I'll send you the stock certificates we put them at par. I'm attending to that myself, as our secretary, Mr. Madison, is unable to take up his duties." Vilas took a cheque-book and a fountain-pen from his pocket. "Oh, any time, any time," said Corliss cheerfully, observing the new investor's movement. "Now, I think," returned Vilas quietly. "How shall I make it out?"
It is so long since I was able to go and see you." "I have been, and am very well very busy, and really succeeding. I have opened a banking account, and feel very proud of my cheque-book. Do you know that Mr. Newton has advanced me two hundred pounds? Just now it is worth a thousand, it lifts me over the waiting time.
Here he took a cheque-book from his letter-case and spread it out on the little table in the tent, on which there were ink and a pen, adding "Now, Mr. Quatermain, will it meet your views if I fill this up for #250?" "No," I answered; "taking everything into consideration the sum is excessive.

"That's just like you, Mr. Horn," said the minister, with glistening eyes. He was a straightforward man, and transparent as glass.
Could you lend me a hundred pounds? There's a good chap." Rupert and I looked at each other in an ironical silence. Basil, who was sitting by his desk, swung the chair round idly on its screw and picked up a quill-pen. "Shall I cross it?" he asked, opening a cheque-book.
His eyes were turned gravely upon her, but there was a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. "No," he said in his abrupt fashion. "That isn't in the plan. Good-bye to the rest of the world if you will, but never again to you!" He drew close to her and gently took the cheque-book out of her grasp. "I want you to come with me, Naomi," he said very tenderly. "My darling, will you come?
I hurried out with my three books of notes, my cheque-book the tramp has them now and directed them from the nearest Post Office to a house of call for letters and parcels in Great Portland Street. I tried to go out noiselessly. Coming in, I found my landlord going quietly upstairs; he had heard the door close, I suppose.

When there he stripped himself of his hunting things, and dressed himself again with all the expedition in his power; and then he threw a heap of clothes into a large portmanteau, and set himself to work packing as though everything in the world were to depend upon his catching a certain train. And he went to a locked drawer, and taking out a cheque-book, folded it up and put it into his pocket.
Brown rose from his chair, bent over him, remained poised above his shoulder for a few moments. Then he coolly took the key from McKay's overcoat pocket and very deftly continued the search, in spite of the drowsy restlessness of the other. But there were no papers, no keys, only a cheque-book and a wallet packed with new banknotes and some foreign gold and silver.
