Stolz war die schöne Pauna, sehr stolz. Sie hatte nicht umsonst so große, dunkle Augen mit schwarzen Brauen, die eine scharfe Ecke bildeten, und eine Adlernase. Ihr Mund war eher groß, aber schön geschnitten, und wenn sie sprach oder lachte, sah man die beiden Zahnreihen leuchten. Ihre schwarzen Zöpfe lagen wie eine Krone über der Stirn, und die Leute nannten sie scherzweise Pui de Imparat (Kaiser¿s Junges), wenn sie mit ihren breiten Schultern und großen Schritten dahinging und den Kopf hielt, als trüge sie etwas. Sie war aber doch nicht zu stolz, den Kopf zu drehen, wenn Tannas vorbeiging, und ihn anzuhören, wenn er bei der Hora mit ihr sprach. Wenn man sie aber mit ihm neckte, schoß ihr das Rot in die Wangen, und eine scharfe Antwort strafte den Übermütigen.Tannas war von den übrigen Burschen sehr beneidet, besonders als man die Verlobung für ganz sicher hielt. Da wurde das Land mit Krieg überzogen, und Tannas mußte fort, mit dem Heere zur Donau hinab. Pauna verschluckte ihre Thränen vor den Leuten; ob sie aber nicht heimlich einige vergossen, wagte niemand sie zu fragen.Immer verstand sie es so einzurichten, eine der ersten zu sein, die im Dorfe Nachricht vom Heere erhielten, und wie man sich von den ersten Schlachten erzählte, mußte sie sich an das steinerne Kreuz lehnen, am Eingang des Dorfes, so schwindlig wurde es der starken Pauna. Nachts konnte sie gar keinen Schlaf mehr finden und mußte oft ihr Licht brennen lassen, um die Schreckbilder nicht zu sehen, die ihr Tannas von Wunden bedeckt sterbend oder tot zeigten.
