'Who is zis person? she asked the doorkeeper in her charming French-English. He reverted to English. 'I am Elkan, your own Elkan! Ah, the jostle of sweet and bitter memories. So near, so near again! The same warm seductive witch. He strove to take her daintily-gloved hand. She shrank back shudderingly and thrust open the door that led to the dressing-rooms beside the stage.
His face was turned towards the preacher, wearing its wonted synagogue expression of reverential dignity. 'Oh, my brethren, that it could always be said of us: "And Joseph refused"! A genial warmth came back to every breast. Ah, now the cosmos was righting itself; Heaven was speaking through the mouth of its minister. The Rev. Elkan Gabriel expanded under this warmth which radiated back to him.
Come thou and be our Chief Rabbi? Do they say this? No! They greet me with scorn, coldness, slander. As for the Rev. Elkan Benjamin, who makes such a fuss of himself because he sends a wealthy congregation to sleep with his sermons, I'll expose him as sure as there's a Guardian of Israel. I'll let the world know about his four mistresses." "Nonsense!
I expect to make dousands of pounds by it for dey know how to honor scholars and poets abroad. Dere dey haf not stupid-head stockbrokers like Gideon, M.P., ministers like the Reverend Elkan Benjamin who keep four mistresses, and Rabbis like Reb Shemuel vid long white beards outside and emptiness vidin who sell deir daughters." "I don't want to look so far ahead," said Simon Wolf.
Elkan Gabriel proceeded to draw a tender picture of the love between Israel and his Benjamin, Sabbath the one consolation of his exile, and he skilfully worked in the subsequent verse: 'If mischief befall him by the way on which ye go, then shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to the grave. Yes, it would be the destruction of Israel, he urged, if the Sabbath decayed.
Elkan Benjamin, with his four mistresses, they will all be there, and Gideon, the Man-of-the-Earth, M.P., ah, it will be terrible. If I could only get them to see it performed, they should have free passes." "No, shoot them first; it would be more merciful. But where is this comedy to be played?" asked Hamburg curiously.
For even to Elkan Mandle, with his Ghetto purview, Yvonne Rupert's fame, both as a 'Parisian' star and the queen of American advertisers, had penetrated.
Alex don't trouble himself at all. He told me so himself. But that's the way it goes, Mawruss. Mosha Kronberg, Hillel Kronberg, and Elkan Kronberg was three brothers which you don't see nowadays at all more like friends than brothers, Mawruss. Hillel died ten years ago and I thought it would broke Mosha's heart.
He looked after Hillel's widow and Hillel's boy, Alex, because Mosha never married, Mawruss. He was a born uncle. Then, when Elkan died a year later, I never seen a feller so broke up like Mosha in all my life.
'I want Yvonne Rupert! shrieked Elkan struggling. 'She is mine mine! She loved me once! A vaster wave of laughter swept back to him as he was hauled off, to be handed over to a policeman on a charge of brawling and assaulting the doorkeeper. As he lay in his cell he chewed the cud of revenge. Yes, let them take him before the magistrate; it was not he that was afraid of justice.
