Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z Happily for them, no one gave attention to Basia's words.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z "The will of God, nothing more," said Basia, dropping her eyes.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z Here the man began to scrutinize Basia's face carefully.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z "I see smoke, but I see neither men nor horses," said Basia, with a beating heart. Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z Basia knew this well; still, a human being, astray in the wilderness, harassed by cold and hunger, turns involuntarily for aid first of all to kindred beings.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z "They will run home, mount their horses, and pursue me," thought Basia.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z This was a feeling to which Basia had not given such clear expression; but if she had not, she felt it all the more strongly in her heart.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z All this was rushing on somewhere as waves rush driven by the wind; and she, Basia, runs with them, without fear, without joy, as if she were travelling by contract. Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z Suddenly a breaking and tramp, the crash of broken twigs, and a whole herd, though invisible to Basia, rushed past in the neighborhood, and sank in the depth of the forest.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z Basia's blow had crushed the upper part of his nose, and injured his cheek-bone.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z At sight of this, consolation entered Basia's heart; she had left between her and pursuit so many steppes, mountains, ravines, and a whole night.

Pan Michael An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. 2011-09-10T02:00:24.983Z "Do you think so?" asked the little knight, with joy; and again he looked at Basia, and again thought involuntarily, "But that rogue is charming in this moonlight."
