He seriously considered himself a Briton, regarding his naturalization papers as retrospective. 'We are just passing the Reverend Gabriel's house, he went on.
The pulpit yes, the pulpit was swathed in the Union Jack; and looking towards the box of the Parnass and Gabbai, she saw it was occupied by officers with gold sashes. Somebody whispered that he with the medalled breast was a Christian Knight and Commander of the Bath 'a great honour for the synagogue! What! were Christians coming to Jewish services, even as she had gone to Christian?
'Is he open again? gasped the Parnass, hurled from his judicial calm. 'Is my eye open? witheringly retorted Barzinsky. 'A fat lot of good your preacher does. 'It was you who would elect him instead of Rochinsky, the Parnass reminded him. Barzinsky was taken aback. 'Well, we don't want foreigners, do we? he murmured.
When the resolution came up Mr. Solomon Barzinsky moved as an amendment that weekly be altered into 'twice a week, since the member kept open on Friday night as well as Saturday. The Parnass refused to accept the amendment. There was only one Sabbath a week, though it had two periods. 'And the evening and the morning were one day. Mr. Peleg supported the amendment. They must not leave Mr.
'Sit down! sit down! said the Parnass roughly. 'It's no matter how the resolution sounds. It will be in writing.

Carried. 'By a majority, sneered the stylist, subsiding. 'Mr.
'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!

'And he is sure to take a sudden death, put in Barzinsky with unction. 'He will not be buried among Jews, wound up the Parnass. 'Hear, hear! A murmur of satisfaction ran round the table. All felt that Simeon Samuels was cornered at last. It was resolved that the resolution be sent to him. 'Mr.
'Not while Simeon Samuels is selling them cheaper, as with his Sabbath profits he can well afford to do! 'Oh, he said he'd stick to his Sabbath profit, did he? inquired the Parnass.

'I'll go let him suspect my motives or not.
'If you'd only thought of that sort of "Buy! buy!" at the first! 'Order, order! said the Parnass. 'It would be more in order, said Straumann, 'to appoint an executive sub-committee to deal with the question. I'm sick of it. And surely we as a Synagogue Council can't be in order in ordering some of our members to buy out another. 'Hear, hear! His suggestion found general approval.
'I can't wait more than a quarter of an hour, grumbled various voices in various keys. Peleg departed nervously, upborne by the congregational esteem. He returned without even his own.
