"Mi Why er yours, of course!" "Well, will you go to the island?" "No, I will not." "Then you don't get a cent more from me. You've overdrawn your bank-account already." "How do you know? You haven't been down to the bank." "You don't suppose I'd have a monthly check deposited to your account without arranging to know something about it, do you? Mighty poor business man if I did!
He relieved him of all anxiety about his married life in the same manner in which he relieved him on the score of his bank-account. And as he performed the latter office by communicating with the bankers, so the former sprang as directly from his good understanding with his daughter.
She didn't waste a penny. On the contrary, she began to get miserly as her bank-account grew. She grieved to part with a cent, poor creature, for twice in her hard-working life she had known what it was to be hungry, cold, friendless, sick, and without a dollar in the world, and she had a haunting dread of suffering so again.
So, as your adopted brother, I'm going to start a bank-account for you," he ended, simply. "Indeed you are not!" "Indeed I am!" "I agreed to live. I did not agree to what is it you Americans say? to sponge!" He ignored all but one phrase of the reply. "What do you mean by that?" he demanded with quickened interest. "Aren't you an American?" She bit her lip. "N-o not wholly." "What, then?"
These poor fishermen are not rich, as I have said; a dollar looks to them as big as a dinner-plate to us, and a moderately flush Wall-Street man might buy out the whole Cape and not overdraw his bank-account. Also, they have but little book-learning among them, reading chiefly their Bible, Bowditch, and Nautical Almanac, and leaving theology mostly to the parson, on shore, who is paid for it.
Tuskegee's germ principle is to be found in its unboasted ideals, in the things that of necessity can not be listed in catalogue or report, rather than in its buildings, shops, farms, and what not. The school dwells upon the saving power of land, and learning, and skill, and a bank-account not as finalities in themselves, but as tangible witnesses to the Negro's capacity to compete with others.
Profoundly did that chief gaze at his bundle of quills on receiving them from Lumley after Salamander had swept his furs into a corner. He was studying, as it were, the credit balance of his bank-account before investing. "Now then, chief," asked Lumley, with an urbane expression of countenance, "what shall I give you?"
I don't blame you for considering me a fine catch or for marrying me. You see, I never expected to find a girl who'd take me for anything except my money, so I'm not offended or disappointed or surprised. A bank-account looms up just as big on Fifth Avenue as it does on Amsterdam, and there aren't any more love matches over there than elsewhere.
I have a new dinner-gown which clamors for corals, and my bank-account is strained, and I could buy none equal to those of yours, anyway." "Oh, I do not object," said Jane Carew; still she looked aghast. Viola Longstreet shrieked with laughter. "Oh, I know. You think the corals too young for me. You have not worn them since you left off dotted muslin.
The secretary was so sleepy that she tried to keep her eyes open by agitating the lids violently. The maid was trying to keep from falling forward across her mistress's insteps and sleeping there. But Charity was wide-awake wild awake. Her soul was not in her dictation, but in her features, which she studied in the mirror as a rich man studies his bank-account.
