"What is all this?" exclaimed Mr. Channing in astonishment, gazing from Tom to Arthur, from Arthur to the vision of the blue official dress, a glimpse of which he could catch beyond Judith. Tom took up the answer. "It's nothing, papa. It's a trick they are playing for fun, I'll lay. They can't really suspect Arthur of stealing the bank-note, you know.
Anne threw down the bank-note on the table near which they were standing, and snatched the letter from him. "You need no receipt," she answered. "There shall be no letter to bear witness against you!" She lifted her other hand to tear it in pieces. Bishopriggs caught her by both wrists, at the same moment, and held her fast. "Bide a wee!" he said.
When March's own inspector came he was as civil and lenient as our hateful law allows; when he had finished March tried to put a bank-note in his hand, and was brought to a just shame by his refusal of it.
To aid our fellow-citizens in the prudent management of their monetary affairs, the duty devolves on us to diminish by law the amount of paper money now in circulation. Five years ago the bank-note circulation of the country amounted to not much more than two hundred millions; now the circulation, bank and national, exceeds seven hundred millions.
We must begin at the beginning. May I venture to ask your Ladyship a question?" Lady Lydiard felt the composing influence of Mr. Troy. "I am at your disposal, sir," she said, quietly.

If Circumstance had thrown the bank-note in Caesar's way, his temperament would not have made him start for the Amazon.
"But I was so alarmed at the time by the sudden illness of my dog, that I do not feel justified in speaking positively." "Was anybody in the room with your Ladyship when you put the inclosure in the letter as you believe?" "I was in the room," said Moody. "I can swear that I saw her Ladyship put the bank-note in the letter, and the letter in the envelope." "And seal the envelope?" asked Mr. Troy.
I give it to you in charity." Phil gladly received and pocketed the bank-note, and relinquishing his hold of Mr. Lake, rejoined Dick, who had been an interested eye-witness of the interview. "I see you've got pluck," said Dick. "What's it all about?" Phil told him. "I ain't a bit s'prised," said Dick. "I could tell by his looks that the man was a skin."
Fireblood replied that he was greatly unhappy in not having it then in his power, adding many hearty oaths that he had not a farthing of money in his pocket, which was, indeed, strictly true; for he had only a bank-note, which he had that evening purloined from a gentleman in the playhouse passage.
And then, shamefaced before the crowd, driven by his father's anger, he went back to the man who had paid him and yielded up the precious bank-note. Then they turned, the one head-hung, the other proud in his very indignation, and made their way homeward. There was prayer-meeting the next Wednesday night at Bethel Chapel.
