A few men of business burned their day-books and ledgers, the notes and obligations of their creditors, and all other evidences of debts due to themselves; while perhaps a somewhat larger number satisfied their zeal for reform with the sacrifice of any uncomfortable recollection of their own indebtment.
For this Wood he pretended an excessive sorrow, and vowed that usquebaugh had been the cause of his death, indeed, in prison he partook of no other liquor, and drunk a bottle of it on the day before his death. As old Wood came to these words, he paused to give them utterance. "What! Max?" screamed Mrs. Hayes, letting her ink-bottle fall over her ledgers.
But that period of it was enough. He found himself not only regretting the abandonment of his college career, but feeling that the thing for which he had given it up had been rather a waste of time. He came to the conclusion that, though he had entered college later than most, even now a further acquaintance with text-books and professors was more to be desired than with ledgers and brokers.
But the suggestion was, in fact, far more subtle, pervasive almost you might call it an aroma. The Counting House so he called the single apartment in which he slung his hammock, wrote up his ledgers, interviewed his customers, and in the intervals cooked his meals on an oil-stove was, in pact, a store of ample dimensions. To speak precisely, it measured thirty-six feet by fourteen. But Mr.
The room smelt of cigar smoke, while the office, through which the client must pass to reach it, was odoriferous of ancient ledgers. Half a dozen clerks were seated in the office, which was simply furnished and innocent of iron safes. If a client entered, one of the six, whose business it was, looked up, while the other five continued to give their attention to the books before them.
These old day-books and ledgers are incomplete, but they cover spaces of time in the years 1814, 1824, 1833; and their account of the purchases made by John Toffey's customers furnishes a record, we may suppose, of the goods brought into the households on the Hill at that time, from other communities; as well as the actual exchange of commodities on the Hill, where at that time diversified industries were carried on.
Everything here, in short, is interesting: the press-room, which was used almost continuously and practically without change two of the antiquated presses of Plantin's own time remain for nearly three centuries; the Great and Little Libraries, with their splendid collection of books; the archive room, with its long series of business accounts and ledgers; the private livingrooms of the Moretus family; and last, but not least, the modest little shop, where books still repose upon the shelves, which looks as though the salesman might return at any moment to his place behind the counter.
The wicked man, the traitor to betray Dale's trust, his friendship! The office was quite empty. And on the big desk, amid a litter of papers and letters and books and ledgers, stood the little model in its clumsy box. Robin caught it up and held it close to her, defiantly.
Providence is so kind to me, Mr. Mayor." Waife turned to the door. "You will come soon?" he said anxiously. The Mayor, who had been locking up his ledgers and papers, replied, "I will but stay to give some orders; in a quarter of an hour I shall be at your hotel." Sophy hides heart and shows temper.
If it never comes all the same, I'll stick to my work. Two ledgers are done, and I am well on in the third. The rascal has covered his tracks well, but I pick them up for all that. Jan. 9. I had not meant to go to the doctor again. And yet I have had to. "Straining my nerves, risking a complete breakdown, even endangering my sanity." That's a nice sentence to have fired off at one.
