Brander was the holder of a mortgage for £15,000 on your father's estate. I looked into the matter very closely, as it came as a surprise upon us. Everything was in proper order. Mr. Brander's bank-book showed that he drew out £15,000 on the date of the mortgage, and the books of the bank confirm his book.
"You believe in nothing but your dinner, your bank-book, and your Bible, auntie; I declare it's perfectly shocking," he said to her one day. "And a very good creed too," she replied; "it wouldn't be a bad thing for you either, if you had a little more sound religion and practical common-sense."
To read ror pastime while a great city is filled with his obsequies he cannot do it! There is but one course to read the rules, to study the history of the door until it reaches the stage of suicide ah! to feel in one's pockets! That is it! That is it! David Lockwin cons his bank-book. He opens his worn letters -letters to the Hon. David Lockwin.
"Was the drawer locked?" she asked. "Yes." "Then it couldn't have been Bridget. I don't think she has any keys." "She wouldn't know what a bank-book was," said Fosdick. "You didn't see any of the lodgers go into our room to-day, did you?" "I shouldn't wonder if it was Jim Travis," said Mrs. Mooney, suddenly.
There were many matters of detail to talk over, and Clayton hastened his return to the office to deposit his bank-book in order to be free to give the afternoon to his departing friend. "I've only my office desk to clear up; it's a short horse and soon curried," laughed Ferris. "I'll run over to my place and then meet you at our rooms, so you can see the last of me.
She's got the bank-book, and every week that I can squeeze out above expenses, she sees the entry for herself. I'll get her back. There's a way lying around somewhere. God knows why she should eat out her heart to go back but she wants it. God, how she wants it!" "Poor old dame!" "You boys guy me with my close-fisted buying these last two years.
The names of banks were so absurdly alike one never could tell. Presently she went over to her suit-case, rummaged in it, and produced a little bank-book. Then she dropped the book and the newspaper together into her bag and shut it. She smiled a little cynically.
Without Haney's bank-book she would have been merely one of those minute insects who timidly sought to cross the street, and yet philosophers marvel at the race men make for gold!
I don't say it ain't all right to kid her along, but when it comes to to keeping me out of the the biggest thing that can happen to a girl when gramaw wouldn't know the difference if you keep showing her the bank-book it ain't right. That's what it ain't. It ain't right!"
Having agreed to give further assistance to Tom Wilkins, he was naturally led to go to the drawer where he and Fosdick kept their bank-books. To his surprise and uneasiness the drawer proved to be empty! "Come here a minute, Fosdick," he said. "What's the matter, Dick?" "I can't find my bank-book, nor yours either. What's 'come of them?"
