As he finished speaking, Trendellsohn held the door of the room open in his hand, and Ziska, not being ready with any answer, passed through it and descended the stairs. The Jew followed him and also held open the house door, but did not speak again as Ziska went out. Nor did Ziska say a word, the proper words not being ready to his tongue.
She did believe that Trendellsohn, as a Jew, would injure himself greatly by marrying a Christian. She did believe that the Jews of Prague would treat him somewhat as the Christians would treat herself. For herself such treatment would be nothing, if she were but once married; but she could understand that to him it would be ruinous.
"A man has to look after himself in the world; but you were always easy-minded, Souchey." "I don't know about being so easy-minded. I know what would make me easy-minded enough." "You'll have to be servant to a Jew now." "No; I'll never be that." "I suppose he gives you something at odd times?" "Who? Trendellsohn? I never saw the colour of his money yet, and do not wish to see it."
Nina swore that if God gave her such a treasure as a daughter, that child should be named after the friend who had been so good to her. There were also a few words of parting between Anton Trendellsohn and the girl who had been brought up to believe that she was to be his wife; but though there was friendship in them, there was not much of tenderness.
Then Ruth went off to her bed, wondering at Nina's choice, and declaring to herself, that if ever she took in hand a lover at all, he should be a lover very different from her uncle, Anton Trendellsohn. The more Madame Zamenoy thought of the terrible tidings which had reached her, the more determined did she become to prevent the degradation of the connection with which she was threatened.
She put her hand up for a moment to her rich brown tresses, and felt them as she took joy in thinking that Anton Trendellsohn loved to look upon fair beauty. After a short while Anton Trendellsohn came down. To those who know the outward types of his race there could be no doubt that Anton Trendellsohn was a very Jew among Jews.
"But he comes here sometimes?" "Never, Lotta. I haven't seen Anton Trendellsohn within the doors these six months." "But she goes to him?" "Yes; she goes to him." "That's worse a deal worse." "I told her how it was when I saw her trotting off so often to the Jews' quarter. 'You see too much of Anton Trendellsohn, I said to her; but it didn't do any good."
"Perhaps we shall see each other after many years." Trendellsohn, as he sat beside his young wife in the post-carriage which took them out of the city, was silent till he had come nearly to the outskirts of the town; and then he spoke. "Nina," he said, "I am leaving behind me, and for ever, much that I love well." "And it is for my sake," she said. "I feel it daily, hourly.
There seemed to be no possible way by which Ziska could advance, and he would have been glad to retreat had retreat been possible. But first one Jew and then another moved their desks for him, so that he was forced to advance, and some among them pointed to the spot where Anton Trendellsohn was standing.
They are his, and you would not wish to keep things which belong to another, even though he should be a Jew." Then it occurred to Ziska that Trendellsohn might be willing to give up Nina if he got the papers, and that Nina might be willing to be free from the Jew by the same arrangement. It could not be that such a girl as Nina Balatka should prefer the love of a Jew to the love of a Christian.
