I łzy po nocach , i nasłuchiwanie , czy Stenia nie kaszle , i rumieńce wstydu , gdy pytano przy wnukach : a gdzież to pan zięć ? a cóż to o panu inżynierze nie słychać ?
And tears at night, and listening to see if Stenia was coughing, and blushing with shame when people asked in front of their grandchildren: where is your son-in-law? and why haven't we heard anything about you, Mr. Engineer?
