For a while the Rabbi waited with fond confidence for was not he to hear the best-loved of his boys and he caught eagerly at a gracious expression, as if it had fallen from one of the fathers.

My best-loved wickedness and art is it, that my silence hath learned not to betray itself by silence.
One, when he joined the society, had brought with him his wife and children, but never from that hour had spoken a fond word to the former or taken his best-loved child upon his knee. Another, whose family refused to follow him, had been enabled such was his gift of holy fortitude to leave them to the mercy of the world.
