So this was all his Machiavellian scheming had achieved to bring about the very marriage it was meant to avert! He had dug a pit and fallen into it himself. All this would indeed amuse Rozenoffski and Leopold Barstein. He laughed bitterly. 'Nay, it was no laughing matter, said the Bube indignantly. 'For I know well how Yossel longed to go with me to die in Jerusalem.
Always Sir Asher Aaronsberg speaks of sending us back to Russia. 'He would, said Barstein grimly. 'But where is Bursia? Nehemiah shrugged his shoulders. 'Shall I know? My little Rebeccah was drawing a map thereof; she won a prize of five pounds with which we lived two months. A genial child is my Rebeccah. 'Ah, then, the Almighty did send you something.
Barstein, observing all this uneasiness, became curiously angry with his fellow-Jews, despite that he had scrupulously forborne to cover his own head with his serviette; a racial pride he had not known latent in him surged up through all his cosmopolitanism, and he maliciously trusted that the brave Sir Asher would pray his longest.
'Gas! repeated Barstein, astonished. 'Then you propose to continue your dentistry too. 'It is for the restaurant I need the gas, elucidated Nehemiah. 'Unless there shall be a cheerful shining here the young men will not come. But the penny gas is all I need. 'Well, if it costs only a penny began Barstein. 'A penny in the slot, corrected Nehemiah.
Barstein gazed at him in silence. 'Come, come, said Sir Asher. 'You don't suppose I don't read the Jewish papers? I know all about your goings-on. The artist found his tongue.

'Surely the Madonna was a very beautiful conception, he said. Sir Asher looked startled. 'Ah yes, you are an artist, he remembered. 'You think only of the beautiful outside. But how can there be three-in-one or one-in-three? Barstein did not reply, and Sir Asher added in a low scornful tone: 'Neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance.
'Ah, but how shall I find achers? 'You put up a sign, said Barstein. 'One of those cases of teeth. I daresay the landlady will permit you to put it up by the front door, especially if you take an extra room. I will buy you the instruments, furnish the room attractively. You will put in your newspapers why, people will be glad to come as to a reading-room! he added smiling.
It was an arresting conception, and Barstein found himself sitting on the table to discuss it. The reverence with which Nehemiah listened to his views was touching and disconcerting. Barstein felt humbled by the celestial figure he cut in Nehemiah's mental mirror.
'We thank Thee, O Lord our God, because Thou didst give as an heritage unto our fathers a desirable, good, and ample land, and because Thou didst bring us forth, O Lord our God, from the land of Egypt, and didst deliver us from the house of bondage Barstein heard no more for the moment; the paradox of this retrospective gratitude was too absorbing. What!
