After Aarons, a Jewish man leaves his office position, the climate around the office becomes more positive. Everyone in the office liked him despite their prejudice against him being Jewish. It surprised his co-workers when Aarons suddenly quit his job one day without saying goodbye to anyone. He just slammed his desk and left.

No one asked him where he was going. After he left, they laughed about him and called him derogatory things. The atmosphere in the office became lighter as they were accompanied by a Jewish communist. After all, the office crew decides they do not like Aarons very much.

Before Aarons, the crew in the office felt powerful as they were able to do their work in the editorial bureau without criticism. However, after Aarons, they felt foolish compared to Aaron’s work. For some reason, they thought they lost their self-respect in copying Aaron’s work ethic.

One day the boss called them all into his office and told them to be more like Aarons. The boss said that no one could convince people of things like Aarons. Afterward, Aarons said nothing and sat with his head in his hands.

One of Aaron’s co-workers, Miss Childe, makes a joke about Aarons.

Aarons talks to his antisemitic co-worker, Mr. Mold, and asks if he would have his wife walk the streets for him if he could not get a job. Aarons continues, asking again if Mr. Mold found himself so dissatisfied and embarrassed with his job, would he have his wife and child go to work. Mr. Mold appears caught off guard.

Mr. Mold begins laughing as he thinks Aarons is joking. Aarons is not joking. Aarons looked as if he might cry. He quit soon after this.
