Although Miriam Cohen had a good job designing clothes in a top shop in Golders Green, she wasn't satisfied with being single. In fact she and her mother, Freda, shared the same wish - Miriam should marry a wealthy man, please God.
One day, Miriam came home from work with eyes red and sore from crying and went straight to Freda. "Mum, I'm pregnant. Please don't get upset - the father is my boss." Miriam then began to cry again and Freda had to stay with her most of the night. The next morning, an angry Freda went with Miriam to see her boss.
"Nu, she said, so what's going to happen to Miriam now?"
Miriam's boss was a handsome, single, well dressed man of 32. He replied, "Please take a seat Mrs. Cohen and don't worry. I'm taking care of all the arrangements. Before the baby is born, Miriam will have the best doctor money can buy. Later on, she'll be booked into the best private clinic in London and after the baby is born, I will set up a trust fund for Miriam. She will receive $1,000 each week until the baby reaches 21. I can't do better than that."
Freda was initially taken aback by this news but then responded, "Tell me," she said, "God forbid Miriam should have a miscarriage, but if she does, will you give her a second chance?"
