Malka fixed her audience with her piercing eye, and said in a tone that scarce brooked contradiction: "Hyam Robins couldn't have married Shmool's sister because Shmool's sister was already the wife of Abraham the fishmonger." "Yes, but Shmool had two sisters," said Mrs. Jacobs, audaciously asserting her position as the rival genealogist. "Nothing of the kind," replied Malka warmly.
"His first wife," put in Malka's husband, with the air of arbitrating between the two, "was Shmool the publican's eldest daughter." "Shmool the publican's daughter," said Malka, stirred to fresh indignation, "married Hyam Robins, the grandson of old Benjamin, who kept the cutlery shop at the corner of Little Eden Alley, there where the pickled cucumber store stands now."
"I'm quite sure," persisted Mrs. Jacobs. "There was Phoeby and there was Harriet." "Nothing of the kind," repeated Malka. "Shmool had three sisters. Only two were in the deaf and dumb home." "Why, that, wasn't Shmool at all," Milly forgot herself so far as to say, "that was Block the Baker." "Of course!" said Malka in her most acid tone. "My kinder always know better than me."
