"But I say that the Frenchman will not give up to the Prussian," replied Gomula, striking the table with his fist.
"The Prussian is cunning, the dog blood!" answered Repa.
"What good is it that he is cunning? The Turk will help the Frenchman, and the Turk is the strongest."
"What do ye know! The strongest is Harubanda [Garibalda]."
"You must have got out of bed shoulders first. But where did you pull out Harubanda?"
"What need had I to pull him out? Haven't people said that he sailed down the Vistula in boats with a great army? But the beer in Warsaw didn't please him, for generally it is better at home, so he went back."
"Don't lie for nothing. Every Schwab [8] is a Jew."
"But Harubanda is no Schwab."
"What is he?"
"Well what? He must be Cæsar and that's the end of it!"
