I wanted to warn him that Alice Bashford was not an ordinary widow, who vexes officers of trust companies with foolish questions and is prone to overdraw her account, so I left when he did. "I want to talk to you," he said nervously when we were outside. "I'll send the car ahead to the gate." When the shrubbery cut us off from the house he stopped abruptly and seized my arm.
I have no desire to overdraw his qualities, but if there was one thing in him more noticeable than another, it was his fondness for nature.
"I want you to honor my draft for a large amount. I am about to draw upon your sympathy; can I ever overdraw my account with that royal bank?" "Upon my sympathy, never; but mark you, this does not commit me to compliance with all your Utopian schemes. If you were raving mad, I should sympathize, but nevertheless I should see that the strait-jacket was brought into requisition.
Take care that you do not overdraw. Keep your own record of your own money. In the Commercial banks of our large cities no interest is allowed, nor could it be easily calculated where a score of deposits may be made in a week and a hundred checks drawn in a day. The depositor in such a bank is free to check out his funds as he pleases.
Lady Kicklebury does not meet with US much, and has greater folks than we can pretend to be at her parties. But we know about THEM. She'll condescend to come to Perkins's, WITH WHOSE FIRM SHE BANKS; and she MAY overdraw HER ACCOUNT: but of that, of course, I know nothing.

By the bye, where are you going when we leave Enton?" Lord Arranmore hesitated. "Well, I really am not sure," he said. "You have alarmed me. Don't go." Lady Caroom laughed. "My dear man," she said, "we must! I daren't offend the Redcliffes. He's my trustee, and he'll never let me overdraw a penny unless I'm civil to him. If I were you I should go to the Riviera.
"Shall we watch the dancing, then?" asked Macauley. Harkless was already watching part of it. "If you will. I have not seen this sort for more than five years." "It is always a treat, I think, and a constant proof that the older school of English caricaturists didn't overdraw." "Yes; one realizes they couldn't."
We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets. I mean everything that I have said.
