Was Muller the "fence" we were seeking, or only a tool for the "fence" higher up? Who was this Stein? What it all meant I could only guess. It was a far cry from the wealth of Diamond Lane to a dingy Bowery pawnshop, even though pawnbroking at one per cent. a month and more, on the side pays. I knew, too, that diamonds are hoarded on the East Side as nowhere else in the world, outside of India.
Pawnbroking establishments were finally authorized by Leo X., who threatened excommunication of those who wrote against them. In their turn the Protestants now exhibited a dislike against establishments thus authorized by Rome.
"You attended to him?" "Yes." "You had never seen him before?" "No." "Ever seen him since?" Zillah hesitated for a moment. "I saw him accidentally in Kensington Gardens, on Sunday," she answered at last. "Have any conversation with him?" "Yes," admitted Zillah. "About pawnbroking?" "No!" retorted Zillah. "About his work writing." "Did he tell you he was very hard up?" "I knew that!" said Zillah.
He preferred to contemplate rather than share in such festivities: and he now followed his bent with a most exquisite misery, because he considered that never had any other poet occupied a situation more picturesque.

Bart sold those, but from all accounts he was a Shylock when dealing, after seven o'clock, in the pawnbroking way. I understand now. Sober, he was a timid fool; drunk, he was a bold, clever villain."
I must get a Herald to invent an escutcheon of my family, and throw a genealogical tree into the bargain in consideration of my taking a few second-hand heirlooms of a pawnbroking friend of his. I must get up sham ancestors, and find out some notorious name to start my pedigree from.
