Hilbrough's especial friendship, supported by Mrs. Hilbrough's gratitude, had of late put him in the way of making money more rapidly than heretofore; the probable early retirement of Farnsworth would advance him to the cashiership of the bank, and there opened before him as much as he had ever desired of business and social success.
Fairy gold, indeed, cannot be coined into marketable eagles. Mr. William Belden might never achieve either the mayoralty or the cashiership, but he had gained that of which money is only a trivial accessory.
Enough of the fatuity of parents. A month after the worthy couple became acquainted with Miss Merriam, she stood before Hinkle one afternoon and resigned her cashiership. "They're going to adopt me," she told the bereft restaurateur. "They're funny old people, but regular dears. And the swell home they have got!
"I'm told," Eva proceeded, "that the Birmingham and Sheffield Bank will promote him to the cashiership of the Hanbridge Branch on the understanding that he joins the Hanbridge Choir. Shows what influence they have! And it shows how badly the Hanbridge Choir wants him." "Who told you?" asked Mary Morfe, curtly. Richard Morfe said nothing.
Forrester had been a clerk in the city bank where his, Jimmie Dale's, father had transacted his business, and it was there he had first met Forrester. He had continued to meet Forrester there after his father had died; and then Forrester had been offered and had accepted the cashiership of a small local bank out near Bayside on Long Island.
"It isn't his fault if he doesn't," said Millard in a half-whisper. "I believe that if I made a move to advance both you and Farnsworth it could be carried." Meadows looked inquiringly at his companion. "What would become of the cashiership?" asked Millard. "I suppose we could divide that between us." "Won't you try a glass of Moselle?"
"The cashiership," he said, "could either be filled by some experienced man or it might be left vacant for a while." Millard saw a vision of Meadows, the discouraged brother, stepping in over his head. "If a cashier should be put in now," said Meadows, "it would end presently in old Rip Van Winkle's resigning, and then an advance along the whole line would move you up once more."
But I must live by some means. What shall I do?" "Decline the position," said the lady, "and come with me. I will tell you what to do." After Elsie had told the confectioner that she had changed her mind about the cashiership she put on her coat and followed the lady to the sidewalk, where awaited an elegant victoria.
Belden heard his name whispered in another direction, in connection with the cashiership of the new bank which was to be built. The cashiership and the mayoralty might be nebulous honors, but it was sweet, for once, to be recognized for what he was man of might; a man of talent, and of honor. There was a hurried rush for the train at the last on the part of the visitors. Mr.
Hinkle's is one of the big downtown restaurants. It is in what the papers call the "financial district." Each day from 12 o'clock to 2 Hinkle's was full of hungry customers messenger boys, stenographers, brokers, owners of mining stock, promoters, inventors with patents pending and also people with money. The cashiership at Hinkle's was no sinecure.
