But the fool clerks they have down there have the most insane idea about express, and every little while will shove something like this in on us." "Can't you charge it back?" "D -d if I don't!" He went into the office and ordered the book-keeper to charge up the difference. I could sympathize with him.
At the moment of following their example it was half-past nine already he remembered he had a rather large sum of money in his pocket-book. He entered, therefore, the office and deposited the greater part of it with the book-keeper of the hotel. This done, he took a carozella and drove to the seashore. He got out of the cab and entered the Villa on foot from the Largo di Vittoria end.
Winny was clever, and she had a berth as book-keeper in Starker's, one of the smaller drapers' shops in Oxford Street, near Woolridge's. Her position was as good as his, yet she only earned five pounds a month to his eight. And he hated to think of Winny working, anyway. "Winny," he said, suddenly, "do you like book-keeping?" "Of course I do," said Winny.
He came back again with a slower step, and resumed his former attitude, saying: "I thought you had emigrated to America?" "We did. But life went ill with us there, and we came back." "Do you live in this town?" "Yes. I am a daily teacher of music here. My husband is a book-keeper." "Are you forgive my asking poor?" "We earn enough for our wants. That is not our distress.
"But," said the old man, "my books were declared to be perfect; I was complimented on my books; I was proud of them books." "Great Scott! the brother as sub-editor, the father as book-keeper, the sister as wife it would be difficult to imagine anything more complete. I'm sorry for the paper, though; and my series, what a hash they'll make of it!"
"You're an impudent boy," said the book-keeper, provoked. He wanted to overawe Dick; but somehow Dick wouldn't be overawed. Evidently he did not entertain as much respect for the book-keeper as that gentleman felt to be his due. That a mere errand-boy should bandy words with a gentleman in his position seemed to Mr. Gilbert highly reprehensible.
Richling rallied to his defences. "I think I could make a good book-keeper, or correspondent, or cashier, or any such" The Doctor interrupted, with the back of his head toward his listener, looking this time up the street, riverward: "Yes; or a shoe, or a barrel, h-m-m?" Richling bent forward with the frown of defective hearing, and the physician raised his voice: "Or a cart-wheel or a coat?"
She took up her gloves and hand-bag and went downstairs, entering the broad, airy flower-bordered lounge of the Plaza with a friendly nod and smile to the book-keeper in the office where she paid her bill. Her chauffeur, a smart Frenchman in quiet livery, was awaiting her with an assistant groom or page beside him. "We go on to-day, Madame?" he enquired.
"Thank God, he has gone!" thinks the singer. "Now I can sleep." And as she falls asleep she thinks of her mari d'elle, what sort of a man he is, and how this affliction has come upon her. At one time he used to live at Tchernigov, and had a situation there as a book-keeper.
For greater convenience moneys are also deposited at certain designated banks. Secretary Windom, however, began rapidly removing such deposits from the banks and announced his intention to cease the placing of deposits with any bank. The Register of the Treasury is the official book-keeper of the United States.
