Alpha Book

"Accursed Jew!" said Ziska.
"That is right, Ziska; curse him; it is so easy."
"And you too will be cursed--here and hereafter. If you marry a Jew you
will be accursed to all eternity."
"That, too, is very easy to say."
"It is not I who say it. The priest will tell you the same."
"Let him tell me so; it is his business, but it is not yours. You say
it because you cannot have what you want yourself; that is all. When
shall I call in the Ross Markt for the papers?" In the Ross Markt was
the house of business of Karil Zamenoy, and there, as Nina well knew,
were kept the documents which she was so anxious to obtain. But the
demand at this moment was made simply with the object of vexing Ziska,
and urging him on to further anger.
"Unless you will give up Anton Trendellsohn, you had better not come to
the Ross Markt."
"I will never give him up."
"We will see. Perhaps he will give you up after a while. It will be a
fine thing to be jilted by a Jew."
"The Jew, at any rate, shall not be jilted by the Christian.
