THE GOD OF VENGEANCE
Hindel, still crying.
If we'll have our own "house," she'll come to us.
Shloyme
Sure?
Hindel, drying her eyes.
Yes. But she doesn't want to come alone. She wants to bring a chum.
Shloyme
Certainly. Do you imagine you can make any money on one girl, — even enough to pay the rent?
Hindel
We ought to have a fresh young girl. . .
Shloyme
Upon my soul! Then we'd do business! But where can we get her?
Hindel
I've got my eye on one — as beautiful as the day,[1] and still untouched.
Shloyme, curious.
Can we get her for the business?
Hindel
I should say! . . .
[ 44 ]
- ↑ Literally 'as beautiful as a tree.'
