Zbyszko, seeing that he could not do otherwise, because Jendrek of Kropiwnica would not permit them to fight, called Sanderus, and told him to explain to the Lotaringer knight, that they could fight only in Ciechanow.
"Then what shall I do?" asked Zbyszko. "Wait; we are near Ciechanow." "But what will the German think?" "Your servant must explain to him that he cannot fight here; that first you must receive the prince's permission, and he, the comthur's." "Bah! suppose they will not give permission." "Then you will find each other. Enough of this talk."
The prince was also attended by two men, who were prepared to help him in any emergency: they had been chosen from among the landowners of the provinces of Warszawa and Ciechanow; they had shoulders like the trunks of oak trees. Sir de Lorche gazed at them with amazement. In the meanwhile, the princess and Danusia came out; both wore hoods made of the skins of white weasels.
De Lorche having listened, nodded to signify that he understood; then having stretched his hand toward Zbyszko, he pressed the palm three times, which according to the knightly custom, meant that they must fight, no matter when or where. Then in an apparent good understanding, they moved on toward the castle of Ciechanow, whose towers one could see reflected on the pink sky.
After stopping one night in Nasielsk, riding neither too swiftly nor too slowly, they perceived next day toward evening, the walls of the castle of Ciechanow.
The prince's people lighted their torches and fire-pots and moved on amid smoke and flames; the wind blew with such force as though it endeavored to tear the flames from the torches and carry them over the field and forest. It was a long journey. They passed the settlement near Ciechanow, then they passed Niedzborz, then they turned toward Radzanow.
As a result or this stroke the German troops had advanced some forty to fifty kilometers into hostile territory on a breadth of a hundred and twenty kilometers and had captured some 10,000 prisoners and much war material. By the 18th of July, 1915, German trains were running as far as Ciechanow.
It used to happen, that during the continual attacks and fights with neighboring German knights, a sudden longing for Danusia seized him. Then he would appear unexpectedly in Warszawa, in Ciechanow, or wherever Prince Janusz's court was situated for the time being. Every time he saw the child, his grief burst forth anew because Danusia looked like her mother.
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."
Perhaps they would desire to fight with me?" "Then you would be obliged to fight with me first, because I will not permit you to fight with them while I live." Zbyszko looked at the young nobleman in a friendly way, and said: "You understand what knightly honor is. "In Ciechanow you can do what you please.
