Auntie Sue went with the letter to Brian, and acquainted him with that part of the banker's communication which related to the absconding clerk; but, about her relation to the president of the Empire Consolidated Savings Bank, she said nothing. "Isn't it splendid!" she finished, her face glowing with delight. "Splendid?" he echoed, looking at her with grave, questioning eyes.
Her eyes flashed angrily and her laugh sounded forced. "Not even talk of her! My dear friend," she protested, "you scarcely repay the confidence I am placing in you!" "You mean the money?" "Precisely," she continued. "I trust you, why I do not know I suppose because I am something of a physiognomist with twelve thousand pounds of my hard-earned savings.
The reasons are simple enough. An abbey had no children between whom to divide its wealth, and therefore more land was always flowing in and concentrating, and never breaking up again; while almost every Abbot left his personalities, all his private savings and purchases, to his successor.
Second, the farmer is able as a rule to make some sort of a living for his family very largely out of the produce of the farm, so that he gets some return for his labor in terms of food, even when there is no profit in farming as a business; whereas the wage-earner of the city, as soon as his wages stop and his savings and credit are exhausted, must see his family supported by charity or starve.
And Caroline bursts into tears. "I've been pumping Benoit." "What is Benoit's opinion?" "Benoit thinks that the woman is a go-between, for monsieur keeps his secret from everybody, even from Benoit." For a week Caroline lives the life of the damned; all her savings go to pay spies and to purchase reports.
He had, to be sure, on the day of the baby's birth, deposited in the savings bank five hundred dollars to its credit; but what was money when weighed against being Christopher Mark Antony Burton, the fourth? And Christopher had thrived despite the fact that life, no respecter of persons, did not spare him the misfortunes common to the race.
The saving of a cent per piece may be distinctly worth while. A saving of one cent on a part at our present rate of production represents twelve thousand dollars a year. One cent saved on each part would amount to millions a year. Therefore, in comparing savings, the calculations are carried out to the thousandth part of a cent.
She said: 'I have some small savings from my salary when I was a governess. The change in her tone told me that she was alluding to the time of her residence at Mount Morven. It was impossible to look at this friendless girl, and not feel some anxiety about the lodging which she might have chosen in such a place as London.
In this respect it very favourably compares with the Post Office Savings Bank as administered in this country, which is not only worked at a loss, but, owing to various causes, has entailed a liability, nominal though it be, on the British taxpayer. Telegraphs were first introduced into Japan in 1869, and, as was the custom at that time in almost all countries, the telegraph followed the railway.
I suppose, if anything is certain, a plenitude, nay a plethora, of work is assured for some time after the war. Capital has piled up in hands which will control a vast amount of improved and convertible machinery. Purchasing power has piled up in the shape of savings out of the increased national income.
