When he was offered the daughter of a rich and learned man of Brody, named Abraham, he readily accepted the alliance, because he knew that Abraham's daughter was his bride destined by heaven. The belief in the Divine ordaining of marriages affected the medieval Synagogue liturgy. This chapter was sung, not only in Hebrew, but in Arabic, in countries where the latter language was the vernacular.
This brought him within striking distance of the important railway point of Brody on the Dubno-Lemberg railway, very close to the Russo-Galician border, and only fifty miles northeast of Lemberg.
Suddenly I looked with an incredible suspicion at the old man, smoking imperturbably at my side. "'Tis indeed a change for Brody," he said, with a laugh that was half a sob. A faintness blotted out the whole strange scene the town-gates, the eager faces, the gesticulating figures, the houses, the frightened woman at my side. It was the greatest surprise of my life.
One of the heaviest battles of this period took place on September 6, 1915, lasting into the early morning hours of the 7th, along a front about twenty-five miles wide, with its center about at Radziviloff, a little town just across the border of the Lemberg-Rovno railroad, a few miles northeast of Brody. There the Russians had strongly intrenched themselves.
"You would have thought so, could you have seen Pete Brody," Lyle replied, with a low laugh, "I believe he is running yet, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jake has lost what few wits he ever possessed." "It was one of the best schemes that could have been devised," said Jack, gravely, adding, "We probably owe you more than we know."
"Tell him I took a Steve Brody." I wondered if he translated that literally. Steve took a chance, but it is hardly to be expected that a Frenchman would know of that daring gentleman's history. In this connection, I remember a little talk on caution which was given to us, later, by an English-speaking moniteur.
M. Surville was to answer categorically, giving a detailed schedule of the costs of carriage and of duty from Cracow to France; and to this, Balzac would add the price of transport from Brody to Cracow.
The blocks of wood would be fifteen inches in diameter at the base, and ten at the top. They would first be conveyed to Brody, from there by high road to Cracow, and thence they would travel to France by the railway, which would be finished in a few days.
The sister being too terrified to return with her brothers, the Baal Shem undertook to bring her to Brody himself in his own celestial chariot, which, to those not initiated into the higher mysteries, appeared like an ordinary cart. Meantime the Master had refilled his pipe. "Is that my old friend David," he cried, addressing one with a cobbler's apron; "and how is business?"
Meanwhile, Pete Brody, as he kept his solitary watch before the cabin, was surprised by the sudden return of Jake. "Have ye found 'im?" he inquired eagerly, "Is he down there with the boss?" "No, he's not there." "Then, what in hell are you back here for?" "Bud sent me," answered Jake; "he said to tell ye they've gone into the Lucky Chance, and what do ye be thinkin' o' that?"
