"What is this, my friends of the Dobrzynski family? What does all

this mean? How about us, shall we be deprived of our rights? When

we were invited from our hamlet-and the Warden, My-boy Rembajlo

invited us-we were told that great things were to be done, that

the question did not affect the Dobrzynskis alone, but the whole

district, the entire gentry; Robak mumbled the same thing, though

he never finished his talk and always stammered and expressed

himself obscurely. Well, finally we have gathered, and have

called in our neighbours by messengers. You Dobrzynskis are not

the only men here; from various other hamlets there are about two

hundred of us here; so let us all consult together. If we need a

marshal, let us all vote, with an equal voice for each; long live

equality!"
