It happened, oddly enough, that I had two or three uncashed checks in my pocket; so, feeling like a millionaire, I broached the subject to him. "What's the matter, old fellow?" I said. "You seem in a blue funk. Has the mint stopped? If it has, command me. I'm overburdened with checks this week." "Not at all; thanks just the same," he said, wearily.
Presently, as if for comparison with her father's letter, she got out Ramage's check from the box that contained her papers. For so far she had kept it uncashed. She had not even endorsed it. "Suppose I chuck it," she remarked, standing with the mauve slip in her hand "suppose I chuck it, and surrender and go home! Perhaps, after all, Roddy was right!
It gave universal confidence. Many who had been scrambling, swearing, almost fighting, to reach the counter and receive gold for their notes, put them again into their pockets, uncashed.

She had had it for some time, but thought it was only a picture. When cashed she was in funds. Wasn't she a stupid old woman? To be bankrupt, with an uncashed P.O. Order in her possession!

"Now we'll starve," said she, but after reaching home he happened to put his hand in the pocket of an old coat and drew out an uncashed cheque which had been forgotten. One day when out alone she went into a dismal-looking pawn-shop in a part of the city that was not considered exactly safe.
Well, I sent Le Breton a cheque for eight guineas for that lot, and can you credit it, it's remained uncashed from that day to this. I really think he must have destroyed it. 'No doubt, Arthur answered, with a smile. 'And the Bodahls? What about them? 'Oh! he kept that cheque for a few days uncashed though I'm sure he wanted money at the time; but in the end, I'm happy to say, he cashed it.
'O why, he presently sighed, 'does he not work a little overtime and get it done? He's been paid handsomely enough.... 'Paid, he continued, 'by a life that is so much undeveloped gold-mine, paid by all my uncashed hopes and dreams.... 'He works fast enough for me, old fellow, I interrupted; 'there was a time, was there not, when he worked too fast for you and me?
