Macdougal, will you kindly call an officer?" Hawkins wilted at that. His checkbook came forth, and the string of figures he was compelled to write made my heart bleed. When he had exchanged the slip for a receipt, Hawkins and I made for the side door and slunk out into the night.
Let me tell you what happened to me once. I put a little money into a bank, and bought a checkbook, so that I might draw it as I wanted, in sums to suit.
I remember yet the awe with which the rest of us, hoarding our last nickels at the end of the long and billful year, took a peep at the balance in his checkbook and touched him humbly for advances, great and small.
Write out the check and I'll be on my way." "No, indeed!" cried Mary, "don't you let him fleece you! I've got something to say here, myself!" "Well, say it to him, then," returned Rimrock, wearily, "I'm sick and disgusted with the whole business." "Yes, naturally," observed Stoddard, reaching into his pocket and deliberately pulling out his checkbook.
She had been Virginia Grey, and scarce had had a gown to her back when she had married the elderly Duncan Hayden, who had built her this house and presented her with a checkbook, a check-book which Virginia believed to be like the widow's cruse of oil-unfailing.
The sea be hanged, and the wind be blowed! When I see your talent and energy, and hold your checkbook in my hand and your instructions in my pocket, I feel to play at football with the world. When shall I start?" "To-morrow morning." "To-night, if you like. Where am I to go to?" "To AUSTRALIA!" That single word suspended the glass going to Crawley's lips, and the chuckle coming from them.

"In the lobby the furniture was covered with men about town, who sat around with a checkbook in each hand and made faces at the cash registers. "There are more bellboys than bedrooms in the hotel. They use them for change.
Meantime, I hope you'll permit us to leave with you a little expression of our appreciation of your real kindness to our darling, and our gratitude at her recovery." A few whispered words passed between the two gentlemen, and then, after a moment's manipulation of his fountain pen and checkbook, Mr. Bryant handed to old Zeb Geary a slip of paper that took his breath away.
"Oh, no, you won't, Daddy," she said. "You never stop anything." She turned to go. Captain Dan sat, speechless in his chair, staring at the bills, the figures, the checkbook, and the prospect of the poorhouse. Then he felt her hand upon his shoulder. "Never mind, Daddy, dear," she said softly. "I wouldn't worry any more, if I were you.
When he had told her of the talk in the restaurant she sat with the checkbook lying before her and with the puzzled look still in her eyes. Without giving her time for comment, Sam plunged into the midst of what had been in his mind to say to her.
