Once, he brought a glass for drinking vodka three times bigger than the average glass. When we asked him what he planned to do with it, he said that his doctor agreed that he could drink a glass of vodka before dinner. However, the doctor did not specify the size of the glass. Then, the uncle decided himself what the right size should be. He chosen a pediatrist as his physician, arguing that if a doctor can treat children who cannot explain their pains, he must treat an adult very well.
Adults can explain their pains much better.
The uncle had always a very good appetite. Even when he came back home after any partly, he ate a full plate of herrings, claiming that nothing can be hard on his stomach, except pears. At home, uncle studied seriously Lithuanian language, comparing it with the Sanskrit. A death of Maria Szetkiewicz was painful for the entire family. Sienkiewicz mourned her for long time.
