  Za tými, že "sedliak je božie stvorenie, ale huncút od narodenia", väčšmi prebitý ako sedem fiškálov. Ak nedáš dosť pozor, uskočíťa, hoci k tomu takú tvár oblečie, že by si myslel, že si ani prsty nevie spočítať.
  Behind those words, that "a peasant is God's creature, but a scallywag from birth," he is shrewder than seven lawyers. If you don't pay close enough attention, he'll trick you, even while putting on such a face that you would think he can't even count his own fingers.
