An Armenian jeweler of wealth and influence was wrought up to a state of great alarm in reference to the course of these two young men, by the secret insinuations of a Romish priest. Having persuaded Peshtimaljian to summon the delinquents, he severely charged them with violating their obligations to the Church, and dishonoring God.
As soon as he heard it, the jeweler once more sprang from behind the showcase, and leaped for the door crying: "There's the thief! He's trying to cut a hole through my show window and reach in and get something! It's an old trick. I'll get the police!
The succeeding years brought letters and quaint, useless presents to both the occupants of the lonely house, Navajo blankets and Indian jeweler and basket-work, and Austen little knew how carefully these were packed away and surreptitiously gazed at from time to time.
Nevertheless she rose up to do what she knew had to be done, and what there was nobody to do but herself. "Don't mind it, Johanna; for indeed I do not. I shall go to a first rate, respectable jeweler, and he will not cheat me; and then I shall find my way to the sponging-house isn't that what they call it? I dare say many a poor woman has been there before me.
But Padre Florentine no longer recalled the indifferent reception that two months before the jeweler had accorded to him when he had tried to interest him in favor of Isagani, then a prisoner on account of his imprudent chivalry; he forgot the activity Simoun had displayed in urging Paulita's marriage, which had plunged Isagani into the fearful misanthropy that was worrying his uncle.
"I am convinced now of your truthfulness," he said majestically, when the Court Jeweler had examined the cow's horns to see if they were true gold, and not merely gilded, and he had seen with his own eyes the two baskets full of coins and jewels. "And, if you would like to be Princess, you can be, and also marry the Prince of Egypt." But Drusilla threw her arms around her father's neck.
He hated my father with all the strength that was left him: he ascribed his sufferings to my father's curses, and called him sometimes "the butcher," and sometimes the "jeweler." "Choo, choo, don't you dare to go to the butcher, Wassilievna:" by this name he called his daughter. Every day he grew more exacting: his needs increased; and how should his needs be satisfied? where get the money?
Sinang clucked several times and her mother did not pinch her, perhaps because she too was overcome, or perhaps because she reflected that a jeweler like Simoun was not going to try to gain five pesos more or less as a result of an exclamation more or less indiscreet. All gazed at the gems, but no one showed any desire to handle them, they were so awe-inspiring. Curiosity was blunted by wonder.
"The door was broken from the outside!" he said, after a pause. "Was it?" "Of course it was." "Then you don't think the men could have done it?" At this moment a boy of fifteen made his way from the street to the rear entrance. It was Arthur Waters, the son of a jeweler. "Perhaps I can tell you something about it," he said.
The jewelers and goldsmiths examined the three-and-twenty windows with great attention, and after they had consulted together, to know what each could furnish, they returned, and presented themselves before the sultan, whose principal jeweler, undertaking to speak for the rest, said, "Sire, we are all willing to exert our utmost care and industry to obey you; but among us all we cannot furnish jewels enough for so great a work."
