There's nobody but her to see to things, for we are all broken in our bones from dancin' at a weddin' last night, and comin' home at four in the mornin', and pourin' cats and dogs. If you go to our house, please, teacher, you'll see my Benjy in bed; he's given up his day's work; he must have his sleep; he earns three pounds a week as head cutter at S. Cohn's he can afford to be in bed, thank God!
When she left Wilkins's, exulting, "This is the last time I'll ever go down in one of these rickety elevators," she had, besides her fifteen dollars in salary, one dollar and seventeen cents in the savings-bank. Mamie Magen gave her the opportunity to spend the two weeks installing a modern filing-system at Herzfeld & Cohn's. So Una had a glimpse of the almost beautiful thing business can be.
'Oh, said Simon airily, 'the Government will attend to that. 'Indeed! And S. Cohn's face grew black. 'But remember you may go, but you shall never come back. 'Oh, Solomon! How can you utter such an awful omen? Simon laughed. 'Don't bother, mother. He's bound to take me back. Isn't it in the papers that he promised? S. Cohn went from black to green. Simon got his way.
"Mr Brown." "Hello?" "Do you think there would be any chance for me if I asked for work at Goble and Cohn's?" "You're joking!" cried Nelly. "I'm not at all." "But what do you want with work?"

Still one feels that Sir Cohn's decision is a necessary one.
Tobias Cohn's Ma'aseh Tobiah mentioned above, or was unconsciously imbued with the prevailing tendency of the times, it is impossible to tell. The book appeared anonymously. This, the author assures us, was due not to humbleness of spirit, but to a vow. His diligence and constant application had greatly impaired his eyes.
When the eldest, Deborah, was married, her husband received, by way of compensation, the goodwill of the Sudminster business, while S. Cohn migrated to the metropolis, in the ambition of making 'S. Cohn's trouserings' a household word. He did, indeed, achieve considerable fame in the Holloway Road. Gradually he came to live away from his business, and in the most fashionable street of Highbury.

The meal finished in uncomfortable silence, and Simon went off to don his khaki regimentals and join in the synagogue parade. Mrs. Cohn's heart was heavy as she dressed for the same spectacle.
And, suddenly laying his head on the table, he broke into sobs sobs that tore at his mother's heart, that were charged with memories of his ancient tears, of the days of paternal wrath and the rending of 'The Pirates of Pechili.
