"Yes; by your friend Rebecca. She must be a good girl."
"She is a good girl, Nina."
"And you shall know everything; see — she sent me these," and Nina showed her shoes; "and the very stockings I have on; I am not ashamed that you should know."
"Your want, then, has been so great as that?"
"Father has been very poor. How should he not be poor when nothing is earned? And she came here, and she saw it."
"She sent you these things?"
"Yes, Ruth came with them; there was a great basket with nourishing food for father. It was very kind of her. But, Anton, Rebecca says that I ought not to marry you, because of our religion. She says all the Jews in Prague will become your enemies."
"We will not stay in Prague; we will go elsewhere. There are other cities besides Prague."
"Where nobody will know us?"
"Where we will not be ashamed to be known."
