Chapter III
"It is well!" It sounded like a violin, and then the figure vanished. But it was the same eyes, the same voice. I took Schpol on my way home, and went to see the Old Man, for the Rebbe of Schpol was called by the people Der Alter, the "Schpol Grandfather." And I recognized him again, and he recognized me!
