"Has he got paralysis of the right hand?" "Worse than that," Kelton answered seriously. "He's on the verge of nervous prostration." "But can't you sign a check?" "Y-e-s; but Mr. Morrow generally attends to all financial details." "Well, we'll excuse him from attending to this detail," Matt replied.
At the bank Akins gave them the directors' room, and Andrew Kelton's papers were produced from his box in the safety vault. Akins explained that Kelton had been obliged to drop life insurance policies for a considerable amount; only one policy for two thousand dollars had been carried through.
Mary, unknown to Sylvia and Professor Kelton, sometimes took counsel the privilege of her long residence in the Lane of some of the professors' wives, who would have been glad to help directly but for the increasing reserve that had latterly marked Professor Kelton's intercourse with his friends and neighbors.
And that he was not boasting now was plainly evident, both to her and Kelton. His declaration had been merely a calm announcement of a deliberate purpose. He was as natural now as he had been all along. She saw Kelton's expression change saw the incredulity go out of it, observed his face whiten a little. But his former vindictiveness remained.

Kelton pulled the neckerchief from the black's eyes, let go of its head, and scurried to the top of the corral fence. Before he could reach it Calumet had vaulted into the saddle, and before the black could realize what had happened, his feet were in the stirrups.
"I want a check and I want it now, because it is a week overdue; the vessel is nearly loaded and about to go to sea, and if I do not get my money " "Well, suppose I give you half of it now and the other half in a day or two?" Kelton suggested.
