A oboje z dobrych gazdowskich rodów przecież byli. Na namówinach na stole stanęła ćwiartka.- Neither grandma Ludwina's fathers nor the young one with whom she stood in front of the altar could afford such a parade. And they both came from good farmhouse families. A quarter stood at the betrothal on the table.
