On that evening nothing was said on the subject between him and his father, and on the next morning he started immediately after breakfast for the Ross Markt, in order that he might see Karil Zamenoy, as he had said that he would do. The papers, should he get them, would belong to his father, and would at once be put into his father's hands.
Josef's wife, Nina's mother, had long been dead, having died so said Sophie Zamenoy, her sister of a broken heart; of a heart that had broken itself in grief, because her husband had joined his fortunes with those of a Jew.
"It was not the girl who did it not the girl herself." "Why should a woman be honester than a man? I tell you, Anton, that this girl has the deed." "Ziska Zamenoy has told you so?" "Yes, he has told me. But I am not a man to be deceived because such a one as Ziska wishes to deceive me. You, at least, know me better than that. That which I tell you, Ziska himself believes."
"So, sir, you are Anton Trendellsohn," began Madame Zamenoy, as soon as Ziska was gone for Ziska had been told to go and the door was shut. "Yes, madame; I am Anton Trendellsohn. I had not expected the honour of seeing you, but I wish to say a few words on business to your husband." "There he is; you can speak to him."
"You are thinking about yourself, aunt Sophie; and I must think for myself." "You do not regard your father, then?" "Yes, I do regard my father. He knows that I regard him. Father, is it true that I do not regard you?" "She is a good daughter," said the father. "A good daughter, and talk of marrying a Jew!" said Madame Zamenoy. "Has she your permission for such a marriage?
Madame Zamenoy had been at Paris, and took much delight in telling her friends that the carriage also was Parisian; but, in truth, it had come no further than from Dresden.
Not that Souchey would be untrue to her on behalf of Madame Zamenoy, whom he hated; but that he would think himself bound by his religious duty he who never went near priest or mass himself to save his mistress from the perils of the Jew. The story of her love must be told, and Nina preferred to tell it herself to having it told for her by her servant Souchey. She must see Anton.
In business with Trendellsohn, the father, there was Anton, his son; and Anton Trendellsohn was the Jew whom Nina Balatka loved. Now it had so happened that Josef Balatka, Nina's father, had drifted out of a partnership with Karil Zamenoy, a wealthy Christian merchant of Prague, and had drifted into a partnership with Trendellsohn.
Yes, they might kill her; and then there would be an end of it. But to that end she would force them to come before she would yield. So much she swore to herself as she walked home on that morning to the Kleinseite. Madame Zamenoy, when Nina left her, sat in solitary consideration for some twenty minutes, and then called for her chief confidant, Lotta Luxa.
As regarded the laws of the land, he, as a Jew, might fix his residence anywhere in Prague or around Prague; he might have gardens, and lands, and all the results of money; he might put his wife into a carriage twice as splendid as that which constituted the great social triumph of Madame Zamenoy but so strong against such a mode of life were the traditional prejudices of both Jews and Christians, that any such fashion of living would be absolutely impossible to him.
