"Begone, Jew, don't stick your fingers into the door; this is not

your business! Prussian, because you, sir, conduct your trading

with the Judge's pair of miserable boats, are you shouting for

him? Have you forgotten, my boy, that your respected father used

to make the trip to Prussia with twenty Horeszko boats? Thence he

and his family grew rich; yes, and every one of you that are

living here in Dobrzyn. For you old men remember, and you young

men have heard, that the Pantler was the father and benefactor of

you all. Whom did he send as manager to his Pinsk estates? A

Dobrzynski. Who were his accountants? Dobrzynskis. He chose none

for majordomos and none for butlers except Dobrzynskis; his house

was full of Dobrzynskis. He pressed your cases before the courts,

he gained pensions for you from the king; he put your children by

droves in the Piarist136 schools, and paid for their clothes,

board, and lodging; when they grew up he even got places for

them, also at his own expense.
