He is the smallest, and yet he has more sense than the others, he said, turning to his wife; 'he's worrying about the gospodarstwo. Gradually, as the storm abated, the roar of the river struck them afresh. Slimak quickly drew on his boots. 'Where are you going? asked his wife. 'Something's wrong outside. He went and returned breathlessly. 'I say! It's just as I thought. 'Is it the corn?
They say you will be better off as it is, because you will be nearer to the station, and that you have already made a lot of money by spoiling other people's business. She drained another glass and would have said more, but was suddenly overcome, and had to be carried out of the room by Slimak.
'What's true is true, said Grochowski; 'even Gryb ought to understand that the cow ought to be where the girl is. 'Then sell her to us, Slimak said quickly. Grochowski dropped his spoon on the table and his head on his chest. He reflected for a while, then he said in a tone of resignation: 'There's no help for it; as you are quite, decided I must sell you the cow.
'What crowds of children they have! said Slimak; 'we have not as many in the whole village. 'Thick as lice, said Maciek. Slimak could not wonder enough. Yesterday the field had been empty and quiet, to-day it was like a fair.

His attention was attracted by voices, and he saw two men in navy blue overcoats. When they caught sight of him, one asked at once: 'That is your hill, gospodarz, isn't it? Slimak looked at them in surprise. 'Why do you keep on asking me about my property?
'What have you been doing to your head? You stink of tallow miles off. You'd better comb your hair. Slimak, silently acknowledging the justice of the remark, took a thick comb from behind the looking-glass and smoothed his hair till it looked like polished glass, then he applied the soap to his neck so energetically that his fingers left large, dark streaks.
Maciek had discovered at dawn one morning that a crowd had reached the river-bank by the ravines, and Slimak, hurrying thither, found some gospodarze from the village among the men. 'What is happening? 'They are going to throw up a dam and build a bridge across the Bialka, Wisniewski replied. 'And what are you doing here? 'We have been taken on to cart sand.
