It was toward the end of June that Miss Dora Bannister returned from a fortnight's visit to some friends at the seashore, and she had been home a very little while, when she became convinced that her most important duty was to go to see that young girl at Cobhurst.
Margaret regarded him in stony fury. She was deadly white. "Do you mean that Throckmorton, Kirby, & Son have has failed?" she asked. "Do you mean that my money the money that my father left me is GONE? Does Mr. Bannister say so? Why why has it never occurred to you to warn me?" "I did warn you. I did try to tell you, in July why, all the world knew how things were going!"
"And the papers were on your table?" "To the best of my belief they were rolled up." "But might be recognised as proofs?" "Possibly." "No one else in your room?" "No." "Did anyone know that these proofs would be there?" "No one save the printer." "Did this man Bannister know?" "No, certainly not. No one knew." "Where is Bannister now?" "He was very ill, poor fellow.
Here took up Knepp into our coach, and all of us with her to her lodgings, and thither comes Bannister with a song of hers, that he hath set in Sir Charles Sidly's play for her, which is, I think, but very meanly set; but this he did, before us, teach her, and it being but a slight, silly, short ayre, she learnt it presently.
Until she was of age she was to be kept as much as possible away from the distractions and temptations of modern luxury. The Judge and the Admiral had agreed that nothing could be better.

At the flare of the light there was a sound from below a scratching sound and the creaking of boards as beneath a heavy body; then came the clanking of the chain once more, and the bannister against which they leaned shook as though a hand had been laid upon it below them.
The girl became aware that her foreman was looking at her with a wary silent vigilance sinister in its intensity. "In short, you're like the rest of the people in this section. You're afraid." "Now y'u're shoutin', Miss Messiter. I sure am when it comes to shootin' off my mouth about Bannister." "And you, Mr. Morgan?"
Something told him that Ruth had not forgotten, but it might be that cheerfulness now would blot out the resentment of past irritability. But in his embarrassment he was more than cheerful. As Steve had been on the occasion of his visit to old John Bannister, he was breezy, breezy with an effort that was as painful to Ruth as it was to himself, breezy with a horrible musical comedy breeziness.
A detected felony could not have given Martie a more sinking sensation than she experienced at the sight. Her initials: M. S. B. she need puzzle only a second over the selection, for her letters to him were always signed, "Martha Salisbury, Bannister."
The gymnasium was a recent addition to the Bannister home. It had been established as the result of a heart-to-heart talk between old John Bannister and his doctor. The doctor spoke earnestly of nervous prostration and stated without preamble the exact number of months which would elapse before Mr. Bannister living his present life, would make first-hand acquaintance with it.
