Very few of them probably had been guilty of any worse offence than rash and angry talk over their wine. They were as yet only grumblers.
Upon this Jan declared, "if this wind blows over our heads, I will write her a letter which will make her ears tingle," and used many other rude expressions. He was one of the greatest of grumblers, and even against her.
