Hearing this Macko looked at Zych, and Zych looked at him; their faces expressed great cunning and joy. Neither of them was sure whether the abbot had really heard such a conversation, or whether he was only saying this to excite Zbyszko; but they both knew, and Macko especially, that there was no better way to incite Zbyszko to try to win Jagienka.
The abbot added deliberately: "It is true, they are fierce fellows!"
Zbyszko did not show any excitement; but he asked in a strange tone that did not sound like his voice: "To-morrow is Sunday?"
"Yes, Sunday."
"You will go to church?"
"Yes!"
"Where? to Krzesnia?"
"That is the nearest!"
"Well, all right then!"
