from you, but neither could I endure falsehood."
"I have never been false to you. With God's help I never will be false

"He has given you His help. He has made you true-hearted, and I do not

Nina paused a moment, and then she replied with eagerness, "Quite

keeping anything from you, do you," said Nina.
"I do not know," said the Jew. "I am not sure."
"You may be sure. You may be quite sure. Father is at least honest."
"I have always thought so."
"And do you not think so still?"

would feel it to be beneath him to rob a Jew, and I do not altogether
blame them. They believe that we would rob them, and many of us do so.
