"Cash down on the spot, guv'nor?" he asked. "Spot cash," replied Triffitt. "On this table!" "Well how would a couple o' fivers be, now?" asked the anxious one. "It's good stuff, guv'nor." "A couple of fivers will do," answered Triffitt. "And here they are." He took two brand-new, crackling five-pound notes from his pocket, folded them up, laid them on the table, and set a glass on them.
Yesterday morning, when I took my hat from the rail, I found in one of my gloves a note containing a five-pound note, and the following words: "Two pounds for the orphans, the rest for dear brother and sister Müller." There came in still further yesterday two pounds twelve shillings sixpence. Thus we are again supplied for about three days.
When his servant left the room Noel took a five-pound note out of his pocket, and enclosing it in an open envelope laid it carelessly on the chimney-piece. There was no writing on the envelope, and the note might well have been slipped into it by mistake.
"I thought you'd like to make a few arrangements in the meantime." He held out his hand, and the young man, who did not mistake the gesture, dived into his pockets with a scowl and handed four five-pound notes into the outstretched palm. "It will just pay my taxi," said Crawley light-heartedly. The other went upstairs. He found the girl sitting where he had left her in her bedroom.
Ida, left alone amidst all the fascinations of the chief shop in a smart county town, and feeling herself a Croesus, had much need of fortitude and coolness of temper. Happily she remembered what a little way that five-pound note had gone in preparing her for her summer visit to The Knoll, and this brought wisdom.
A question was next put to him as to the nail, but he secured quite stupefied, muttering: 'Good heavens! the cloak you mean to say you saw that cloak? They searched his person- found on him some sovereigns, silver, and one bank-note for five pounds. The number on that bank-note corresponded with a number in Gunston's pocket-book. He was asked to say where he got that five-pound note.
Weatherley produced a five-pound note. "You can't go into those sort of places without money in your pocket," he continued. "You can account to me for the change later, but don't spare yourself. Have as good a lunch as you can eat. The restaurant is the Milan Grill Room on the Strand the café, mind, not the main restaurant. You know where it is?" "Quite well, sir, thank you." Mr.
He couldn't tell her she was a sort of a sister of his, for he didn't want her for a sister. He puzzled over that question whenever he had time, which wasn't often, because he was so busy and so happy every minute. Then there were great five-pound boxes of chocolates, glacéd nuts and bonbons, and a crate of foreign fruits, with nuts, raisins, figs, and dates.
When she had gone he stood listening with his head on one side; then he opened his hand and looked with a cunning smile at the five-pound note which had been tightly grasped in it. "She didn't see it; no, she didn't see it!" he muttered; and he went stealthily to the bed and thrust it under the pillow.
Thereon he fell to thinking of that time which was impressed upon his memory partly because there was a great disturbance in the house about a missing five-pound note and partly because it was while he had the scarlet fever.
