But Rebecca had heard from a thousand sources of information that he who was to have been her lover had forgotten his own people and his own religion, and had given himself to a Christian girl.

Each, therefore, now knew that she looked upon an enemy and a rival; but each was anxious to be very courteous to her enemy.
Nina rose from her chair directly she saw her visitor, and came forward to meet her.

"I suppose you hardly know who I am, Fraeulein ?" said Rebecca.
"Oh, yes," said Nina, with her pleasantest smile; "you are Rebecca Loth." "Yes, I am Rebecca Loth, the Jewess." "I like the Jews," said Nina.
Rebecca was not dressed now as she had been dressed on that gala occasion when we saw her in the Jews' quarter.

Then she had been as smart as white muslin and bright ribbons and velvet could make her.

Now she was clad almost entirely in black, and over her shoulders she wore a dark shawl, drawn closely round her neck.
