For a moment the dazzling sunshine continued on Yossel's face, then a cloud began to pass across it. 'But how can I take your money? I am not a Schnorrer. Schneemann did not find the question easy to answer. The more so as Yossel's eagerness to go and die in Palestine seemed to show that there was no reason for packing him off.
He jumped from his chair and went to the safe, from which he extracted two crisp Russian banknotes. "A hundred rubles apiece," he said, and his face beamed with pride. "So, you see, I don't got to leave Russland because I would be a Schnorrer over there." "No?" Morris replied. "Then why did you leave, Gurin? So far what I could see you ain't made it such a big success over here."
He did not forsee the day when, a Schnorrer indeed, he would have taken five shillings from anybody who could afford it: had no prophetic intuition of that long, slow progression of penurious days which was to break down his spirit. For though he managed for a time to secure enough work to keep himself and the Red Beadle going, his ruin was only delayed.
She went and married your father, though I warned her he was a Schnorrer and only wanted her because she had a rich family; he'd have sent you out with matches if I hadn't stopped it.
In the dark days that followed the scene with Levi, Esther's resolution had gradually formed. The position had become untenable. She could no longer remain a Schnorrer; abusing the bounty of her benefactors into the bargain. She must leave the Goldsmiths, and at once. That was imperative; the second step could be thought over when she had taken the first. And yet she postponed taking the first.
"But have you no self-respect?" cried Maimon, in amaze. "No morality? No religion?" "I have as much religion as any Schnorrer on the road," replied the beggar, bridling up. "I keep my Sabbath." "Yes, indeed," said Maimon, smiling, "our sages say, Rather keep thy Sabbath as a week-day than beg; you say, Rather keep thy week-day as a Sabbath than be dependent on thyself."
This scandal must cease. 'And who are you to give orders? shrieked Solomon Barzinsky. 'You're not speaking to a Schnorrer, mind you. My banking account is every bit as big as yours. For two pins I start an opposition Shool. 'A Sunday Shool! said the Parnass sarcastically. 'And why not? It would be better than sitting playing solo on Sundays. We are not in Palestine now.
In the mean inn in which he halted for refreshment he was glad to encounter a fellow-Jew and one in companionable rags. Maimon made inquiries from him about the roads and whither they led, and gathered with some surprise that his companion was a professional Schnorrer. "Are not you?" asked the beggar, equally surprised. "Certainly not!" cried Maimon angrily.
I guess you hear already why I am coming to this country." Morris elevated his eyebrows. "I suppose you are coming here like anybody else comes here," he said. "Sooner as stay in the old country and be a Schnorrer all your life, you come over here, ain't it?" "No, siree, sir," Gurin replied emphatically. "If I would stay in the old country, Perlmutter, I don't got to be a Schnorrer.
Esther turned white, but the dwindling of Malka's semi-divinity had diminished the old woman's power of annoying her. "I want to earn my own living," she said, with a smile that was almost contemptuous. "Do you call that being a Schnorrer?" "Don't argue with me.
