"These are the people," said the Admiral, twisting round his paper, and pointing to the advertisement which had seemed to him the most promising. "It sounds honest and above-board, does it not? The personal interview looks as if there were no trickery, and then no one could object to five per cent." "No, it seems fair enough."
And though I thought it right to be above-board, and let you know where the danger lies, yet one thing I can promise, if I resign, you shall come in; so shake hands on it." RANDAL. "My dear Avenel! And your wish is to resign?" DICK. "Certainly. I should do so a little time after noon, contriving to be below Leonard on the poll.
"And when you have found him will you point out to him that in the future he must be open and above-board, or something disagreeable will be done to him?" Mr. West bowed humbly. "How long," she asked, "will it take you to run the creature down?"
