6 potatoes, rooted up our cabbages, took off the hay, and carried away the unground grain in their carts. And as soon as this had happened we ourselves had to be on the move!—complain the peasants.

See, here come the peasants of Lublin and Lomzha provinces. They wear long white sheepskin coats with the wool showing at the cuffs of their sleeves, with broad shawl-like collars of black sheepskin, and with a beautiful ornamentation of coloured threads. They wear four-cornered caps with pompons on the corners.

Long moustaches, and shaven chins, overgrown and scrubby.

A quiet, courteous, gentle folk. Their women are arrayed in specially sumptuous fur coats.

The sleeves, the pockets, and the waists are all adorned with embroidery in coloured thread.
