There is nothing more trying to the patience of preceptors or companions of children, than restlessness;--than the wish to be where they are not, and the signs of their being weary of what they are employed upon. This trying restlessness, and desire of change, was never more obvious than in Merrick Morrison--a little spoiled boy, whom his kind uncle and aunt, Sir George and Lady Pemberton, had received into their family to spend his holidays, because a fever had broken out in his own; and not a day passed that did not convince them what an unsuitable companion he was for their children. They would have thought him a dangerous example also, had they not observed, that Edward and Harry, their amiable twins, were quite as much aware of Merrick's defects, as they themselves, and were equally tired of his company; though they were too well educated to make his faults the subject of conversation, and too well taught not to do all in their power to amuse their guest. For this purpose, as soon as their lessons were over, during which Merrick usually yawned annoyingly loud over the book which Sir George insisted on his reading, that he might not spend all his time in idleness, they used to challenge Merrick to different athletic exercises; to swam the rope, as it is called; to jump over a bar; to run races; or to dig with them in their garden, and play at battledore and shuttlecock; but he was soon tired of each amusement in its turn, and usually said, after a while--" Come, I am tired of this; let us go to something else!"

And though his companions expressed...
Download or read book The Shoemaker s Son written by Laura Beth Bakst and published by . This book was released on 2021-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Soviet Union invaded Iwje, Poland in September 1939, David Bakszt's life was thrown into turmoil. His father's business was shuttered, his family was impoverished overnight, and his tight-knit community was disbanded. Though David did not know it at the time, a similar fate had befallen many Eastern European Jews, including the Silberfarb family in Serniki, Poland. Then, the Nazis arrived. From crowded ghettos and frigid forests to the battlefields on the Eastern Front, The Shoemaker's Son tells the true story of the Bakszts' and Silberfarbs' fights for survival, their struggles to rebuild in the aftermath, and the lives that they saved and lost in the process. Written by a third-generation survivor, this book provides a sober but loving account of her refugee family's extraordinary resistance efforts against the Nazis, the survivors' remarkable ability to embrace life amid so much death, and the indelible impact left on them and future generations.

Stumbling onto a scandal, Ciro is sent to hide in America and work as apprentice in Little Italy. Enza is bereft, but her life too is about to change. Unbeknownst to one another, Ciro is later a shoemaker and Enza is working in a factory in nearby Hoboken when fate reunites them.
