He'll go to his friends the Yankees. As soon as this damnable winter is over, we'll remedy all that.

The black-haired Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end, satanically glaring at and spying on the unsuspicious girl whom he plans to seduce, adulterating her blood and removing her from the bosom of her own people.
