        Solomon Margolin regarded her quietly. She had had her own share of troubles. She had suffered in silence for her two brothers, even for Hans, the Nazi. She had gone through a prolonged change of life. Now her face was flushed and covered with beads of sweat. He earned more than enough to pay for a maid, yet Gretl insisted on doing all the housework herself, even the laundry. It had become a mania with her. Every day she scoured the oven. She was forever polishing the windows of their apartment on the sixteenth floor and without using a safety belt.

            Pity would be no more
            If we did not make somebody Poor;
            And Mercy no more could be
            If all were as happy as we.
            And mutual fear brings peace,
            Till the selfish loves increase:
            Then Cruelty knits a snare,
            And spreads his baits with care.
            He sits down with holy fears,
            And waters the ground with tears;
            Then Humility takes its root
            Underneath his foot.
