They don't work in a shop, of course. One is a stenographer in a fine office and the other a school-teacher. But what difference does it make?" His office proved to be the hall bedroom of an apartment occupied by the family of a cantor named Wolpert. We first entered the dining-room, a door connecting it with Tevkin's "office" being wide open. It was late and the gas-light was burning.
The other two of Tevkin's children present were a chubby girl of twelve, named Gracie, and a young man of twenty-eight, two or three years older than Anna, named Sasha. Sasha had a half-interest in an evening preparatory school in which he taught mathematics, being now confined to the house by a slight indisposition Mrs.
It was for Miss Tevkin's return that I was watching. But the dinner-gong sounded before she made her appearance DINNER at the Rigi Kulm on a Saturday evening was not merely a meal. It was, in addition, or chiefly, a great social function and a gown contest The band was playing.
Ah, but I'm a good-looking chap myself and not as ignorant as most of the other fellows who have succeeded," I answered, inwardly. "Yes, and I am entitled to a better girl than Fanny, too." And I became conscious of Miss Tevkin's presence by my side Conversation with the poet's daughter was practically monopolized by the misanthropic photographer. I was seized with a desire to dislodge him.
It came to be tacitly understood that the library was to be left to the former, while the dining-room, in the basement, was used as Tevkin's office. Being "a friend of the family," I had the freedom of both "You're making a big mistake, Levinsky," Nodelman once said to me, with a gesture of deep concern. "What is biting you? Aren't you making money fast enough?
I'll tell your wife about it," the little girl replied, with the good humor of a woman of forty "Never mind my wife. But how about the fellow who is going to marry you?" "I'd like to see him myself. I hope he ain't going to be some boob." The air was redolent of grass, flowers, ozone, and sex. All this was flavored with Miss Tevkin's antipathy for me THE next morning I awoke utterly out of sorts.
