I lost my way coming back

from town.

Satan brought me to this spot.

The Father, the Son

and the Holy Spirit!

I stood here in front

of the inn...

It was freezing cold, like tonight.

Quiet!

Who is it?

- Did you see?

- Yes, sir!

Heaven help us!

Be gone evil spirit!

Quiet!

It's only a trick of the mist.

There was no one here.

Nobody, your honor?

And the horses?

Quiet, quiet! Cool down!

What's going on here?

Have you gone deaf?

What happened?

I didn't expect you from

that direction!

You gave me a fright.

Where's the count?

I'm here.

We lost our way.

Something startled the horses.

Ours were startled too,

but what was it?

Just imagine a wolf

crossed our path.

- A wolf...

- That's right!

The ugly brute!

The horses nearly threw us!

Let's go to the inn.

I can hardly stay in the saddle.

- Someone's outside.

- I know, the groom told us.

What does it matter

if anyone's there or not?

I'll go first and see.

Get in and let's be off.

Horrible!

Put down the lantern,

I can't bear to look.

He's cold. The hussars

must have been here.

Perhaps they questioned

him about me.

A pity. He was a decent Jew.

Mr Wosinski...

Please, give this letter

to her ladyship in person.

- Sir, let me come with you.

- No,

I'm sorry my friend, but I can't.

Take my horse.

I won't confide this letter

to anyone else.

We're going abroad.

Who'll look after my household?

Take good care of it.

My honor is in your hands.

I give you my word.

And I thank you.

God be with you.

Good bye, Onufry...

Look after your master.

What will I do in foreign parts?

They'll kill me!

Rely on the Lord.

Time to go.

God be with you, Wosinski.

Hot water, quickly!

Plenty of it.

Were the hussars here?

They were.

- Well?

- They asked about his lordship.

- Did they search the place?

- What?

- Did they look through the rooms?

- No.

They said there's been

a plot against the emperor.

Ask Dr Goldberg to come

and see me.

I must be sick.

Was it the night air?

Can the master take food?

Not at present.

Give him a teaspoonful

every two hours.

Wake him up if he's asleep.

Why has the master been

taken bad?

It's the damp.

He has marsh fever.

Will he be sick for long?

Long enough. Why do you ask?

Her ladyship said

she wanted to see him.

She'll have to wait.

Say Mr Wosinski won't be

up for some time.

And that he needs quiet.

Who's that?

For God's sake, who's there?

Leave the candlestick

and go to bed.

Wait.

Come closer.

- Where's the dog?

- She wanted to go out, so I let her.

Why aren't you in bed yet?

The Frenchwoman told me to

polish the silver.

- Was Mlle Ruttier here?

- No, she wasn't.

I locked the door downstairs.
