For some seconds Lewisham could not get away from stupid repetitions of his inquiry. Then he hit upon a collateral proof. "But look here! Can you see this counterfoil?" "Plainly," said Lagune. "Can you read the number?" "Five thousand two hundred and seventy-nine." "Well, and this?" "Five thousand two hundred and eighty-one." "Well where's five thousand two hundred and eighty?"
Idly I picked up the cheque-book and absently fingered the leaves then my eye caught a counterfoil where I had chanced to open it. It was not in Miss Sharp's handwriting, although this was the house cheque-book which Burton usually keeps, but in my own and there was written, just casually as I scribble in my private account.
Most big business concerns supply rest rooms, eating places, recreation camps, and all manner of comforts for their employees, and most of them maintain welfare departments. No business house under heaven could take the place of a home, but where the home influence is bad the best counterfoil is a wholesome atmosphere in which to work.
"Do I pay you?" asked Yeovil, feeling almost inclined to laugh; "I'm rather a stranger to the new order of things." "You pay me," said the policeman, "and you receive a quittance for the sum paid," and he proceeded to tear a counterfoil receipt for a three shilling fine from a small pocket book.
Lagune began to look uncomfortable. "Surely," he said, "he has not Will you read it out the cheque, the counterfoil I mean, that I am unable to see?" "It's blank," said Lewisham with an irresistible grin. "Surely," said Lagune, and the discomfort of his expression deepened. "Do you mind if I call in a servant to confirm ?"
"I understand still less." She took from the writing-table her cheque-book, and handed it to him. He looked at it, and read the counterfoil of the cheque she had given to Alice Tynemouth. He was bewildered. "What does this mean?" he asked. "It is for a hospital-ship." "Sixty thousand pounds! Why, it is nearly all you have." "It is two-thirds of what I have." "Why in God's name, why?"
Wells one of the beast folk; while the murderous henchman, Ricardo, is unpleasantly put before us. I like the girl; it would have been so easy to spoil her with moralising; but the Baron is the magnet, and, as a counterfoil, the diabolical German hotel keeper. There is too much arbitrary handling at the close for my taste. Only in the opening chapters of Victory does Mr.
"And of course you issue these tickets on their paper I've seen 'em before. You fill up particulars on a form and a counterfoil, don't you? And you send a copy of those particulars to the Royal Atlantic offices at Liverpool?" Murgatroyd nodded silently this was much more than he bargained for, and he did not know how much further it was going. And Prydale gave him a sudden searching look.
He handed back the book to Lagune, open at the blank counterfoil of a cheque that had been removed. Lagune stared and passed his hand over his forehead in a confused way. "I can't see this," he said. Lewisham had never heard of post hypnotic suggestion and he stood incredulous. "You can't see that?" he said. "What nonsense!" "I can't see it," repeated Lagune.
Just fancy having to consult the identical dentist that he consults simultaneously! It'd drive ME mad. Why, it's clean rideeklous!" Guy Waring looked up hastily from the telegraph form he was already filling in, and answered, with some warmth "No, no; not quite so. It isn't like that. You mistake the situation. We're both cheques equally, and neither is a counterfoil.
