Shall I turn my heart inside out to show you how hard it is to live without you? But you can't understand. No, Levinsky. I have no right to be happy. Lucy shall be happy. She certainly sha'n't marry without love. Her happiness will be mine, too. That's the only kind I am entitled to. She shall go to college. She shall be educated. She shall marry the loved one of her heart.

But then he had said that one must know "how to go about it." Perhaps I had been too hasty. Late in the afternoon of that day Mrs. Levinsky came to see me. Pretending to be passing along on some errand, she paused in front of my cart, accosting me pleasantly "I'll bet you are angry with me," she said, smiling broadly "I am not angry at all," I answered, with feigned moroseness.

"This dress I've got on it's the only one I have that's fit to wear I bought from O'Dowd & Levinsky on the instalment plan. "Seventy-five dollars is the price, and it was made to measure. I paid $10 down, and they're to collect $1 a week till it's paid for. That'll be about all I have to say, Mr.

How are you going to catch me with a net or a trap?" Auntie Yetta interrupted us. "I'm off," she said, rising to go. "I can safely leave you in their hands, Mr. Levinsky. They'll take care of you," she said, with a wink, as she departed "You haven't answered my question," I said to Miss Lazar "What was it?" "She has a poor memory, don't you know," laughed a girl in a yellow shirt-waist.

I could have murdered her I BOUGHT my goods in several places and made the acquaintance of many peddlers.

This lasted some minutes Then she courtesied, shook her skirts, and slipped back into her seat "She is only six and she is already more educated than her father," Nodelman said. "And Sidney he's studyin' French at high school. Sidney, talk some French to Mr. Levinsky. He'll understand you. Come on, show Mr. Levinsky you ain't going to be as ignorant as your pa."

Why not apply to some money-lender? Why not make a vigorous appeal to Nodelman?
