The Almighty knows they are pure. 'Bravo! Well spoken! There was a burst of applause. Several marine-dealers shot out their hands and grasped Barzinsky's in admiration. 'Do not await me, gentlemen, he said importantly. 'Go in peace. 'Good afternoon, Mr. Samuels, said Solomon Barzinsky. 'Good afternoon, sir. What can I do for you? 'You you don't know me? I am a fellow-Jew.
'Yes, but unfortunately Simeon Samuels did have one, Mrs. Mendel confessed; 'and I couldn't get out of buying it. There was a general laugh. 'Cut-throat competition, I call it, snarled Solomon Barzinsky, recovering from his merriment. 'But you don't sell clocks, said the Parnass. 'That's just it; he gets hold of our customers on pretence of selling them something else.
'I prefer going to a specialist, rejoined the Parnass. Barzinsky threw down his cards. 'You can go to the devil! he cried. 'For shame, Solomon! said his wife. 'Don't disturb the game. 'To Gehenna with the game! The Parnass blew his nose elaborately. 'It stands in the Talmud: "For vain swearing noxious beasts came into the world." And if
'He does not even refuse to take money, Solomon Barzinsky exclaimed to Peleg the pawnbroker, as they passed the blasphemous window on their way from the Friday-evening service. 'Why, what would be the good of keeping open if you didn't take money? naïvely inquired Peleg. 'Don't you know it's forbidden to touch money on the Sabbath? 'Of course, I know that. But if you open your shop !
'But Joseph refused. Solomon Barzinsky coughed. Peleg the pawnbroker blew his nose like a protesting trumpet. The congregation's eyes returned from the balcony and converged upon the Parnass. He was taking snuff as usual. 'My brethren, began the preacher impressively, 'temptation comes to us all A sniff of indignant repudiation proceeded from many nostrils. A blush overspread many cheeks.
'Not with me! Peleg made a grimace. 'All very well for your line, but in mine I should have to deposit a sum of money with them. I don't suppose they'd bring their pledges on Friday night, and wait till Saturday night for the money. Besides, how could one remember? One would have to profane the Sabbath by writing! 'Write! Heaven forbid! ejaculated Solomon Barzinsky.
Well, it's very good of you all, especially as I'm such a recent addition. But I really feel a diffidence. You see, my views of the Sabbath clash with those of the congregation. 'They do! cried Barzinsky, leaping at his opportunity. 'Yes, I am for a much stricter observance than appears general here.
And he will plead he meant for a day or two. 'And he agreed to leave the town, wailed Peleg, 'but he meant to buy goods. 'Well, we can have the law of him, said Mendel. 'We paid him compensation for disturbance. 'And can't he claim he was disturbed? shrieked Barzinsky. 'His whole stock turned upside down! 'Let him claim! said Mendel.
'The congregation through its Council gave the Committee full power to deal with the matter, said Barzinsky with dignity. 'But then the other marine-dealers will open as well as the Committee! 'I trust not, replied Barzinsky fervently. 'Two of us are enough to cut down his takings. 'But the whole lot of you would be still more efficacious.
'My dear Mendel, observed the wizened senior, flicking away the spilth with a blue handkerchief, 'Simeon Samuels has already paid his annual subscription and you haven't! 'My money is good, Mendel replied, reddening. 'No wonder he can pay so quickly! said Solomon Barzinsky, shuffling the cards savagely. 'How he makes his money is not the question, said the Parnass weightily.
