"Brother gentlemen! O! O! By God's wounds, what means this?

Warden, are you mad? Was it this we were discussing? Because a

man had a crazy, outlaw brother, shall we punish him on his

brother's account? That is a Christian way of doing things! The

Count is behind all this. As for the Judge's being hard on the

gentry, that is not true! In Heaven's name! Why, it is you who

summon him to court, but he always seeks a peaceful settlement

with you; he yields his rights and even pays the costs. He has a

lawsuit with the Count, but what of that? Both are rich; let

magnate fight magnate: what do we people care? The Judge a

tyrant! He was the first to forbid that the peasants should bow

low before him, saying that that was a sin. Often a company of

peasants-I have seen this myself-sit at table with him; he has

paid the taxes for the village, and it is quite different at

Kleck, though there, Pan Buchmann, you run things in German

fashion. The Judge a traitor!
