Slimakowa and Magda helped in the early morning and in the afternoon. On the first day, while the five were working together, and had reached the top of the hill, Magda noticed some men showing against the dark background of the wood, and drew Slimakowa's attention to them. They all stopped work and looked. 'They must be peasants, Maciek said; 'they are wearing white smocks.
The priest walked towards the stable with a lantern in one hand and a basket in the other, pushed open the door with his foot, and saw Slimakowa's body. Further away, on the litter, sat the peasant, shading his eyes from the light. 'Who is that? he asked. 'It is I, your priest. Slimak sprang to his feet, with deep astonishment on his face.
The children had long been ready, and at last they started. They had no sooner gone than loneliness began to fill Slimakowa's heart. She went outside the gate and watched them; her husband, with his hands in his pockets, was strolling along the road, Jendrek on his right and Stasiek on his left.
Suddenly the young man stretched out his hand towards Slimakowa's neck, but she raised her stick so threateningly that the scared horse started away at a gallop, and the rider was left clinging to his neck. 'Jagna! what are you doing? shouted Slimak; 'that's the squire's brother-in-law, you fool! But the shout did not reach her, and the young man did not seem at all offended.
He looks as stupid as a cowherd still, he is the squire's brother-in-law. While Slirnak was thus taking the measure of this friend of the people, the latter had reached the bridge; the noise of Slimakowa's stick had attracted his attention.
