Therefore he came out from behind the table, and coming close to Zbyszko, asked threateningly: "Then, you dog-brother, you mean to say that Jagienka Zychowna is not the most beautiful girl in the world?" Cztan followed him; and the people surrounded them, because they understood that it would not end in words.
Then, Wilk wishing to assuage the wrath which raged in his breast, seized one of these stones, and began to shake it; Cztan seeing him do this, seized it also, and both began to roll it toward the church gate. The people looked at them with amazement, thinking that they had made some vow, and that in this way they wished to contribute to the building of the tower.
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.
Is it as easy for you to go to Flock as to handle the sickle?" "How can I and Sieciechowa return by ourselves? If I cannot continue my journey with you, it would have been preferable to have remained at home. Do you not think that Wilk and Cztan will be more obstinate in their intrigues against me?" "Wilk will protect you against Cztan." "I fear Wilk's protection as much as Cztan's open violence.
"Well, I paid for a mass for my uncle's health, that's all." The abbot moved on the chest impatiently. "Ha!" thought he, "he did not meet Cztan and Wilk; perhaps they were not there, and perhaps he did not look for them. I was mistaken." But he was angry because he was mistaken, and because his plans had not been realized; therefore immediately his face grew red and he began to breathe loudly.
If it were not so, my beloved father would still be alive. There are already Germans there and the times are stormy; they are mischievous, so that if any one of them wishes to conceal himself, he does. It would be easy for me to avoid Cztan and Wilk, but it concerns my little brother.
I would chase them back home and even attack them in Rogow or Brzozowa. Father knew very well that he could go to the war and leave me home alone." Speaking thus, she frowned, and shook the crossbow threateningly, so that Zbyszko began to laugh, and said: "You ought to have been a knight and not a girl." She becoming calmer, answered: "Cztan guarded me from Wilk and Wilk from Cztan.
His sad thoughts were interrupted by Jagienka who said: "They are soon cured after Zbyszko's beating; but even if they come here every day, it will not benefit them!" Macko looked and saw that the girl's face was red with anger, and that her blue eyes sparkled with indignation, although she knew very well that Cztan and Wilk had taken her part in the inn, and had been beaten on her account.
But observe this, so long as Zbyszko does not find her, or as you believe, he will never find her, then, then ..." "What then?" asked Macko, seeing that the girl was getting more and more confused and stammering. "Then I do not wish to be Madame Cztan, nor Madame Wilk, nor madame anybody." Macko breathed freely. "I thought that you had already forgiven him."
"Well!" replied Macko, "especially as she is an orphan, and Cztan of Rogow and Wilk of Brzozowa continually press their court to her." At that the Bohemian straightened himself up. "Is the young lady an orphan?... The knight Zych?..." "Then you do not know." "For the love of God! What has happened?" "Well you are right.
