"It was a curious cheque, ma'am," replied Starmidge. "It was drawn on Mr. Hollis's bankers, Vanderkiste, Mullineau & Company, of Lombard Street. It was dated. It was filled in for ten thousand pounds in words and in figures. But it was not signed and it was not made out to any body. No name of payee, you understand, ma'am, no name of payer. But it is very evident Mr.
At this they moved uneasily and glanced at one another with a crafty look of alarm. Their crooked fingers closed around the cups. "Are you a collector of taxes?" cried the first beggar. "Certainly not," I replied with heat, "but a payer of them!" "Come, come," said the beggar, with a wink at his comrades, "no insult intended! Only a prudent habit of ours in these days of mixed society.
The soundness of the Anglo-Saxon jury system is based on the theory that there is not one juryman but that there are twelve and that among twelve there will be an average between the landlord and the rent payer, between the Baptist and the Catholic.

The first week I didna mak aboon half-a-crown; and that was but a sma' sum for the support o' a wife and half-a-dozen hungry bairns.

The true conversationalist must, in opening, invest himself with an atmosphere of interest and solicitude. He must, as we say in French, be prepared to payer les rais de la conversation. In short, he must 'give himself an air." There! Go and do it if you can. I admit that I can't.
May heaven help thee as thy good intention deserves." "'Pledges don't distress a good payer," said Sancho; "I mean to lay on in such a way as without killing myself to hurt myself, for in that, no doubt, lies the essence of this miracle."
