Therefore having heard Zbyszko's question, he frowned, lifted his eyes as if he were trying to recollect, and answered:
"Panna Danuta Jurandowna? Where is she from?"
"Jurandowna Danuta of Spychow."
"I saw all of them, but I cannot remember their names."
"She is very young; she plays the lute, and amuses the princess with her singing."
"Aha—young—plays the lute—there were some young ones married also. Is she dark like an agate?"
Zbyszko breathed more freely.
"No, that was not she! Danusia is as white as snow, but has pink cheeks."
To this Sanderus replied:
"One of them, dark as an agate, remained with the princess; the others were almost all married."
