The crisis which, a few hours before, seemed to him a chaos, an eddying whirl in which he could see nothing distinctly and whose very confusion was a source of hope, appeared to him at that moment with appalling distinctness. An empty cash-box, closed doors, notes protested, ruin, are the phantoms he saw whichever way he turned.
Reaching under the rear corner of the mats, he drew forth a large cash-box. Grief noted and wondered that it was not locked. The Samoan had always been fastidiously cautious in guarding cash. The box seemed filled with paper money. He skinned off the top note and passed it over. "There is the answer." Grief glanced at a fairly well executed banknote.
Ivan took the three rolls of notes and put them in his pocket without wrapping them in anything. “I shall show them at the court to-morrow,” he said. “Nobody will believe you, as you’ve plenty of money of your own; you may simply have taken it out of your cash-box and brought it to the court.” Ivan rose from his seat.
The cash-box combination offered less difficulty than had the outer dial. Maitland had it open in a twinkling. Then, brazenly lifting out the inner framework, bodily, he thrust a fumbling hand into the aperture thus disclosed and pressed the spring, releasing the panel at the back.

"On the contrary, it is very sensible." "But why? Why?" "Why? I will tell you. The list of the Twenty-seven, as we know for absolutely certain, was written on a sheet of letter-paper belonging to the chairman of the Canal Company, of which there are a few samples in this cash-box.
When I am ready, you won't have to discharge me. Upon what terms can I stay?" "I've stated them," said the one who was angry. "Discharge your trust; make good in dollars and cents, or show cause why you were caught with an empty cash-box." For the first time in the interview the chief clerk switched the stare of the gloomy eyes from the memorandum desk calendar, and fixed it upon his accuser.
Ringfield, what it means, and our young lady in front there has learnt in a bitter school the value of money. Cassette cassette cash-box; you will see, if she ever settles down, it will be, as our friend Poussette says, for the money."
Pardon me, my God, pardon me, I beseech Thee, and receive the vow that I make never to fall into the same fault again.
