It was not to be expected that the work would proceed without an occasional hitch, and Hamilton had one such with a firm of Italian marble-cutters in which the bookkeeping had been of so curious a character that it was next to impossible to get out the kind of figures the government wanted.
Naval officers are more hostile to 'red tape' than most men, and they may lament the vast amount of bookkeeping that modern auditors and committees of public accounts insist upon, but they are convinced that a reasonable check on expenditure of stores is indispensable to efficient organisation.
This is, however, only a detail of bookkeeping and of memory; to pay and receive, or evade, these visits of ceremony is a work which men can admire without the power to imitate; even on the supposition that a woman has nothing else to do, it calls for our humble gratitude and a recognition of the largeness of nature that can put aside any duties to husband or children in devotion to the public welfare.
And I am forced to recall some of the things such as bookkeeping in a jam factory and stoking on a tramp steamer I can understand why I and my fellows, without wanting to, drifted about in indecision till we drifted into war and drifted into peace. And of course, I've been a journalist. I am still; and so have seen much of Africa, America, and Europe, without knowing exactly why.
Laura had taken a course in bookkeeping and she was quite familiar with the business of keeping a simple set of books like these. She never let the day ledger and the cash get far apart. It was her custom to strike a balance weekly, and this she was doing at this time. Or she was trying to! But there seemed to be something entirely wrong with the cash itself.
He reflected for some minutes, pushing the movable part of his gold pencil in and out pensively as he did so. Then he wrote a number of figures on the sheet of paper and handed it to Cornish. He closed the locked ledger with a snap. The audit of the malgamite books was over. "It is a wonderful piece of single-handed bookkeeping," he said to Roden.
Where got the Jew those huge forearms? From the galleys! Had Ben Hur never pulled on the oar, he never could have won the chariot race. Sooner or later you and I are to learn that Providence makes no mistakes in the bookkeeping. As we pull on the oar, so often lashed by grim necessity, every honest effort is laid up at compound interest in the bank account of strength.
He conducted his religious bookkeeping precisely as he conducted his business bookkeeping, and was confident that he could escape hell as he had escaped the penitentiary.
Linderman, a Philadelphia Democrat, but a gentleman familiar with the service. Under him the service was organized and made systematic. When I took charge of the Treasury Department there was no system of bookkeeping and accounting, that was uniform in the various customs houses of the country.
I may not know much about bookkeeping and accounting, but I can add and two and two, when the same man but different women compose each two, do not make four, according to my arithmetic, but three, from which," she finished almost hysterically the little speech she had prepared, but it seemed to fall flat before the man's curiously altered manner "from which I shall subtract one."
