After looking into each book, and opening and shaking it uselessly, in search of any loose papers which might be hidden between the leaves, I came to the fourth drawer, and found more relics of past pecuniary transactions in the shape of receipted bills, neatly tied together, and each inscribed at the back. Among the bills I found nearly a dozen loose papers, all equally unimportant.
In the castle of which I am honorary baron we are in the middle of an orgy of "getting things done." It must always be so, I suppose, when one moves into a new house. After the last furniture van has departed, and the painters' bill has been receipted, one feels that one can now settle down to enjoy one's new surroundings. But no. The discoveries begin.
I was asked to look over his papers, but there was not a private memorandum among them not one; there was nothing in fact but receipted bills." Lord Mountdean looked up. "There must be some mistake," he observed. "I myself placed in his charge all the papers necessary for the identification of my little daughter." "May I ask of what they consisted?" said the rector.
He merely said "Ewart, you and I have a long run before us to-morrow. We must be away at seven. The quicker we're out of this place, the better." I saw he had hurriedly packed, and that his receipted hotel bill lay upon the dressing-table. "Where are we going?" "I'll tell you to-morrow. Give this wire to the night-porter and tell him it's to be sent at ten o'clock to-morrow morning."
Bradshaw, if you are not busy, I wish you would look over this bundle of papers. They look like old receipted bills and memoranda of no particular use; but they came from the garret of the Withers place, and might possibly have something that would be of value. Look them over, will you, and see whether there is anything there worth saving." The young man took the papers, and Mr.
Nor was this all; for even as I loitered up to the door the dray of Sam Murdock halted in front with another huge load. Clem raised his head from a sheet of sprawled figures and regarded this fresh trouble with something like consternation. In one hand he fluttered a packet of receipted freight bills, and he spoke as one in an evil dream.
"Telegram, sir." "Who for?" "Dave Dashaway." "I'll take it." The messenger boy who had just entered the hangar of the great prize monoplane of the aero meet at Columbus, stared wonderingly about him while the man in charge of the place receipted for the telegram. The lad had never been in so queer a place before.
I found some receipted bills, which failed to interest me; some letters, which it is needless to say I laid aside after only looking at the addresses; and, under all, a photograph, face downward, with writing on the back of it. I looked at the writing, and saw these words: "To my dear son, Eustace." His mother! the woman who had so obstinately and mercilessly opposed herself to our marriage!
Then from the fat bundle upon which his elbow had rested, the banker removed the wrapping and counted out three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold certificates of five- and ten-thousand dollar denominations. Cameron recounted, and receipted for the money, and after depositing it in his pocket he extended his hand. "I congratulate you, Mr.
Be so good as to write me a letter in which you tell me that you are sending me these bills receipted on d'Estourny's account, and that the collecting officer is to regard the holder of the letter as the possessor of the three bills." "Will you give me your name?" "No names," replied the English capitalist.
