The drawer was quite empty. The little flat book was gone. Alicia insisted that we were living in a fairy-story, and had better enjoy every shining minute while it lasted. But, as I pointed out, the cost of restoring Hynds House was appallingly real, so real that it left a big, big hole in the bank-account.
Checks by André Loustalot on the First National Bank of El Toro aren't going to be honored for some little time. Why? I'll tell you. Because Little Mike the Hustler is going to attach his bank-account this bright April morning." She laughed happily. "You haven't wasted much time in vain regret, have you?" she teased him.
"You're not taking this matter to your lawyer, Colonel," she observed. "Certainly not!" he replied in surprise. "I've known Johnny Gamble for years, and I'd take his word for my entire bank-account." "I must confess that business ethics has me more confused than ever," laughed Constance. "You just now accused Mr. Gamble of robbing you." It was the colonel's turn to laugh.
His Bible, in which before breakfast he had been searching for a text, lay open on the side table. Behind its place on the shelf was a small skivet he had let into the wall; and in that drawer was stored something over twenty-five pounds, the third of his savings. Geake kept a bank-account, and the balance lay at interest with Messrs. Climo and Hodges, of St. Austell.
He was struck with the dramatic possibilities of the moment. Were he to decamp on the spot, he might be in time to get into the morning papers, and Frances would know with what éclat he had celebrated her wedding day. He raised his hand to signal a cab, but the driver did not see him, and ten minutes later the money had gone to swell his employers' bank-account.
But Ann and Wendell had their love; and each had a bank-account, and then they had a pride that proved a prophylactic 'gainst the clutch of oblivion. On October Twelfth, Eighteen Hundred Thirty-seven, the outlaws, Ann and Wendell, were married.

It appeared that Percival had been right in supposing that Mrs. Drelmer might be led to regard Psyche's proposal in a light entirely rational. She was reluctant, at first, it is true. "It's awfully dear of you to ask me, child, but really, I'm afraid it will be quite impossible. Oh! for reasons which you, of course, with your endless bank-account, cannot at all comprehend.
Kennedy reached over to get a cigarette from my case and light it from one that I was smoking. "That's our man, I think," he whispered "Pitts Slim." I said nothing, but I would have been willing to part with a large section of my bank-account to be up on the Chatham Square station of the Elevated just then. There was a rush from the half-open door behind us.
"He must be horrid with women," she said to Hazel, who admitted that "there have been stories a man living by himself, as he does!" And so this solution came to naught. Milly was "up against it again," as she said to herself. Her small bank-account was fast melting away. It became known among her friends that "Milly must really do something." "Your gift is people," she said flatteringly.
Suppose thou wert coming with me to-morrow hey? And to leave all thy clothes and thy clubs, thy bank-account, and thy reputation, and thy stories! Ah, thou canst not come with me, but thou wilt come after me some day, never fear. This is a journey that each man goes alone. Oh, it is easy to be a man when you are sentenced to die.
