There were corsets and Noah's arks, salt fish and sugar almonds, Chinese Joshes and Little Samuels, accordeons and fish horns, almanacs, Joe Millers, and Bibles, toothpicks and churns, silver thimbles and wash tubs, penknives, tweezers and pickaxes, Adams and Eves in sugar, and Napoleons in brass. In short, what was there not in that shop?
And ye will take Benjamin. The pathos of his accents melted every heart. Tears rolled down many a feminine cheek. Simeon Samuels was seen to blow his nose softly. Thus successfully launched, the Rev.
He scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to Raphael, who read: "BIRTH, on the 15th inst. at 17 East Stuart Lane, Kennington, the wife of Joseph Samuels of a son." "There!" said Sampson proudly, "Who would believe the little beggar had no existence? Nobody lives in Kennington, and that East Stuart Lane is a master-stroke.
"From me, dad!" cried Sue, indignantly, but her eyes were shining in a most suspicious manner. "A man of his standing " "It doesn't matter," broke in her father, with a wave of his arm. "I'm willing to grant, for the sake of argument, that Samuels was perfectly sincere. But I still protest that there is no reason why we should conceal ourselves here.
'But not always in the shape it came to Joseph. In this congregation, where, by the blessing of the Almighty, we are free from almost every form of wrong-doing, there is yet one temptation which has power to touch us the temptation of unholy profit, the seduction of Sabbath-breaking.

"But, dear, you remember how strongly Doctor Samuels insisted on your taking a rest; how necessary he said it was?" "Oh, perfectly!" responded Rushford, drily. "I've suspected right along that Samuels took his orders from you."

The rumour did not get round all Sudminster the first Friday night, but by the Sabbath morning the synagogue hummed with it.

I am a fellow-Jew.
All this tumult astonished Thorne. "I had no idea this Samuels case interested them quite so much up there; nor did I imagine it possible they would raise such a row over that old long-horn. I haven't been up in that country as much as I should have liked, but I did not suspect they were so hostile to the Service." "They always have been," commented California John.
