"His first wife," put in Malka's husband, with the air of arbitrating between the two, "was Shmool the publican's eldest daughter." "Shmool the publican's daughter," said Malka, stirred to fresh indignation, "married Hyam Robins, the grandson of old Benjamin, who kept the cutlery shop at the corner of Little Eden Alley, there where the pickled cucumber store stands now."
Furber the Violin-Maker My cousin did not like to send Hyam to him for a violin: he did not think him worthy to have one. Furber does not want you to buy a violin unless you can appreciate it when you have it. My cousin says of him: "He is generally a little tight on a Saturday afternoon. He always speaks the truth, but on Saturday afternoons it comes pouring out more."
Malka fixed her audience with her piercing eye, and said in a tone that scarce brooked contradiction: "Hyam Robins couldn't have married Shmool's sister because Shmool's sister was already the wife of Abraham the fishmonger." "Yes, but Shmool had two sisters," said Mrs. Jacobs, audaciously asserting her position as the rival genealogist. "Nothing of the kind," replied Malka warmly.
