He slipped out of antinomies like a fish, and left his disciple marvelling at the rabbi's depth. Moreover, deep down in his heart the Doctor was disappointed with the ill-success of his more formal education.
The wind was from the right quarter on the first day I visited Kilbogie Manse, and as we went up the garden walk the Rabbi's library already bade us welcome, and assured us of our reward for a ten-miles' walk.
If the Emperor were in a happy frame of mind he might, perhaps, be induced to appear during the latter part of the night at the banquet which Verus was giving on the eve of his birthday, and at which all that was beautiful to the eye and ear was to be seen and heard; or a thousand favoring and helpful accidents might occur and at any rate the Rabbi's forecast furnished him good fortune for the next few years.
"My step-mother is ecstatic over the success of her scheming, and even condescends to be kind to me,-to me, Lizzie, whom she has so long and so faithfully despised. "My father, too, seems happy over this alliance, knowing Mark's excellent character and business qualifications, and appreciating the connection with the rabbi's family.

How could he, Verus, expect that Caesar should ally his fortunate star with the fatal star of another doomed to die?
The Rebbitzin poured out the Rabbi's coffee and whitened it with milk drawn direct from the cow into her own jug. The butter and cheese were equally kosher, coming straight from Hebrew Hollanders and having passed through none but Jewish vessels. As the Reb sat himself down at the head of the table Hannah entered the room. "Good morning, father," she said, kissing him.
"Who is my husband?" she interrupted him, impetuously. Thoughts welled up in the rabbi's heart like a tumultuous sea in which opposing conjectures cross and recross each other's course. Should he speak with her as with an ordinary sinner? "Were you, perhaps, forced to be married?" he inquired, as quietly as possible, after a pause.
