"One of my seminarists heard that he intends to attack us in front of the inn after the service is over."
"He will not do that without a challenge, and especially after holy mass."
"May God, bring him to reason. I do not seek a quarrel with anybody and I bear my wrongs patiently."
Here he looked at the shpilmen, and said:
"Do not draw your swords, and remember that you are spiritual servants; but if they attack us first, then strike them!"
Zbyszko, while riding beside Jagienka, said to her:
"I am sure that in Krzesnia we will meet young Wilk and Cztan. Show me them from afar, so that I may know them."
"Very well, Zbyszku," answered Jagienka.
"Do they not meet you before the service and after the service? What do they do then?"
"They serve me."
