Four times already within a year his parents had entrusted themselves and him to the care of the State, and four times, overcome by individualistic considerations, they had recalled him to their own protection. His was not an unusual case. The superintendent boasted that his "turn-over" ran to more than five hundred children a year. But there was distinction about Clem, and people remembered him.
"If you would come again in an hour, and give me another turn-over, you would be doing more for me than I would do for you. What day is this?" "Sunday, December the ninth." He pondered awhile. "I 've lost count of the days. What time is it?" "Between one and two, I should think. My watch is at the bottom of the Murray." "Afternoon, of course. I think I ought to be dead by this time to-morrow.
At first the Army had only one establishment in Manchester, which used to be a cotton mill. Now it is a Shelter for 200 men. Then it took others, some of which are owned and some hired, among them a great 'Elevator' on the London plan, where waste paper is sorted and sold. The turn-over here was over £8,000 in 1909, and may rise to £12,000.
Fairy tales must come to ending. Katy's last chapter closed with a sudden turn-over of the leaf when, toward the end of this happy fortnight, Mrs. Ashe came into her room with the face of one who has unpleasant news to communicate. "Katy," she began, "should you be awfully disappointed, should you consider me a perfect wretch, if I went home now instead of in the autumn?"
Claridge.... Well: to finish up about Beryl: I think you we can trust her. She may be odd in her notions of morality, but in finance or business she's as honest as a man." "My dear Vivie I mean David what a strange thing for you to say! I suppose it is part of your make-up goes with the clothes and that turn-over collar, and the little safety pin through the tie ?"
"If you should have a turn-over the blooming thing don't know enough to swim, like you do; and to lose it just now would put us in a fine old pickle," he explained, when Maurice joked him about the solicitude he was showing.
The thought flashed through the girl's mind that he was trying to frighten her to keep her away from the hearing. "Well, I hope they have decent cameras," she managed to say indifferently. He glanced at her with a look that meant she would make a picture. And in this, at least, he was honest, for the girl was certainly attractive in her linen coat, her turn-over collar and her simple Panama hat.
"I don't suppose," he remarked, "there's a sane man between here and San Francisco who isn't consumed by that yearning." Having permitted himself this pleasantry he passed on to business. "Yes it's a first-rate time to buy: no doubt of that. But you say you want to make a quick turn-over? Heard of a soft thing that won't wait, I presume? That's apt to be the way with soft things all kinds of 'em.
The blouse was finished at the neck with a nice little turn-over collar fastened with a brooch set with imitation diamonds and sapphires. "Now, Mame, you know," said the man with assumed pathos, "that it is only because I'm a poor devil that I don't go kerflop the minute I set eyes on you. But you wouldn't like to live in boxes, would you? Would you now?"
The latter now interposed himself permanently between "producer" and consumer and by his control of the market assumed a commanding position. The merchant-capitalist ran his business upon the principle of a large turn-over and a small profit per unit of product, which, of course, made his income highly speculative. He was accordingly interested primarily in low production and labor costs.
