After the Beadle had been at work a day or two in the Gabbai's workshop, he broached the matter of a fellow-penitent, one Zussmann Herz, with no work and a bedridden wife. "That Meshummad!" He deserves all that God has sent him."
As the head fell back, it caught the light from the festive candles of the Passover board. The face was bare of hair; even the side curls were gone. 'Maimon the Meshummad! cried the mother, shuddering back. 'You have saved the Apostate. 'Did I not say the door must be opened? replied Ben Amram gently.
