It seemed to be written on a leaf torn from some old memorandum-book, and, to prevent sacrilegious trifling, had been sealed with six broken wafers. Opening it almost tenderly, the master read as follows: RESPECTED SIR: When you read this, I am run away. Never to come back. But don't you give anything to Clytie Morper. Don't you dair to.
Very likely Falsten wrote them upon a leaf torn from his memorandum-book.

She tore out a list of her commissions from a page of her memorandum-book, leaped lightly from the counter, threw her brown braid from her left shoulder to its proper place down her back, shook out her skirts deliberately, and saying, "Thank you for a most improvin' afternoon, Mr. Sparrell," sailed demurely out of the store.
He said, "Allow me to send a message to my servant." He then tore a leaf out of his memorandum-book, wrote on it: "Robert Penfold is here; arrest him directly, and take him away"; and, inclosing this in an envelope, sent it out to Burt by Nancy. Helen seated herself quietly, and said, "Mr. Wardlaw, when did Mr. Hand go to America?" Arthur stammered out, "I don't know the exact date."
"My dear Lady Anne, it is not worth while to write these lines in your album, for they were in print long ago, in every lady's old memorandum-book, and in Dodsley's Collection, I believe." "But still that was quite a different thing," Lady Anne said, "from having them in her album; so Mr. Harrington must be so very good."
On Saturday the collector called he opened his memorandum-book, and I my cash-book, preparatory to making entries of money returned. "Mr. A ," said the collector, "says he never pays in advance for any thing." "But the terms of the paper are in advance after the first three months." "I know." "Did you call his attention to this?"
