Adding and her son; he would have liked to ask them. Mrs. March did not enjoy it so much as coming with her husband alone when they took two florin seats in the orchestra for the comedy.
But the unbreeched soothsayer only stared upon the florin with big eyes; the oracle could not be persuaded to reply; and the Countess kissed him lightly, gave him the florin, set him down upon the path, and resumed her way with swinging and elastic gait. "Which shall I break?" she wondered; and she passed her hand with delight among the careful disarrangement of her locks.
He held a florin in readiness; the rain, now falling heavily, did not encourage any loitering on the pavement. For all that, he saw out of the tail of his eye that the other man was approaching, though he had paused to examine the numbers blazoned on a lamp over the first doorway. "Good night, sir, and thank you!" said the taxi driver. The cab made off as Theydon ran up a short flight of steps.
Kalimann's "friendly" letter was followed by those of the tender and touching variety, and finally Gutel decided upon sacrificing her half florin and sending one that "would go straight to the heart."

What could be done about that? He really ought to have sent him something; if it was only a post-office order for five bob, enough to prove that he was kept in mind, enough to keep him in hope, beer, and tobacco. "But what would you have?" thought Morris; and ruefully poured into his hand a half-crown, a florin, and eightpence in small change.
Look round the house and see what we are coming to. Nina at the present moment has not got a florin in her purse. We are starving, or next to it, and yet you wonder that she should be willing to marry an honest man who has plenty of money." "But he is a Jew!" "Yes; he is a Jew. I know that." "And Nina knows it." "Of course she does.
