For a long time Sheila stood beside the trail, looking at the spot where he had disappeared, holding his vest with an unconscious grasp. Looking down she saw it and with an exclamation of rage threw it from her, watching it fall into the sand. But after an instant she went over and took it up, recovering, at the same time, a black leather pocket memoranda which had slipped out of it.
He reaches home about eleven o'clock and before retiring makes a careful memoranda of such people as have requested him to pray for them, and such other matters as may require his attention during the week. He seldom gets to bed much before midnight." In all the crowd and pressure of work, he is ably assisted by Mrs. Conwell.
By-and-by she locked the doors of the wardrobe, and passing into her own bedroom, flung herself on a couch with a bundle of papers old bills, soiled and folded memoranda, sporting paragraphs cut from the newspapers scraps found in his pockets months ago and religiously tied by her with a silken ribbon.
"I could desire many recruits like you," he said. "Mr. Hamilton, I beg to present Mr. Wynne. Have the kindness to make memoranda of what he may tell us." He spoke with deliberation, as one who had learned to weigh his words, not omitting any of the usual courteous forms, more common at that time than in our less formal day.

Little did I guess that Boswell was busy working up my scheme in his Stygian home! But it came to pass finally that I was roused up. Walking one morning to my desk to find a bit of memoranda I needed, I discovered a type-written slip marked, "No time for small talk. Boswell's tours grand success. Trolley-party to-night. Ten cars wanted. Jim."
Lying in wait for Leonard as he returned from the office, Devers demanded to be told what had been taken from the sergeant's chest, and then went white as chalk when Leonard calmly answered, "Certain stolen property, sir, including a map and some written memoranda which will be required before the court-martial that meets next week."
I obeyed, and the lieutenant consulted a scrap of paper upon which he had pencilled a few memoranda. "Now, tailor," he said, "you will have an order for a sufficiency of white duck." "Yes, sir." "And by this time to-morrow I want twenty loose frocks cut and made after the fashion of this man's blue cotton blouse thing." "Couldn't be done, sir, in the time," said the tailor respectfully.
