After the celebration & dancing, each one left for their quarters, and I was taken to the bride's home into a large room with old broken furniture and 2 beds, one for me and one for the bride.

Notes:

Here is an entry from Saul's son-in-law Abraham Sheinaus' memoir:

"Mr. S. Cohen, my present uncle by marriage, did not miss a day inquiring whether I was released from the engagment, and to me he said plainly that he would do everything possible under the sun to get me in into his family circle.

"As soon as he found that I am released, it came to pass that with a political maneuver he attained his goal, by a prearrangement. He wrote to his brother in law Mr. Saul Orel who resided in Grigaropel, state of Cherson (40 vierst from Tiraspol) [Tiraspol: 2nd largest city in Moldova] that he proposed to my father to meet Mr. S. Orel with his daugther Frime ñ in Tiraspol, and my [father?] accepted the proposition, therefore at a moment's notice they shall leave for Tiraspol and immediately send a telegram to him stating their arrival as per arrangement."

"Their answer was: Being the girl is nice and her father a lernd and a witty man, both of them made a good impression on them and if the cash dowery was not high enough, it will be counter balanced by the obligation of Mr. Orel to give to the married couple unlimited support (Eibige Kest), and I will be the sole manager of his established wholesale and retail licquor buisiness, aside from his eight thousant ruble, outstanding among the inhabitants of the German colony, Glikstall, because all his children are married and the girl is the only child living with her parents.*
