'Stay a minute, Liebchen'

Mr. Lapidoth asks his daughter Mirah for money so he can make himself presentable enough to see his son Ezra. This moment depicts Mirah’s discomfort and estrangement from her manipulative father, which stems from his forceful separation of Mirah from her brother (Book 8, Chapter 62).
