Faithful to her word she reluctantly prepared to depart, when to her dismay she found that a cheque for a large amount had been abstracted from Arthur's desk, and further search discovered that nearly every article of value had been perloined during her illness.
Hinton said she was very quiet not in the least excited but she sent back the cheque." Kate sat motionless, her head bent, her hands clasped about her knees. She no longer looked at Peyton. "Could there have been a mistake?" she asked slowly. "A mistake?" She raised her head now, and fixed her eyes on his, with a strange insistence of observation. "Could they have been married?"
But now as to settling the account with Mr. Neefit? Neefit had his own idea of what was right between gentlemen. As the reader knows, he could upon an occasion make his own views very clearly intelligible. He was neither reticent nor particularly delicate. But there was something within him which made him give the cheque to Ralph without a word about Polly.
Likewise, when he verbally guaranteed the disastrous Kakiku Ditch Scheme, at a time when the least sanguine did not dream a guarantee necessary "Signed his cheque for two hundred thousand without a quiver, gentlemen, without a quiver," was the report of the secretary of the defunct enterprise, who had been sent on the forlorn hope of finding out Ah Chun's intentions.
I just look at the amount add so much for wages, and write a cheque "live and let live!" say I. However, added he, pulling out his watch, and ringing the bell for the chambermaid, "I hate to get up very early, so I think it is time to go to bed, and I wish you a very good night, gentlemen all."

One of the objects of the colonel's visit was to reduce this number to two, the death of Solomon White having removed one of the signatories. He returned to Pinto, apparently not too well satisfied. "There's quite a lot of money in the Gang Account," he said.
"That's another of them theer dang things!" he exclaimed. "That's two I've seed this mornin'." Presently he remarked: "Yer don't smell none too sweet, Brummy. It must 'a' been jist about the middle of shearin' when yer pegged out. I wonder who got yer last cheque. Shoo! theer's another black goanner theer must be a flock of 'em."
He was a rum old miser, he was, would skin two devils for one hide; believe he has gone to hell; hope so, at any rate. He couldn't read nor write much, but he could make money better'n any man I ever heard of. Bought two runs on the Murray, and paid 180,000 pounds for 'em in one cheque.
"I have not only not gained the tontine I have lost the leather business!" Such was the monstrous fact. He had no power to sign; he could not draw a cheque for thirty shillings. Until he could produce legal evidence of his uncle's death, he was a penniless outcast and as soon as he produced it he had lost the tontine!
Depend upon it, Berkeley, I'll do anything on earth for him, if only he'll write tolerably. 'You're awfully good, Arthur said, taking the proffered cheque gratefully. 'I'm sure the money will be of great use to him: and it's very kind indeed of you to have thought of it. 'Not at all, not at all,'the editor answered, collapsing dreamily.
