You must jog along with your present apology for a Parnass. 'You you Elisha ben Abuyai! And, consoled only by the aptness of his reference to the atheist of the Talmud, Barzinsky rushed off to tell the Parnass how Simeon Samuels had insulted them both. The Parnass, however, was not to be drawn yet. He must keep himself in reserve, he still insisted.
This scandal must cease. 'And who are you to give orders? shrieked Solomon Barzinsky. 'You're not speaking to a Schnorrer, mind you. My banking account is every bit as big as yours. For two pins I start an opposition Shool. 'A Sunday Shool! said the Parnass sarcastically. 'And why not? It would be better than sitting playing solo on Sundays. We are not in Palestine now.
Samuels desires me to say that he has no intention of dying in Sudminster, but merely of getting his living there. In any case, under his will, his body is to be deported to Jerusalem, where he has already acquired a burying-place. 'Next year in Jerusalem! cried Barzinsky fervently, when this was read to the next meeting. 'Order, order, said the Parnass. 'I don't believe in his Jerusalem grave.
And now you've got to come and see me, at once, at the inn kept by Moses Barzinsky." "Speak lower, Excellency," he stammered, glancing nervously around. "In God's name, go back to your inn. You are in danger, as all strangers are here; yea, and all others! That is why I warned you. But you mistake. I am not the man you think, so why should I come to you? Permit me to go on my way."
Just give it to him hot! 'Your sermon was too general, added Peleg, who had lingered, though his son had not. 'You might have meant any of us. 'But we must not shame our brother in public, urged the minister. 'It is written in the Talmud that he who does so has no share in the world to come. 'Well, you shamed us all, retorted Barzinsky.
They won't admit his dead body. 'He relies on smuggling in alive, said Barzinsky gloomily, 'as soon as he has made his pile. 'That won't be very long at this rate, added Ephraim Mendel. 'The sooner the better, said the Gabbai impatiently. 'Let him go to Jericho. There was a burst of laughter, to the Gabbai's great astonishment. 'Order, order, gentlemen, said the Parnass.
'Oh, Lord, I ought to have recognised you by that synagogue beginning. 'Me, a Schnorrer! The little man swelled skywards. 'Me, Solomon Barzinsky, whose shop stood in Sudminster twenty years before you poked your nose in 'I beg your pardon. There! you see I'm a beggar, too. And Simeon Samuels laughed mirthlessly. 'Well, you've come to beg of me. And his fingers caressed his patriarchal beard.
Solomon Barzinsky, Ephraim Mendel, and Peleg the pawnbroker were all rapt in equal piety, while the rest of the congregation was shaken with dreadful gossip about them. Their shops were open, too, it would seem. Immediately after the service the Parnass arrested Solomon Barzinsky's exit, and asked him if the rumour were true. 'Perfectly true, replied Solomon placidly.
'And you can buy in my barometer with the rest, added Peleg. 'We could call a meeting of marine-dealers, said Barzinsky, disregarding him. 'We could say to them we must sacrifice ourselves for our religion. 'Tell that to the marine-dealers! murmured Straumann. 'And that we must buy out the Sabbath-breaker at any cost. 'Buy! buy! said Straumann.
Yossof stood at the end of the room, in an attitude of humility, his gray head bowed, his dingy fur cap held in his skinny fingers; but his piercing dark eyes were fixed earnestly on my face, and, when Barzinsky was gone and the door was shut, he came forward and made his obeisance. "I know the Excellency now, although the beard has changed him," he said quietly.
