Hynes and sat down on the chair which the old man vacated. "Did you serve Aungier Street?" he asked Mr. O'Connor. "Yes," said Mr. O'Connor, beginning to search his pockets for memoranda. "Did you call on Grimes?" "I did." "Well? How does he stand?" "He wouldn't promise. He said: 'I won't tell anyone what way I'm going to vote. But I think he'll be all right." "Why so?"
Howe folded the check away in a battered leather pocket-book, shiny on the sides and ragged about the corners, and overflowing with odds and ends of memoranda and newspaper clippings; a row of fish-hooks was fastened into the flap, and he stopped to adjust these before he went into the house to answer Helen's letter.
Remembering this, King seized a desk pad, wrote on it some words of memoranda. Then he straightway forgot Casey in the detail of work. When the Bulletin was off the press, the pad, with its written inscription, caught his eye and he shoved it into a side pocket. "Well, I'm going home," he said to Nesbitt. "Must buy a few things for the children." Nesbitt looked up half absently from his writing.

"Business here conducted by . In the country, of has charge of the property. The document fell from my hands. F , N. Y., was a small town near R . "Your friend is a trump," I declared. "He tells me just what I wanted most to know." And, taking out my book, I made memoranda of the facts which had most forcibly struck me during my perusal of the communication before me.
I have kept no memoranda of their names; and indeed, what advantage would there have been in doing so? It was impossible for me to have a personal knowledge of all the fortunate candidates; but I relied on recommendations in which I had confidence.
