"But I'd like it better than anything," he said. "I didn't come to New Orleans to see the sights, anyhow. I'll feel down and out if you won't let me help. 'Twill seem as if I'd managed wrong in New York." "Oh, if you're going to feel like that!" And forthwith Angela told him the story of her loss. "All your money and a check-book full of blank checks!" he echoed. "Yes.
"No," said the astounded Mr. Balch. He scratched his head and fingered the leaves of his check-book. The captains over the tens and the captains over the hundreds would want little retainers and who was to pay these? "How about the boys?" asked Mr. Balch. "S-still got the same office in the depot hain't you, Ed, s-same office?" "Yes." "G-guess the boys hev b'en there before," said Jethro. Mr.
"Let me send twenty-five dollars, too!" Dick cried, whipping out a check-book. Dr. Howe protested, but Mr. Forsythe insisted that it was a great pleasure. "Don't you see," he explained, smiling, "if Mrs. Ward will spend some money for me, it will make my conscience easy for a month; for, to tell you the truth, doctor, I don't think about poor people any more than I can help; it's too unpleasant.
The colonel whipped out his check-book and began to write. "It's as old Saunders said," he muttered as he wrote. "And we've got to rope, throw, and tie that one steer." The check was for five thousand dollars! Young Dodd seized it, and when his uncle hurried back upon the stage the nephew, through the door which was left open, beckoned to Mullaney.
Why should I treat you differently from any other member of the staff?" John had a feeling that the interview was being taken at too rapid a pace. He felt confused. "I don't want you to treat me differently," he said. Mr. Westley did not reply. John saw that he had taken a check-book from its pigeonhole. "I think we understand each other," said Mr. Westley. "There is no need for any discussion.
"Apparently not. There is a list here of his possessions. His purse contained two pounds fifteen. He had also a check-book on the Woolwich branch of the Capital and Counties Bank. Through this his identity was established. There were also two dress-circle tickets for the Woolwich Theatre, dated for that very evening. Also a small packet of technical papers."
"Robert, have you your check-book here?" Thornton shook his head. "No, dear," he said. "I'm afraid I haven't." "Well, it doesn't matter," said Mrs. Thornton brightly. "You can use one of Mr. Madison's checks and write the name of your own bank on it you've often done that, you know." "A suggestion," said Madison to himself, "for which I thank you, Mrs.
"You're not a crowned head or an escaped princess or anything of that kind, are you?" he asked politely. This time she really laughed, a soft, low gurgle of laughter, joyous and contagious. "No." "Then let's get back to our bank-account. We have plenty of time to run over to the Fifth Avenue branch of the Corn Exchange Bank before the closing-hour. What color of check-book do you prefer?"
An account like this, the chances were, would not be worth much anyway. He could explain the whole matter to Dunham when he got back. "All right, Mr. Rock," he said at length. "If you want to buy the claim outright, you can have it. I won't assign." Rock reached for his check-book. A few moments later saw the deal closed.
There is my check-book signed in blank, and I authorise you to use it up to a billion dollars, and I agree to have in bank to-morrow sufficient funds to meet any checks you draw. You have failed to-day for seven millions, and, therefore, cannot trade, but I herewith announce that I will pay all the indebtedness of Barry Conant and his house. Therefore he is now in good standing."
