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.
Then Madame Zamenoy lifted up the hem of her garment and stepped proudly into the old man's chamber. By this time Balatka knew what was about to befall him, and was making himself ready for the visit. He was well aware that he should be sorely perplexed as to what he should say in the coming interview.
The cold weather had come, or rather weather that was cold in the morning and cold in the evening, and old Balatka kept his bed altogether.
The Jew returned at once into the synagogue, having during the interview with Ziska worn the short white surplice in which he had been found; and Ziska returned at once to his own house in the Windberg-gasse. Early on the following morning the morning of the Christian Sunday Nina Balatka received a note, a very short note, from her lover the Jew.
It was written on the model of Nina Balatka and Linda Tressel, but is very inferior to either of them. In November of the same year, 1867, I began a very long novel, which I called He Knew He Was Right, and which was brought out by Mr. Virtue, the proprietor of the St. Paul's Magazine, in sixpenny numbers, every week.
"There she is, and you will speak to her yourself now," said Balatka. Ziska got up to go, but as he did so he fumbled in his pocket and brought forth a little bundle of bank-notes. A bundle of bank-notes in Prague may be not little, and yet represent very little money.
Then Nina Balatka had come across his path, and he was compelled to shape his dreams anew. How could a Jew among Jews hold up his head as such who had taken to his bosom a Christian wife? But again he shaped his dreams aright so far aright that he could still build the castles of his imagination to his own liking. Nina should be his wife.
But Nina Balatka was no coward, and she had already determined that she would at once tell her love to those who had a right to know in what way she intended to dispose of herself.
"Which I do not." "Pardon me, my friend, for a moment. If you had so thought, I said that there was a mode of escape without falsehood or disgrace. In saying so I must have seemed to urge you to break away from Nina Balatka." "You are all urging me to do that." "Coming from the others, such advice cannot even seem to have an improper motive."
In this frame of mind he went to the Ross Markt, and there he was assured over and over again by Ziska Zamenoy for Karil Zamenoy was not to be seen that Nina Balatka had the deed in her own keeping. The name of Nina Balatka was becoming very grievous to the old man.
