Yet he could not suspect the man of a glozing tongue, for of the leaders of Zionism Nehemiah spoke with, if possible, greater veneration, with an awe trembling on tears. His elongated figure grew even gaunter, his lean visage unearthlier, as he unfolded his plan for the conquest of Palestine, and Barstein's original impression of his simple sincerity was repeated and re-enforced.

"Oh, you're ill!" she said, and stepped back as though she did not know him. "Yes, I'm ill." He held to a chair and tipped it back and forth. "For goodness' sake, don't talk about it any more.
