'Don't you see from this insolent letter how right I was? The rascal threatens to drag us to the Christian Courts, that's clear. All that about Jerusalem is only dust thrown into our eyes. 'Grave-dust, murmured Straumann. 'Order! He is a dangerous customer. 'Shopkeeper, corrected Straumann. The Parnass glared, but took snuff silently.
Enough! said the Parnass, with a tactful inspiration. 'And Mr. 'You always try to drive a hard bargain, grumbled the Parnass. 'That's a question for Mr. Gabriel. The reverend gentleman had a happy thought. 'Wait till we come to the text: "Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren." 'You're a gentleman, Mr. Gabriel, ejaculated S. Cohn's son-in-law, clutching at his hand.
'The Sabbath is eternal, repeated the Parnass doggedly. 'It has nothing to do with countries. Before we got to the Promised Land we kept the Sabbath in the wilderness. 'Yes, and God sent a double dose of manna on the Friday. Do you mean to say He sends us here a double dose of profit? 'He doesn't let us starve. We prospered well enough before you brought your wretched example
'Then my wretched example cannot lead the congregation away. I am glad of it. You do them much more harm by your way of Sabbath-breaking. 'My way! 'Yes, my dear old father peace be upon him! would have been scandalized to see the burden you carry on the Sabbath. 'What burden do I carry? 'Your snuff-box! The Parnass almost dropped it.

I never list presume to Parnass hill, But piping low, in shade of lowly grove, I play to please myself, albeit ill. Spencer Shep. Cal. June. Manuscript in folio. Circa 1696. There is no other book in my library to which I feel that I possess so clear a presumptive right as to this manuscript.

'A stranger would imagine we were a congregation of Sabbath-breakers. 'But there wasn't any stranger, said the minister. 'There was Simeon Samuels, the Parnass reminded him. 'Perhaps your sermon against Sabbath-breaking made him fancy he was just one of a crowd, and that you have therefore only hardened him 'But you told me to preach against Sabbath-breaking, said the poor minister.
'At that rate, it would be permitted to eat a ham-sandwich just for once, said Solomon scathingly. 'Don't say I called you a dog, the Parnass laughed. 'A mezaire! announced the hostess hurriedly. 'After all, it's the Almighty's business, not ours. 'No, it's our business, Solomon insisted. 'Yes, agreed the Parnass drily; 'it is your business.
