At first sight all this seemed quite simple, because a woman is naturally inclined to care for little children, and it may have been so with her to an exceptional degree, but closer examination convinced me that here lay yet another reason; her attentions to the child, so it seemed, awakened pleasant memories of a long-ago past, when she herself was a young mother caring for children of her own, and looking at this strange child had stirred a longing for those other children, further from her eyes, but nearer to her heart, although perhaps quite unknown to her--who perhaps existed only in her imagination. keywords: ask; bed; black; book; boy; chayyim; children; come; day; days; death; door; earth; end; eyes; ezrielk; face; father; feivke; fishel; god; going; good; great; half; hands; head; heart; heb; help; home; house; jew; jewish; jews; left; life; look; man; men; money; mother; new; night; people; place; poor; prayer; rav; reb; room; round; sabbath; saw; shloimeh; shool; son; study; table; teacher; thing; thought; time; torah; town; voice; want; way; white; wife; woman; words; work; world; years cache: 33707.txt plain text: 33707.txt item: #7 of 15 id: 34617 author: Franzos, Karl Emil title: The Jews of Barnow: Stories date: None words: 77664 flesch: 84 summary: Be silent, repeated Chane, stretching her hand toward the fat, trembling little man.
