"I was going to show you how to write a cheque. Come over to the writing-table and see how it is done." Chris went, looking mystified. "But I shall never write cheques, Trevor," she said. "No? Why not?" He drew up a chair for her and knelt down beside her. "You are a woman of property now, Chris," he said, and laid a new cheque-book on the pad in front of her. Chris gazed at it, wide-eyed.
She had not been consulted in any way; her employer had simply been told that it would not be convenient for her to attend again at the place of business, and now she was sent to live alone in grand apartments, where she would have a cheque-book and some five-pound notes to amuse herself with.
"Very strange," said I. "And now, Summers, if you will bring me my bills and a new cheque-book, we will begin to get things into order." Tales of Mystery The Lost Special
Sir, I am profoundly indebted to you for all you have said. I am, Sir, your absolute convert. The Wife. Let us lose no time, but enter the Charity Bazaar. The Ingenuous Public.

The Ingenuous Public.
Of course, I lost mi brass fifty odd pounds!" Byner gave Eldrick a glance. "I think Mr. Pickard has earned the ten pounds you offered," he said. Eldrick took the hint and pulled out his cheque-book. "Of course, you're to keep all this private strictly private, Mr. Pickard," he said as he wrote. "Not a word to a soul!" "Just as you order, sir," agreed Pickard. "I'll say nowt to nobody."
Gyp, who was sitting at her bureau, seemed to be adding up the counterfoils in her cheque-book. She did not turn round, and Fiorsen paused. How was she going to receive him? "Is there any lunch?" he said. She reached out and rang the bell. He felt sorry for himself. He had been quite ready to take her in his arms and say: "Forgive me, little Gyp; I'm sorry!" Betty answered the bell.
My piano came this morning. Care to try it?" "Rather!" said Sarah. "Well, I never saw anything like it!" This was in reference to her first glimpse of the great drawing-room. "How you've improved it, you dear thing!" "You see, I have my own cheque-book; it saves worry." "I see!" said Sarah, meaningly, putting her purse on the piano, her umbrella on a chair, and herself on the music-stool.
"How did you find out he had written the cheque?" "I suspected something after he'd gone and looked for his cheque-book. He'd torn out a form, but hadn't filled up the tab. Bob's silly when he's cunning and didn't think about his blotter. The top sheet was nearly clean and I read what he'd written, in a looking-glass." "Why did he give Wilkinson the money?"
In one pocket I carried a cheque-book, a fountain-pen, a dater, and a blotter; in another pocket I carried between one and two thousand dollars in paper money and gold. I was ready for the creditors, cash for the small ones and cheques for the large ones, and was waiting only for Roscoe to arrive with the balances of the accounts of the hundred and fifteen firms who had delayed me so many months.
On my return the squire was sour and snappish, I cheerful and complaisant; I grew cold, and he solicitous; he would drink my health with a challenge to heartiness, and I drank to him heartily and he relapsed to a fit of sulks, informing me, that in his time young men knew when they were well off, and asking me whether I was up to any young men's villanies, had any concealed debts perchance, because, if so Oh! he knew the ways of youngsters, especially when they fell into bad hands: the list of bad titles rumbled on in an underbreath like cowardly thunder: well, to cut the matter short, because, if so, his cheque-book was at my service; didn't I know that, eh?
