Pan Tadeusz (Short Story‪)‬

Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855) Book Three Coquetries The Count had turned for home; yet he kept drawing rein to look back at the garden. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the mysterious white dress in the manor window. Once again some weightless object seemed to float to the ground, streak across the garden, and flash among the green cucumber leaves. So a fugitive sunbeam drops through an opening in a cloud only to glance off a flat flint in the field or a sheet of still water in the meadow.
