"I cannot return. They have given me to you; besides that, I have sworn to serve you until death."
"If they gave you to me, then you are my servant."
"Yours, sir."
"Then I command you to return."
"I have sworn; although I am a prisoner from Boleslawiec and a poor boy, still I am a wlodyczka."[87]
Zbyszko became angry:
"Go away! What; are you going to serve me against my will? Go away, before I order my servants to bend their crossbows."
But the Czech quietly untied a broadcloth mantle, lined with wolf-skins, handed it to Zbyszko and said:
"Panna Jagienka sent you this, also, sir."
"Do you wish me to break your bones?" asked Zbyszko, taking a spear from an attendant.
