"Love will not turn machines, much less buy them. You must have a dowry. Her father has a big stocking; he can well afford it." Leibel's eyes lit up. There was really no reason why he should not have bread and cheese with his kisses. "Now, if you went to her father," pursued the Shadchan, "the odds are that he would not even give you his daughter to say nothing of the dowry.
And as the glory of her and the flowers and the white draperies loomed upon Leibel's vision his heart melted in worship, and he knew his citadel would crumble in ruins at her first glance, at her first touch. Was it fair fighting?
Leibel's chalk marks continued indecisive that afternoon, which shows how correctly Rose had connected them with love. Before he left that night Rose said to him, "Art thou sure thou wouldst not rather have Leah Volcovitch?" "Not for all the boots and shoes in the world," replied Leibel, vehemently. "And I," protested Rose, "would rather go without my own than without thee."
"Tell me, first, if you will give fifty to a young, healthy, hard-working, God-fearing man, whose idea it is to start as a master tailor on his own account? And you know how profitable that is!" "To a man like that," said Eliphaz, in a burst of enthusiasm, "I would give as much as twenty-seven pounds ten!" Sugarman groaned inwardly, but Leibel's heart leaped with joy.
"Yes, you will," said Sugarman, "when you learn how fine a man he is." The flush of confusion and trepidation already on Leibel's countenance became a rosy glow of modesty, for he could not help overhearing what was being said, owing to the lull of the master tailor's machine. "Tell me, then," rejoined Eliphaz.
The great Shadchan offered him a chair, but nothing else. Hospitality was associated in his mind with special occasions only, and involved lemonade and "stuffed monkeys." He was very put out almost to the point of indigestion to hear of Leibel's final determination, and plied him with reproachful inquiries.
