Then only did Ephraim grasp his father's meaning. "Don't worry yourself, father..." he said lovingly. "Would you like to support me, perhaps!" Ascher shouted, with cutting disdain. Ephraim's heart almost ceased to beat. Then movements were heard in the adjoining room. "Have you any one with you?" cried Ascher springing up.
I might have known it. Mrs. Ascher would be sure to judge cities, as she judges men, by their achievement in that particular line. I was bound to admit that the reputation of Belfast falls some way short of that of Athens as a centre of literature and art. "Or thought," said Ascher, "or criticism.
Ascher has certainly far more determination and force of character than I have; but he does not seem able to break himself of the habit of making money. His wife says that he hates doing it and wants to stop. But he goes on doing it. He has formed a habit of making money, and habit is almost unconquerable.
I was a little afraid of Stutz, who seemed to me a severe man, very little tolerant of human folly. Still I would have faced Stutz without shrinking, especially in a good cause. What I really disliked was the idea of suggesting a business policy to Ascher. The man was immeasurably my superior in natural ability and in experience.
Even now, though I have fought in their army without incurring the reproach of cowardice, I cannot get out of the habit of looking at Englishmen from a distance. This convinces me that I am not one of them. I am thus Gorman is quite right about this a man of no country. But I understand Ascher as well as Gorman does; though I take a different view of Ascher's ultimate decision.
The objection seemed reasonable, but it was met in turn by the point that Blaustein and Ascher had been bled white, as Bismarck's phrase went, before they were released, whereas the five Christians had been liberated with relatively moderate fines. Upon the whole, a certain odour of the Judenhetze clung thereafter about the "corner" in Rubber Consols. On an afternoon of the following week, Mr.
He saw in the inflow of capital the way of triumph for his Gospel, the means of breaking up old careless, lazy creeds, the infusion of energy and love of freedom. Ascher, so I conceived the situation, was to stretch his threads from Calvary to the grapefruit trees of Cartagena. At Bahia I was introduced to a Brazilian statesman. I met him first at the house of one of Ascher's banker friends.
That was rather a good idea of yours. May be something in it. "I didn't know I had an idea," I said. "Are you sure you're not mixing me up with Mrs. Ascher? She has lots." "Not at all," said Gorman. "It was you who suggested organising the National Volunteers."
A few moments later he was sound asleep. It was the dead of night. All round reigned stillness and peace, the peace of night! What a gentle sound those words convey, a sound akin only to the word HOME! Fraught, like it, with sweetest balm, a fragrant flower from long-lost paradise. Thou art at rest, Ascher, and in safe shelter; the breathing of thy children is so restful, so tranquil...
With a really impressive gesture she dragged the rings from the fingers, first of one hand, then of the other, and flung them on the ground at Gorman's feet. Even when working in her studio Mrs. Ascher wears a great many rings. "Buy. Buy," she said. She unclasped the necklace which she wore and flung it down beside the rings.
