is it there?
"To Jurand!" said Zygfried. And in a moment the bars creaked and they entered, but there was perfect darkness in the cell. But Zygfried, who could not see well in the dim light from the lantern, ordered the torch to be lighted, and in a moment he was enabled by its bright light to see Jurand lying on the straw.
Amen!" "Amen! Amen!" again repeated the novices. "And say also," added Zygfried, "that although Danveld wished to subdue the foe of the Order, yet nobody here raised the first weapon against Jurand." "I shall say only what my eyes saw," replied von Bergow. "Be in the chapel before midnight; we shall also go there to pray for the souls of the dead," answered Zygfried.
