He smiled his usual pleasant welcome at her. "Ah, Miss Pilgrim, good morning, I am glad to see you. You will sit down yes?" He was rising to give her a chair he was not in the least afraid of her when something about her arrested him, a trouble, a note of sorrow. "Mr. Baruch" she began. He knew the value of the deft interruption that breaks the thread of thought.
Half an hour later, he found what he sought in a large furniture store on the Pushkinskaia, an imitation Persian rug, manufactured at Frankfurt, and priced seventeen rubles. With a little bargaining the salesman was no match for Mr. Baruch, at that he got it for fifteen and a half.
Well, they took him to the hospital and this afternoon he hadn't got more sense than to send a message over here." Mr. Baruch nodded. "Ah, to Miss Pilgrim, yes? because of her very kind treatment." Selby caught his glasses as they fell. "Huh!" he sneered malevolently. "You'd have to be a hobo before you'd get kindness from her. Hard-luck stories is the only kind she believes. 'I'll have to go, Mr.
Even if the Armenian were to make an outcry, who would lend him an ear? Mr. Baruch put the matter behind him contentedly. The majestic woman in his home watched him impassively as he unpacked his parcel and spread the rug loosely across a couple of chairs in the salon. In actual words he said only: "This is the carpet, Adina, for your bed. Look at it well!"
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. Jeremiah xxxvi; 1-4.
Baruch did not work as if he were trying to make the job last as long as possible, idly pretending to work, but dreaming all the time, but he worked on bravely, earnestly, unceasingly, till the work was done. So let us work while it is called to-day, for the night cometh when no man can work. It was no easy work those Jerusalem builders had.
'Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch ... who wrote therein ... all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire, and there were added besides unto them many like words. JER. xxxvi. 32. This story brings us into the presence of the long death agony of the Jewish monarchy.
We think we may say, with proper humility, that, by the blessing of God, we have done Senator Henry Cabot Lodge full and signal justice. A clever woman magazine writer once asked Bernard M. Baruch for some information about the peace treaty. The question was not in his special field, the economic sections of the treaty, and he told her so.
"I've heard of 'em being worth a lot sometimes thousands of dollars!" "Sometimes," agreed Mr. Baruch. "Those you can see in museums. This one, now I would offer him twenty rubles for it, and I would give perhaps thirty if he bargained too hard. That is because I have a place for it in my house." "And he'd probably make a hundred per cent, on it at that," said Selby. "These fellows."
Baruch went neither to Barnes's shop nor to the Marshalls for nearly a month. One Sunday morning he was poring over the Moreh Nevochim, for it had proved too powerful a temptation for him, and he fell upon the theorem that without God the Universe could not continue to exist, for God is its Form. It was one of those sayings which may be nothing or much to the reader.
