As an additional precaution against the possibility of any of the men idling or wasting their time, each one was given a time-sheet on which he was required to account for every minute of the day. The form of these sheets vary slightly with different firms: that of Rushton & Co., was as shown.
First thing was to put that caulking right, and we spent three or four days driving the landings down you can do a lot with good soft steel. Anyhow, when we filled up the time-sheet showing how far we'd got on with the job, there was a nasty letter from the engineer. Wanted to know what we'd been playing at and said he'd have us sent home if we couldn't do better."
Nothing to do but sit under a monstrous big umbrella, with a paper in your fist, like a chairman, while twenty Kaffirs do the work. Just a bit of a tussle now and then to keep you from dropping off. When a Kaffir turns up a diamond, you grab it, and mark it on the time-sheet against his name.
But they say he don't pick up any since he come there." "All right, Brand. I think that is all." "How about my name goin' back on the books?" asked Williams. "It hasn't been off the books. You know, Louise attends to the time-sheet." Williams nodded. "I expect Miguel and Parson Long will be sniffin' around lookin' for a job before long.

'Why, what's wrong? said he. 'What have I done? 'Oh, it's not wot you've DONE, replied Misery. 'It's wot you've not done. That's wot's wrong!
A good many of these things which it's important for you to know happen a little before beginning and a little after quitting time; and so the real reason why the name of the boss doesn't appear on the time-sheet is not because he's a bigger man than any one else in the place, but because there shouldn't be any one around to take his time when he gets down and when he leaves.
One man remained at the pay window while he read the card and then flung it with an obscene curse into Rushton's face, and demanded his back day, which they gave him without any remark or delay, the other men who were not yet paid having to wait while he made out his time-sheet for that morning. The story of this card spread all over the place in a very short time.
