"I think, Admiral," remarked Westmacott, "that we had better have a little walk and some luncheon before we settle this matter." "Oh, we may as well do it at once.
"I've always said, sir, that it was a great mistake to leave loose money lying about," he remarked mournfully. "If there'd only been a practice of letting me lock anything of that sort up in the safe every night and this chequebook, too, sir then " "I know I know!" said Eldrick. "Very reprehensible on my part I'm afraid I am careless no doubt of it. But "

"I had to go a little above the estimate. I got the express wagons and cabs mostly for $5; but the trucks and two-horse teams mostly raised me to $10. The motormen wanted $10, and some of the loaded teams $20.
"I'll leave you a clear two hundred for yourself and the kids that's all right, isn't it? Two hundred, and you won't have my enormous appetite to cater for!
