During his annual holiday, with his wife and family, his son, who usually had the sub-manager to stay with him on those occasions, did the bolting and barring but with the distinct understanding that this should be done by ten o'clock at night.

She sank into the nearest chair in the ill-lighted manager's office, and leaned her white face in her hand. "Perhaps he has been murdered already," said Adela. "Mr. Harley is very anxious about him. He can't hold them. And Dot just think of it! Warden the man we saw yesterday, the sub-manager is at their head. I saw him myself. He had a revolver in his hand. You were with Fletcher Hill.

In our letters of credit in some mysterious way the name of the sub-manager of the London and Westminster Bank had been omitted, although this was absolutely essential to the validity of the letters.

After praise of his hostelry, which, as the sub-manager said, was too good for the Essenites, I set out on my travels to see the sights of the city, foremost among them being the regulation statue of William I. It was easy to find Krupps, for I had only to turn my steps towards the lurid panorama in the sky.

"No. His uncle, Mr. Smallwood, is the general manager of our works; and Christopher has only his salary as sub-manager, and what his uncle may leave him.

"That mine is rather an abode of hate all round. But we'll clean it out one of these days, and make a decent place of it." "I hope you will succeed," she said, very earnestly. "Thank you," he said again.

Edwin was detained a long time in the shop by a sub-manager from Bostocks in Hanbridge who was waiting, and who had come about an estimate for a rather considerable order. This man desired a decrease of the estimate and an increased speed in execution. He was curt. He was one business firm offering an ultimatum to another business firm. He asked Edwin whether Edwin could decide at once.

Henry Edmunds, who so recently retired from the post of managing director, but who still holds a seat at the board, was sub-manager from the opening; and Mr. Goode, who now fills the manager's seat, went there as a clerk at the same time. The tact and energy of the manager, and the shrewd business capacity of the directors, soon secured a very large business.
