Gott in Himmel!" He tore the sheet frantically across and rushed from the shop. In five minutes he reappeared. Raphael was absorbed in reading the last proof. Pinchas plucked timidly at his coat-tails. "You vill put it in next veek?" he said winningly. "I dare say," said Raphael gently. "Ah, promise me.
