Here there was no honour, even amongst thieves. And young gentlemen were hurried through Eton and Oxford, where they learned to drink and swear and to call a main as well as to play tennis and billiards and to write Latin, and were thrust into Brooks's before they knew the difference in value between a farthing and a banknote: at nineteen they were hardened rake, or accomplished men of the world, or both.
"I haven't had my supper yet," Prescott smiled. "Neither has Darrin." "Bless me! What a brute I am to forget a boy's stomach!" cried the tall one. "Here," taking a banknote from his pocket, "I will have the chauffeur drive you back to town and then return for us. Take this money and get the best supper you can for two, at the best restaurant in Gridley."
She cried over the letter, the proud head drooped over it; bright tears streamed from the grey eyes. Could Hugh Alston have seen her now, her face softened by the gladness and the gratitude that had come to her, he would have seen in her the woman of his dreams. The banknote would clear everything. She did not scruple to accept it in the spirit of affection in which it was offered.
The young man was so absorbed in his examination of the twenty-five ruble note that when a gentle knock sounded on the door he started nervously, as if coming back to himself, and even grew pale, and hurriedly crushed the banknote into his pocket. The knock was repeated and this time Bodlevski's face lit up.
A false ghost disproves the reality of ghosts exactly as much as a forged banknote disproves the existence of the Bank of England if anything, it proves its existence.

They thought that to grow in refinement and uncorporeality was to grow in virtue.
Camp desired to exchange a banknote, say ten or twenty dollars, perhaps, for smaller bills, for convenience at the Fair, etc. The man of the badge looked closely at Farmer Camp, who was bowing like a mandarin, and then back at his spouse. 'You can vouch for this person? he asked with a touch of severity, and in excellent English.
And I took his advice and put the revolver away, secretly relieved to get rid of it. It was quite heavy to carry around. I had letters to the Danish Consul and to the president of the American Banknote Company, Mr. Goodall. I think perhaps he was not then the president, but became so afterward. Mr.
"We had good reason to believe it was hidden there!" replied Sandy. "We found a burned ten dollar banknote there just after a dynamite explosion had taken place." "That would naturally lead to the supposition that the money had been hidden there!" Mr. Buck exclaimed. "Come to think of it," Sandy went on, "I believe that was one of Ventner's tricks.
And instead of explaining further, he drew the banknote from his pocket and showed it to Natasha. "This morning the master paid me, and I am keeping the money," he continued in a low voice, tilting back his chair. "I pay neither for my rooms nor my shop, but sit here and study all the time." "It's so well worth while, isn't it?" smiled Natasha with a contemptuous grimace.
"A banknote for five hundred francs!" exclaimed Rose, with extreme surprise. Paul did not utter a word. Had he seen the woodwork of the chair upon which he was leaning burst into flower and leaf, he could not have looked more surprised. Who could have expected to find such a sum concealed beneath the old man's tatters, and how could he have obtained so much money?
