Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I taua wa, ka toro atu a Count Horeszko ki te Castle, i reira ka powhirihia ia e Gerwazy, te kaitiaki me te kaitiaki tawhito o te Pantler kua mate. Ka whakakitea e te Kaute ki a Gerwazy he iti noa tana hiahia ki te Castle me te hiahia ki te whakarere i te whakawa. Hei whakautu, ka korero a Gerwazy ki te Kaute mo te pakanga i waenga i te whanau o Soplica me Horeszko. I karangahia e te Pantler a Jacek Soplica, te papa o Tadeusz, ki te Castle, i te mea he tino rongonui a Jacek i waenga i nga rangatira iti o te whenua. I hiahia a Jacek ki te marena ki te tamahine a te Pantler, engari i whakakahoretia e te Pantler. I muri mai, i te wa i whakaekehia ai e nga hoia o Ruhia te Castle i te whakaekenga o Kościuszko
I tae ohorere mai a Jacek ki te waahi, ka pupuhi i te Pantler. I oati a Gerwazy ki te rapu utu mo tana rangatira, engari kua ngaro a Jacek. Na te korero i whakaongaonga ai te Count mo te pakanga me nga Soplicas ana ka huri i tana whakaaro mo te Castle, ka whakatau me whakahoki e ia mai i te Kai-whakawa.
