Was he not one of the Conquerors, a member of the Superior Society, one of the Ruling Race, and, in short, a Somebody? The train started again and Horace sank back upon the long couch of the unwonted first-class carriage, and sighed with contentment and satisfaction. How different from Peckham and from the offices of the fine old British Firm of Schneider, Schnitzel, Schnorrer & Schmidt!
For the remainder of the forenoon Morris Perlmutter moved about the showroom with his face distorted in so gloomy a scowl that to Abe it seemed as though a fog enveloped his partner, through which there darted, like flashes of heat lightning, exclamations of "Schnorrer! Cripple! With my money yet!" and "Crust that feller got it!"
"Say, lookyhere, Shellak," Abe said in kindly tones, "what the devil are you trying to sell a Schnorrer like that a good fiddle? Why don't you give me a show?" The blood surged suddenly to Aaron's face. "You!" he stammered. "Why, Mr. Potash, I never knew you was interested in violins." "Sure; why not?" Abe replied. "Let me have a look at it."
'I pay my dollar what for shall I go? 'But it is the author of "Hamlet"! 'My money is as good as his. 'But he doesn't pay. 'And I shall give my good seat to a Schnorrer! 'Sh! sh! from all parts of the house, like water livening, not killing, a flame. From every side came expostulations in Yiddish and American. This was a free republic; the author of 'Hamlet' was no better than anybody else.
A Schnorrer living on the charity of strangers. If I mix with grand folks, it is as an independent man and an equal. But you, rather than marry any one who mightn't be able to give you carriages and footmen, you prefer to remain a Schnorrer." Esther was white and her lips trembled. "Now I must ask you to go," she said. "All right, don't flurry yourself!" he said savagely.
Do you know Louis Moses, the banker in Minsk?" Morris nodded. "That's from mir an uncle, verstehst du?" Gurin said; "and Zachs, the big corn merchant, that's also an uncle. My father ain't a Schnorrer neither, Mr. Perlmutter; in fact, instead I am sending home money to Russland like most fellers which they come to this country, Mr. Perlmutter, my people sends me money yet."
It is the duty of man to beget posterity, to found a home; for what is civilization but home, and what is home but religion?" The wanderer's tones were earnest; he forgot his own sins of omission in the lucidity with which his intellect saw the right thing. "Ah, you are one of the canting ones," said the Schnorrer. "It strikes me you and I could do something better together than quarrel.
And, raising it to his lips when it came, "Brother, here's to our partnership." "What, none for me?" cried Maimon, crestfallen. "Not till you had begged for it," chuckled the Schnorrer. "You have had your first lesson. Herr Landlord, yet another glass of your excellent whisky!"
In the course of the next fortnight seventeen of the recipients acknowledged the receipt with formal thanks, four sent the shilling mentioned on the cover, and one sent five shillings. This last depressed Zussmann more than all the others. "Does he take me for a Schnorrer?" he said, almost angrily, as he returned the postal order.
"Are you Meshuggah?" she asked after an awful silence. "Or have you, perhaps, saved up a tidy sum of money?" Esther flushed and shook her head. "There's no use coming to me. I'm not a rich woman, far from it; and I have been blessed with Kinder who are helpless without me. It's as I always said to your father. 'Méshe, I said, 'you're a Schnorrer and your children'll grow up Schnorrers."
