As a result of this Thyrsis paid all his bank-account for a violin, and went to see a teacher. "You are too old," the teacher said. But Thyrsis answered, "I will work as no one ever worked before." "We all do that," replied the other, with a smile.
Gamble should just happen to attach his bank-account on the very day he was expected to make a deposit, and for the identical amount?" Constance asked in a puzzled way. Loring gave her a startled glance. "It does seem strange," he admitted. "It would almost seem as if these people had been informed by some one who knew Mr. Gamble's circumstances quite intimately," she went on.
But despite the excellent income he now began to make there was never anything left in the Wharton bank-account, for Bob moved his wife to a more pretentious apartment on Riverside Drive and managed to increase their expenses so as to balance his earnings very nicely.
"Perhaps, after all," said the lady, "you are mistaken as to his wealth." "Impossible," exclaimed the other. "Mark how he lives. Have I not seen his bank-account?

"I wonder what you would do," she observed, "if mother just lay around all day, and had her hair done, and got new clothes, and never thought a thought of her own, and just used you as a sort of walking bank-account?" "My dear, I really can not " "I'll tell you what you'd do," she persisted. "You'd fall in love with somebody else, probably.
"She has no imagination." "But Dicky's a beast " "With a fat bank-account." "Money wouldn't count with Madge." "I'm not so sure " "Women are not like that, MacDonald."

He took her remonstrance with his usual disarming grace, and left her to forward the liberating draft, though her delicacy had provided him with a bank-account which assured his personal independence. Lizzie had discharged the duty without repugnance, since she knewthat his delegating it to her was the result of his good-humored indolence and not of any design on her exchequer.
But Strickland took long counsel with his wife, and she with the cheque-book and their lean bank-account, and they decided that Adam must go "home" to his aunts. But England is not home to a child that has been born in India, and it never becomes home-like unless he spends all his youth there.
