Then he made a memoranda of it in his pocket cash-book, and sighed again. Several times after this Lieutenant Larson had to have more money or, at least, he said he needed it, and Uncle Ezra brought it forth with many sighs and groans. But he "gave up." To give Larson credit, he had really produced a good aircraft.
For example: If there appears to be more money in the cash than there is by the balance in the cash-book, this must follow namely, that some parcel of money must have been received, which is not entered in the book; now, till the tradesman knows what sum of money this is, that is thus not entered, how can he tell but the mistake may be quite the other way, and the cash be really wrong to his loss?
Maldon's party, after signing a cheque and before handing it to Louis, he had somewhat lengthily consulted his private cash-book, and, as he handed over the cheque, had said: "Let's have a squint at the petty-cash book to-morrow morning, Louis."

Edwin was familiar with every detail of the printer's work-book, the daybook, the combined book colloquially called `invoice and ledger, the `bought' ledger, and the shop cash-book. But he could form no sure idea of the total dimensions and results of the business, because his father always kept the ultimate castings to himself, and never displayed his private cash-book under any circumstances.
