ABSTRACT
When Gershon Rokin left the Hotel de France with Elkanah to go to meet the wealthy woman, Elkanah said to Gershon as they were walking along the main street of the city, “It will not be in our favor if we arrive at the home of this honored lady at too early an hour, before I have told her that a visitor from out of town is coming to see her, so that she can be ready to receive him properly. So I will take you to the house of a friend of mine in one of the suburbs, and I will find a carriage and drive to Leonova, and tell the rich beauty that the young man whose photograph she has seen wants to visit her. Now give me your visiting card and I will tell her that you have sent her a token so that she will say when it will be suitable for you to come to her.”
