How canst thou go glaziering? Thou liest often groaning all the night. How shalt thou carry the heavy crate on thy shoulders?" "God will give me strength to do what is right." The tears were plain enough in his voice now and would not be denied. His words forced themselves out in a husky wheeze. Beenah threw her arms round his neck. "No! No!" she cried hysterically. "Thou shalt not go!
Beenah and I have sold a few little trinkets which our children gave us, and we have reckoned that with six pounds more we shall be able to take steerage passages and just exist till I get work." "But six pounds is a very great sum without sureties," said Belcovitch, rubbing his time-worn workaday high hat in his agitation.
"I shall send thee a little money; then as soon as I can see my way dear I shall send for thee and thou shalt come out to me and we will live happily together and our children shall live happily here." But Beenah burst into fresh tears. "Woe! Woe!" she sobbed. "How wilt thou, an old man, face the sea and the strange faces all alone? See how sorely thou art racked with rheumatism.
"I dare say we shall find another sovereign's-worth to sell." Mendel clinched the borrowing by standing the lender a glass of rum, and Bear felt secure against the graver shocks of doom. If the worst come to the worst now, he had still had something for his money. And so Mendel and Beenah sailed away over the Atlantic.
When he had scanned a few lines he uttered an exclamation of surprise and dropped the letter. "What's the matter, father?" said Daniel, while Miriam tilted her snub nose curiously. "Praised be God!" was all the old man could say. "Well, what is it? Speak!" said Beenah, with unusual animation, while a flush of excitement lit up Miriam's face and made it beautiful.
In the history of Jacob’s service for his wives, we have clear proof of the maternal custom of beenah marriage. As a suitor Jacob had to buy his position as husband and to serve Laban for seven years before he was permitted to marry Leah, and seven years for Rachel, while six further years of service were claimed before he was allowed the possession of his cattle.
Old Hyams had thought it boundless opulence and was now sorry he had not done his brother a better turn. "It will be enough for us all to live upon, he and Beenah and me. You see his wife died and he has no children." "You don't really mean to go?" gasped Daniel, unable to grasp the situation suddenly sprung upon him. "How will you get the money to travel with?"
Daniel stood on the clamorous hustling wharf, watching the ship move slowly from her moorings towards the open river, and neither he nor any one in the world but the happy pair knew that Mendel and Beenah were on their honeymoon. Mrs. Hyams died two years after her honeymoon, and old Hyams laid a lover's kiss upon her sealed eyelids.
His withered lips sought hers and love flooded their souls at last. When the first delicious instants were over, Mendel drew a chair to the table and wrote a letter in Hebrew script and posted it and Beenah picked up Miriam's jacket.
Hyams fried a piece of Wurst for Miriam's supper and put it into the oven to keep hot, then she sat down opposite Mendel to stitch on a strip of fur, which had got unripped on one of Miriam's jackets. The fire burnt briskly, little flames leaped up with a crackling sound, the clock ticked quietly. Beenah threaded her needle at the first attempt.
