Do Bohatyrowiczów

Not only Justyna, but also Benedykt’s son Witold, feels drawn to the Bohatyrowicz family. The family conflict deepens, especially since Mr. Korczyński and his wife disagree about Justyna’s potential marriage to Różyc. Justyna and Witold attend the wedding of one of the Bohatyrowicz girls. That night, Jan and Justyna confess their love, and Benedykt finally reconnects with his son. The next day, the Kirłos arrive at Korczyn with a marriage proposal on behalf of Różyc. Justyna rejects it, announcing she is already engaged to Jan. Mrs. Emilia has a hysterical fit, old Mr. Orzelski is devastated—but nothing can shake Justyna’s happiness.
