Lady Etynge is wondering if she can find a suitable young companion to live in the house with her. She must be a young lady and perfectly educated and with brightness and charm. Not a person like myself, but one who can be treated as an equal and a friend almost a playmate." "It would be an agreeable position," commented Robin, thoughtfully. "Extremely so," answered Fraulein Hirsch.
All through these hours the thought of Andor having committed such an abominable crime never once entered her mind, but nevertheless when her mother told the news about Leopold Hirsch, and that the police officers had already left the village, she was conscious of an overwhelming sense of relief.
She was immensely flattered by the young Count's attentions and over-ready to accept his presents in exchange for kisses and whisperings behind closed doors, but there was no real harm in her so at least Leopold Hirsch kept repeating to himself time and again, whenever jealousy gnawed at his heart more roughly than he could endure.
"If she should go, her mother will not feel any anxiety about her," returned Fraulein Hirsch. "If, then, some young man she meets in the street makes love to her and they run away together, she will not be pursued by her relatives." Fraulein Hirsch's flat mouth looked rather malicious.
We have seen how Mordecai Winenki perished, a victim of the infuriated mob. His wife, Leah, died a short time afterward, broken-hearted at the separation from her life-long companion. Hirsch Bensef and his wife declared they were too old to brave the rigors of a journey to America, and, though broken in spirit as well as in fortune, they preferred to remain in Kief.
Berlin, December 19th, 1750; Voltaire writes, Hirsch signs; and the Italics are believed to be words foisted in by M. de Voltaire, weeks after, while the Hirsch pleadings were getting stringent! Read, a very sad memorial of M. de Voltaire, Berlin, 19th December, 1750." Was there ever seen such a Paper; one end of it contradicting the other?
The late Senor Hirsch, erect and shadowy against the stars, seemed to be waiting attentive, in impartial silence. But Dr. Monygham had no mind to quarrel with Nostromo.
No one had imagined the supply was so ample, so all-sufficient to meet the demand. Promptly the Pit responded. Wheat began to pour in heavily. Hirsch, Kelly, Grossmann, Leaycraft, the stolid Winston, and the excitable Rusbridge were hard at it. The price began to give. Suddenly it broke sharply. The hand on the great dial dropped to ninety-three and seven-eighths. Landry was beside himself.
A sick child was tossing restlessly in an improvised cradle, which in order to save room was suspended from a hook in the smoke-begrimed ceiling. Several children were squalling in the lane before the house. "Sholem alechem," said the woman, as she saw the stranger stoop and enter the door-way, and wiping her hands upon her greasy gown, she offered Hirsch a chair.
Fraulein Hirsch, standing near her, looked furtively at all the benches round the circle, giving no incautiously interested glance to any one of them in particular. Presently, however, she said: "I think that is Lady Etynge sitting on the third bench from here. I said to you that I had heard she was in London. I wonder if her daughter is still in the Convent at Tours?"
