That the uninitiated reader may form some practical conception of my meaning, I propose to set down a few items from the weekly contents of a compositor's "bill-book," slightly enlarging his brief entries with the view of rendering them the more intelligible.
A moment later, Elmer came out of the passage with a bill-book of good size in his hand. He lifted the book gaily as he entered the illumination. "I'll bet he's got the money!" exclaimed Tommy. "Sure he has!" replied Will, and Elmer nodded. The voices of Carson and Buck again came roaring up from below. "Why don't you lower the cage?" Carson shouted.
Broona was planning her future life when we were walking together yesterday. Jackeen is to be 'an engineer, by the sea, so it seems, and Broona is to be a farmer's wife with a tiny red bill-book like Mrs. Colquhoun's.
I advise you not to commit murder without special orders, do you understand?" "It is the custom of the country," assented Oscar, in a tone of deep regret. "To be sure," laughed Armitage; "and now I am going to give you money enough to carry out the project I have indicated." He took from his trunk a long bill-book, counted out twenty new one-hundred-dollar bills and threw them on the table.
He was poring over his bill-book, one day, when the man he had thought of far more frequently than was pleasant to him, came in. Mr. Tompkins felt uneasy. "Ah how do you do, Mr. Wolford?" said he, affecting a pleased air. "Sit down." Wolford looked grave. He had come on business, and to him business matters were of serious import.
As he looked closely at the fresh and new bank bill of the denomination of five dollars, Hugh saw that it had only three distinct creases marked across its face, as though it might have been taken from some flat receptacle like a bill-book; certainly when Brother Lu declared that he had such a bill tied up in his bandanna handkerchief he prevaricated, for it would under such conditions have been crumpled instead of looking so smooth!
Nobody's stroke in the wood is so regular and strong as his." "And I can tell you he is the handiest man at home," began his wife. "Ah, ah," said the old man, smiling at her eagerness; "and here he comes, if I am not mistaken." At that moment the woodman entered. "Will," said his wife, as she took his bill-book from him, and hung up his hat, "here's an old soldier come to sup with us, my dear."
You might inquire at Lloyd's. Direct her there, Mr. Penfold, and bring me my letters." With this he entered his inner office, sat down, took out a golden key, opened the portrait of Helen, gazed at it, kissed it, uttered a deep sigh, and prepared to face the troubles of the day. Penfold brought in a leathern case, like an enormous bill-book.
A thief took my bill-book containing invaluable data I had just received from my agent in China giving me a clue to porcelains, sir, such as you never dreamed of! Some more of your work Don't you contradict me! You don't contradict me! Roger, he doesn't contradict me!" Wilton, choking with indignation at this new onslaught, was unable to contradict him.
I am acting under orders." The horseman thrust his hand into the inside pocket of his jacket, and pulling out a bill-book took from it a paper which he opened and handed to Bob to read. "If you are acting under orders I have no more to say," said he, "but there is something which I think will see me through until day after to-morrow. It is my furlough.
