There is a little village on the north bank's promontory, and, at the end of each, huge monoliths rise from the water, making what looks like a gateway which had once been barred and through which the Ogowe had burst.
The dishonest clerk had employed several methods in his operations; but the particular incident read Auntie Sue which had led to the exposure of Kent's stealings was the theft of a small sum of money in bank-notes, which had been sent to the bank in a letter by one of the bank's smaller depositors. The newspaper fell from Auntie Sue's hand. Mechanically, she fingered the garment lying in her lap.
What, for example, can seem more distinct from a man than his banker or his solicitor? Yet these are commonly so much parts of him that he can no more cut them off and grow new ones, than he can grow new legs or arms; neither must he wound his solicitor; a wound in the solicitor is a very serious thing. As for his bank failure of his bank's action may be as fatal to a man as failure of his heart.
But he has pointed out nothing, he has suggested nothing; he contents himself with saying, without giving any reason, that, if the pressure be heavy, the fault will be the bank's. I hope this is not merely an attempt to forestall opinion, and to throw on the bank the responsibility of those evils which threaten the country, for the sake of removing it from himself.
Then, in a place where the river seemed to come to an end, the Pipe of Peace drew close, in under the western shore, to a landing. Buildings of grey stone clustered and looked over the bank.

He has given up everything to the bank's creditors, and will pass through the bankruptcy court.
Prescott said they ought to get away with enough more to make the bank's loss a million. He thought that would make them see what was the wise thing to do. Prescott also said he would try to get a lawyer who could bring some pressure to bear on the officials of the company. It would be a rather unpleasant situation to have brought to the attention of the State Superintendent of Banking.
Hold on to your bank stock and arrange to have all mortgages in the name of the bank, not in your own. They pay taxes on their capital and surplus, not on their loans. But be sure to get a written acknowledgment on each mortgage from Osborne. He's square, but you can't ever tell what changes might take place and then there might be some question about mortgages in the bank's name."
The three directors greeted this remark with exclamations of genuine relief. "Sure! Let's adjourn put it over until " one of them began, but the bank's president was bellowing in rising fury at the interlopers: "Get out! Get out of my office, d'you hear? Get out " "Looks to me like it's my office," Gus Briskow said, quietly, "or it will be, directly. You, Bell, put on the muffler!
At this juncture, the door to an adjoining room was thrown open and the bank's president stood revealed.
