  • Feeling exhausted, Rose hailed a cab. But no sooner did she start moving than the two blackmailers reappeared. She ran out of the cab and dashed into the nearest building asking for a imaginary tenant, pretending to know him. At this moment the cab driver entered. She tried to hide from him behind an armchair but he forced her to leave. He said that the two women were gone and that he will take her where she wants. Of course he knew that she was a Jew and demanded money.
