In this instance, however, Lotta Luxa did answer the bell, and not the stout Bohemian girl who acted in the household of Madame Zamenoy as assistant and fag to Lotta. And Lotta found Nina at the door, enveloped in her cloak. "Lotta," she said, "will you kindly give this to my cousin Ziska?"
"I don't know why she should be angry, Lotta. I did not say I would come." Lotta Luxa was a sharp little woman, over forty years of age, with quick green eyes and thin red-tipped nose, looking as though Paris might have been the town of her birth rather than Prague.
Was it not to be expected that the black-flowing river over which she understood him to preside would become her enemy and would swallow her up as Lotta Luxa had predicted?
"When once we stray from the Holy Church, there is no knowing what terrible evils may come upon us," said Madame Zamenoy. "No indeed, ma'am," said Lotta Luxa. "But I have done all in my power." "That you have, ma'am." "I feel quite sure, Lotta, that the Jew will never marry her. Why should a man like that, who loves money better than his soul, marry a girl who has not a kreutzer to bless herself?"
Balatka feared all the Zamenoys, down to Lotta Luxa; but he feared Ziska less than he feared any other of the household. "Have you heard of Anton Trendellsohn?" "What of Anton Trendellsohn? I have been hearing of Anton Trendellsohn for the last thirty years. I have known him since he was born." "Do you wish to have him for a son-in-law?" "For a son-in-law?"
All this was not comfortable for Madame Zamenoy; and she fretted and fumed till her husband had no peace in his house, and Ziska almost wished that he might hear no more of the Jew and his betrothal. She could not even commence her system of persecution, as Nina did not go near her, and had already told Lotta Luxa that she must decline to discuss the question of her marriage any further.
The result of her communication to her father and her relatives in the Windberg-gasse had been by no means so terrible as she had anticipated. The heavens and the earth had not as yet shown any symptoms of coming together. Her aunt, indeed, had been very angry; and Lotta Luxa and Souchey had told her that such a marriage would not be allowed.
