"Let me be! I'm too old now to get a Chosan, so let me be as I am. I can always earn my own living." "Thou seest, Shemuel?" said Simcha. "Thou seest my sorrows? Thou seest how impious our children wax in this godless country." "Let her be, Simcha, let her be," said the Reb. "She is young yet. If she hasn't any inclination thereto !" "And what is her inclination? A pretty thing, forsooth!
Abraham entertained God's messengers though they came as weary travellers." "I know, father, it is not because of his appearance that I do not like him. If he is really a scholar and a poet, I will try to admire him as you do." "Now you speak like a true daughter of Israel." "But about my marrying him you are not really in earnest?" "He is." said Reb Shemuel, evasively.
The loud voice of Duke Yetter cut across the shrill angry voice of the victim of his wit. "You ought to a flanked the fellow, I tell you Jack. Yes sir 'ee, you ought to a flanked that reb and then when you got him flanked you ought to a knocked the stuffings out of the cuss. That's what I would a done," Duke shouted, laughing boisterously.
Reb Shemuel would have been scandalized if any one had applied these words to him. At about eleven o'clock Hannah came into the room, an open letter in her hand. "Father," she said, "I have just had a letter from Samuel Levine." "Your husband?" he said, looking up with a smile. "My husband," she replied, with a fainter smile. "And what does he say?"
Not to go home...." "Home?" There was heat in that. "You, if anyone, know that Red Springs was never really my home. And Forbes is an officer in the Union Army. This is no time for a Reb to camp out in his house. My grandfather wanted the place to be just Aunt Marianna's, didn't he?" He paused by the chest of drawers, his hand going out to the spurs, the gold cord.
He looked at her quizzingly. "No, dear," she said earnestly. "There's only Levi Jacobs, Reb Shemuel's son, who's been coming round sometimes to play with Solomon, and brings me almond-rock. But I don't care for him at least not in that way. Besides, he's quite above us." "Oh, is he? Wait till I write my novels!" "I wish you'd write them now. Because then I should have something to read Oh!"
Witnessing their embarkation, I could not repress a feeling of extreme uneasiness, which increased as officers and men appeared on every side. They were so many: I was the only woman on the boat. All were taken by the officers, who seemed utterly indifferent to the forlorn condition of "Madam Reb." Here he placed us, having locked us in to prevent intrusion.
The shock was too sudden, too terrible. She sank helplessly into a chair. "Something must be done, something shall be done," thundered David. "I will appeal to the Chief Rabbi." "And what can he do? Can he go behind the Torah?" said Reb Shemuel pitifully. "I won't ask him to. But if he has a grain of common sense he will see that our case is an exception, and cannot come under the Law."
It's a reproach and a shame that thou hast not yet found her a husband. Thou canst find husbands quick enough for other men's daughters!" "I found a husband for thy father's daughter," said the Reb, with a roguish gleam in his brown eyes. "Don't throw that up to me! I could have got plenty better. And my daughter wouldn't have known the shame of finding nobody to marry her.
The copse, all dim and smoky, flowered again, three hundred red points of fire. The sound was crushing, startling, beating at the ear drum. The Bucktails were shouting, "Come on, Johnny Reb! Go back, Johnny Reb! Don't know what you want to do, do you, Johnny Reb?" Ashby and the bay reached the front of the regiment. There was disorder, wavering, from underfoot groans and cries.
