'Tis not the time to be talkin' of our savin's.
He stopped an' axed her how she was doin'. An' when he was goin' away, he gave her a gold sovereign, an' he says, `Put it in th' savin's-bank for him, an' keep it theer till he's a big lad an' wants it. It's been in th' savin's- bank ever sin'. I've got a whole pound o' ma own out at interest. There's not many lads ha' got that." "He must have been a good-natured fellow," commented Tembarom.

You wouldn't consider a widder, Cephas? A widder'd be a good comp'ny-keeper for your mother." "I hain't put my good savin's into an ell jest to marry a comp'ny-keeper for mother," responded Cephas huffily.

I've strong assurance that no evil will happen to you and my uncle and the children from anything I've done. I didn't preach without direction." "Direction!
Why thar's all ma's money which she left me in the Savin's Bank that I wanted to draw out for I had the right and give it to him, but he wouldn't hear of it! Why, he wouldn't take one of the things I've got with me, if he knew it.
"Then, after all your talk and bragging, you haven't got no definite plan. All you argue for is cutting loose from the roof over us an' livin' up our little savin's." "I know that I can give you big things in the place of little things." The lad's voice again mounted and into his face came the flush of assured inspiration.

"There'll be nobody to interfere with you, an' a handsome legacy if I die first; for none o' my few savin's is goin' to my daughters, I can promise you that!" The Deacon threw out this tempting bait advisedly, for at this moment he would have poured his hoard into the lap of any woman who would help him to avenge his fancied wrongs. This was information, indeed!
This is a friend o' the People, this is! This is the man as 'as your interests at 'art, mates! If he'll do a thing like that, won't he rob you of your savin's? As soon as he knew what the man was about to speak of, Mutimer felt the blood rush back upon his heart. It was as when a criminal hears delivered against him a damning item of evidence.
"Faith, and I wint an' bought a practis' at onst, havin' a snig little sum stowed away in the bank," continued Garry, "the savin's of me pay for the last five year an' more, besides that money we all got for salvagin' the French ship, sure, of which I nivver spint a ha'poth. But aven thin, Dick, ould chap, yer dear ould mother wern't satisfied, bless her ould heart.
