'Oh, Simeon Samuels has been talking to you, has he? 'I don't need Simeon Samuels' wisdom. I'm an Englishman myself. The desperate measures of the Sub-Committee were successful. The other marine-dealers hastened to associate themselves with the plan of campaign, and Simeon Samuels soon departed in search of a more pious seaport. But, alas! homoeopathy was only half-vindicated.
But as the week went by he found Barzinsky was not the only man to egg him on to prophetic denunciation; the congregation at large treated him as responsible for the scandal, and if the seven marine-dealers were the bitterest, the pawnbrokers and the linen-drapers were none the less outraged. 'It is a profanation of the Name, they said unanimously, 'and such a bad example to our poor!
'The Executive Sub-Committee passed the resolution to 'To break the Sabbath! interrupted the Parnass. 'We had already sacrificed our money; there was nothing left but to sacrifice our deepest feelings 'But what for? 'Why, to destroy his advantage, of course. Five-sixths of his Sabbath profits depend on the marine-dealers closing, and when he sees he's breaking the Sabbath in vain
'Even the man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath was stoned to death, whispered the squat Solomon Barzinsky to the lanky Ephraim Mendel, marine-dealers both. 'Alas! that would not be permitted in this heathen country, sighed Ephraim Mendel, hitching his praying-shawl more over his left shoulder. 'But at least his windows should be stoned.
The glad news spread through the Sudminster Congregation that Simeon Samuels had at last been bought out at a terrible loss to the martyred marine-dealers who had had to load themselves with chutney and other unheard-of and unsaleable stock. But they would get back their losses, it was felt, by the removal of his rivalry.
'The congregation through its Council gave the Committee full power to deal with the matter, said Barzinsky with dignity. 'But then the other marine-dealers will open as well as the Committee! 'I trust not, replied Barzinsky fervently. 'Two of us are enough to cut down his takings. 'But the whole lot of you would be still more efficacious.
'And you can buy in my barometer with the rest, added Peleg. 'We could call a meeting of marine-dealers, said Barzinsky, disregarding him. 'We could say to them we must sacrifice ourselves for our religion. 'Tell that to the marine-dealers! murmured Straumann. 'And that we must buy out the Sabbath-breaker at any cost. 'Buy! buy! said Straumann.
'You mean? said the Parnass, befogged in his turn. 'I mean, said Barzinsky, 'we could buy up his stock, me and the other marine-dealers between us, and he could clear out! 'If he sold it reasonably, added Mendel. 'Even unreasonably you must make a sacrifice for the Sabbath, said the Parnass. 'Besides, divided among the lot of you, the loss would be little.
The Almighty knows they are pure. 'Bravo! Well spoken! There was a burst of applause. Several marine-dealers shot out their hands and grasped Barzinsky's in admiration. 'Do not await me, gentlemen, he said importantly. 'Go in peace. 'Good afternoon, Mr. Samuels, said Solomon Barzinsky. 'Good afternoon, sir. What can I do for you? 'You you don't know me? I am a fellow-Jew.
