It would be extremely distasteful, but his ample letter of credit would be at least a voucher of his final ability to pay. As a desperate resort he could go and try to get the money of Mr. Waters. He put on his coat and hat, and opened the door to some one who was just in act to knock at it, and whom he struck against in the obscurity. "I beg your pardon," said the visitor. "Mr. Waters!
Of course, if you've got anything to say, I'm here to listen, Where'll we go?" Jack turned and led the way into the sitting-room, where he motioned them both to seats. "And now what is the exact amount of your voucher?" he asked, when he had drawn up a chair and sat facing them. McGowan fumbled in his inside pocket and drew forth a slip of paper.
Vendenning and Major Belwether and the Tassel girl convoyed by Leroy Mortimer. Farther along the line, taking post, she saw Quarrier and Miss Caithness, Captain Voucher with Mrs. Mortimer, and others too distant to recognise, moving across country with glitter and glint of sunlight on slanting gun barrels.
Joan Devereux was standing motionless, staring out of the window. Vane dropped his letter into the box in the hall, and went up the stairs to his room. There was no objection to Vane going to London, it transpired. He had merely to write his name in a book, and he was then issued a half-fare voucher. No one even asked him his religion, which seemed to point to slackness somewhere.
In February, 1854, Mell was paid off, and a voucher made record of a newspaper advertisement for another overseer. What happened to the new incumbent is told by the expense entries of March 9, 1855: "Paid ... amount Jones' bill for capturing negroes, $25. Kollock's, $5; total $69." Other lowland plantations on a scale similar to that of Sabine Fields showed much better earnings.
It is a miserable time when a man’s Catholic profession is no voucher for his orthodoxy, and when a teacher of religion may be within the Church’s pale, yet external to her faith. Such has been for a season the trial of her children at various eras of her history.
Cannot thee give me some credential, some voucher for thy good faith, before I say to thee what I wish to say? Again I found myself forced to a sudden decision. In my experience as a detective I had found myself in many strange situations, but never before had I felt that I must speak the truth, or not at all, in a position like this.
To have even contended with such men was a sufficient voucher for his ability, even before we open his pamphlets, and have actual evidence of the good sense, the spirit, the scholar-like taste, and the purity of style, by which they are distinguished.
The commissioner then appended to the requisition a certificate to the effect that the petitioners named therein were known to him and that he believed they were really in need of the quantities of food for which they respectively made application. The requisition then went to the central committee, and when approved by it was filled at the Red Cross warehouse and retained there as a voucher.
In the first half of the present century the balls of Almack's were the most fashionable and exclusive in London, under the government of six lady patronesses, without a voucher from one of whom no one could obtain admittance. Williams, the reprinter of the North Briton, stood in the pillory to-day in Palace Yard. He went in a hackney-coach, the number of which was 45.
