Passover eve!
Dvossa stands, with all the other
workers, at a long table, shaking her-
self over the Passover work. Iler
legs are like blocks of wood, her arms
like cushions. And her limbs are ach-
ing. Her head feels as if it were
filled with lead. Iler face is sleepy.
She is sloppy, exhausted, pale and
inanimate.
It is quiet. No one makes witty
remarks, as on the first nights. No
one makes jokes. No one has the
strength left. No tongue can move.
Silence! Only the rustling of the
rolling-pins is heard, and the creak-
ing of the matzo wheels, when they
roll the matzos off on to the metal
table. . . Frequently, a long, tired
human yawn is to be heard.
But, for this, no one has any time,
either. No one will allow himself the
time even to wipe the perspiration off
his face. .
But—may the Jewish dispersion
last no longer!
Now they are finishing the last of
the dough. .
Finished! A long 'Ah-h-h !' tears it-
self from every mouth. The women
who had been rolling out the dough,
drag themselves over to the benches
and fall down, one after the other.
The 'wheelers' have still got a few
matzos. Now it is the last marking.
But, the oven attendant has still got
something to do at the 'hell.'
From the 'hell' there comes out, at
last, the last of the matzos.
"Oaf!' exclaims the oven-attend-
ant, and moves away from the oven.
The 'collector' collects the last batch
of fresh matzos from the bench. .
But, they are not going home yet.
Now, the youngsters are going.
a heavy road! And there is the floor
not washed yet.
'Oh!' she groaned.
Her sleepiness had already passed
away. She snatched up a pail, and
ran off for water for the floor.
• • •
It was already long past mid-day
when she heard the rattling of
wheels. She recognized her husband's
'Pruuu!' and the joyful whinny of the
horse. 'Good health!' she wishes him,
in her heart. Ile has been serving
them nearly eight years. The sec-
ond horse was a new one. And she
knew what trouble her husband had
with it on the road.
She removed the scum from the
fish she was cooking, and betook her-
self to the charoses. Meanwhile, her
husband came into the house.
'Will you eat?' asks Dvossa,
"Will I eat?' he answers. 'Eat?
And who will carry off the packets?
And when can I go to the baths?
Get my linen ready.'
He threw down his whip, and dis-
appeared from the house.
The house was already clean and
bright with the festival candles. A
white cloth covered the canvas which
had been spread on the clean table.
The seder was ready. At the head
of the table, on two chairs, the
'throne' had been made. On the table
stood plates, wine-cups, a bottle of
raisin wine, the fish, the 'dish,' and
the parsley. . .
Palteal sat on the 'throne' and
sleepily counted out the plagues.
' Blood, frogs, lice. . .
Dvossa counted them after him,
and, like him, snored from out the
wine cup. The children fell asleep
sitting at the table.
Palteal held his own. Dvossa went
