They returned to the editorial den, where they found Pinchas raging, a telegram in his hand. "Ah, the Man-of-the-Earth!" he cried. "All my beautiful peroration he spoils." He crumpled up the telegram and threw it pettishly at little Sampson, then greeted Raphael with effusive joy and hilarity. Little Sampson read the telegram. It ran as follows: "Last sentence of Gideon leader.
I have told you over and over again you confound the air of the Passover Yigdal with the New Year ditto. "Oh no," interrupted Belcovitch. "All the Chazanim I've ever heard do it 'Ei, Ei, Ei." "You are not entitled to speak on this subject, Belcovitch," said the Shalotten Shammos warmly. "You are a Man-of-the-Earth. I have heard every great Chazan in Europe."
"Yes," said Sugarman the Shadchan, quickly; "but if his rod had not been made of sapphire he would have split that instead of the rock." "Was it made of sapphire?" asked Meckisch, who was rather a Man-of-the-Earth. "Of course it was and a very fine thing, too," answered Sugarman. "Do you think so?" inquired Peleg Shmendrik eagerly. "The sapphire is a magic stone," answered Sugarman.
Pity he's such a Man-of-the-Earth, though. Yes, and that's good the communication from the Rev. Joseph Strelitski. I think he's a bit of an Epikouros but it looks as if the whole of the Kensington Synagogue was with us. I understand he is a friend of yours: it will be as well for you to continue friendly.
You must preach next Sabbath. How are you going to work Sabbath-keeping into that? 'It is not my profession. I am a mere man-of-the-earth. But what's the use of a preacher if he can't make any text mean something else? 'Well, of course, every text usually does, said the preacher defensively. 'There is the hidden meaning and the plain meaning. But Joseph is merely historical narrative.
Elkan Benjamin, with his four mistresses, they will all be there, and Gideon, the Man-of-the-Earth, M.P., ah, it will be terrible. If I could only get them to see it performed, they should have free passes." "No, shoot them first; it would be more merciful. But where is this comedy to be played?" asked Hamburg curiously.
And yet, here was Zussmann an assiduous attendant at the synagogue of the first floor nay, a scholar so conversant with Hebrew, not to mention European, lore, that the Red Beadle felt himself a Man-of-the-Earth, only retaining his superiority by remembering that learning did not always mean logic. "Nature make herself!" Zussmann now retorted, with a tolerant smile.
"I wrote his dedication in English, for he understands neither Hebrew nor German, the miserable, purse-proud, vanity-eaten Man-of-the-Earth." "Why, didn't he give you anything at all?" said the Reb. "Worse! He sent me back the book. But I'll be revenged on him. I'll take the acrostic out of the next edition and let him rot in oblivion.
Pinchas had made spluttering interruptions as frequently as he could in resistance of De Haan's brawny, hairy hand which was pressed against his nose and mouth to keep him down in the coal-scuttle, but now he exploded with a force that shook off the hand like a bottle of soda water expelling its cork. "You Man-of-the-Earth," he cried, sitting up in the coal-scuttle. "You are not even orthodox.
They are grown so cunning now they print their hellish appeals in Hebrew, knowing we reverence the Holy Tongue." "Yes, the ordinary Man-of-the-Earth believes everything that's in Hebrew. That was the mistake of the Apostles to write in Greek. But then they, too, were such Men-of-the Earth." "I wonder who writes such good Hebrew for the missionaries," said Reb Shemuel.
