When ten years of age Charles was taken from school and hired out as an office-boy at five shillings a week, the money being paid to the father and duly used for the support of the family. It is good to see, though, that at that early day the expense-account was made to serve its legitimate use. When the boy had bundles to deliver and was given money for 'bus-fare, he walked and kept the fare.
If the ventilation was bad, and he could not get the windows open, he would break them out. If you questioned his balance-sheet he would the next day flash up an expense-account that looked like a plumber's bill and give you fifty cents as your share of the spoils. At hotels he always got a room with two beds, if possible.
He rose with an air of great content and went around to the front in search of provisions. Presently he spoke aloud: "And as I ain't asked nothing for myself since I run off from home I guess God won't mind putting the little girl on my expense-account."
So write the girls in Melvil Dewey's Academy for Librarians, at Albany God bless them all! they all write like Dewey. Thomas Gainsborough at London seems to have haunted the theaters and coffeehouses, and whenever there were pictures displayed, there was Thomas to be found. To help out the expense-account, he worked at engraving and made designs for a silversmith.
In his journal, he says, "presented her a Blanket and a Bottle of Rum, which latter was thought the much best Present of the 2." In his expense-account we find items like these: "Treating the ladys 2 shillings." "Present for Polly 5 shillings." "My share for Music at the Dance 3 shillings." "Lost at Loo 5 shillings." In fact, like most Episcopalians, Washington danced and played cards.
Only news syndicates could stand the expense-account of a field man in Lunar City. And then there were Jones and Dabney and two other figures apparently brought by Dabney. There was, of course, no sound at all on the moon itself. There was no air to carry it.
'It'll cost you seven bucks a day, friend, he says. "Well, it was late, and anyway, it went down on my expense-account gosh, if I'd been paying it instead of the firm, I'd 'a' tramped the streets all night before I'd 'a' let any hick tavern stick me seven great big round dollars, believe me! So I lets it go at that.
The man had married for a home he got it. When he wanted funds for himself, he was given dole, or else was put to the necessity of juggling the Expense-Account. If he wished to invite friends to his home, he had to prove them standard-bred, morally sound in wind and limb, and free from fault or blemish.
Hill's experience would seem to prove that life after all is a sequence, and the man who does great work has long been in training for it. There are two ways for a traveling-man to make money: one is to sell the goods, and the other is to work the expense-account.
There is more good honest velvet in an Expense-Account than in the Stock Exchange, which true saying has nothing to do with Abbey. At the "Centennial" Abbey discovered the Arthurian Legend fell over it, just as William Morris fell over the Icelandic Sagas when past fifty.
