- — No, i pan w jego wieku latałeś za spódniczkami — odezwał się Lisiecki. — Co tu bawić się w morały.
— Nigdy nie latałem! — krzyknął Rzecki, uderzając pięścią w kantorek.
— Przynajmniej raz wygadał się, że całe życie jest niedołęgą — mruknął Lisiecki do Klejna, który uśmiechał się, podnosząc jednocześnie brwi bardzo wysoko.- ‘Come, when you were his age, you ran after skirts too,’ Lisiecki remarked. ‘Why waste time preaching?’
‘I never did!’ cried Rzecki, thumping on the counter.
‘For once, in a way, he admits he's been useless all his life,’ Lisiecki muttered to Klein, who smiled and raised his eyebrows very high at the same time.
