As Sampson spoke, he laid the bank-note upon the desk among some papers, in an absent manner, and thrust his hands into his pockets. Richard Swiveller pointed to it, and admonished him to take it up. 'No, Mr Richard, sir, rejoined Brass with emotion, 'I will not take it up. I will let it lie there, sir.
"Just seen him down on Tremont Street, between two cops. Must ha' caught him in the act." "You don't say so! Well, that's good, anyway. Why! didn't you' get it changed?" demanded the young man with painful surprise as his mate handed him the bank-note. "No, I didn't. I been to more'n twenty places, and there ain't no small bills nowhere.
While they amused themselves with discourses of this kind, Wild meditating within himself whether he should borrow or steal from his friend, or indeed whether he could not effect both, the apprentice brought a bank-note of L500 in to Heartfree, which he said a gentlewoman in the shop, who had been looking at some jewels, desired him to exchange.
See here is the money. Don't be foolish take it! You will never receive another such offer." He had pulled out some bills, from which he quickly selected a fifty-dollar bank-note, which he tendered to Frank. The boy drew away. "You are wasting your time in offering me money for the ring.

This Baronet was proud, too; and the mere possession of his secrets by Feltram was an involuntary insult, which Sir Bale could not forgive. He wished him far away; and except for the recovery of his bank-note, which he could ill spare, he was sorry that this suspicion was cleared up. The thunder and storm were unabated; it seemed indeed that they were growing wilder and more awful.
I hope my dear little girl will not be homesick all by herself. I never should have left just at this time if it had not been very necessary." Joyce smoothed out the bank-note and looked at it with sparkling eyes. Twenty whole francs! The same as four dollars! All the money that she had ever had in her whole life put together would not have amounted to that much.
He squeezed a bank-note into her hand and when she, with affected earnestness, desired him to take it back, assuring him that she needed no immediate pecuniary aid, he insisted that she should retain it; and shortly afterwards he arose and took his leave, having easily obtained permission to call upon her the next day.
A few words aside between Alban and the assembled police, the crisp rustle of a bank-note in the darkness, helped conviction to a final victory. There were other ferrets in that dark warren and bigger game to be had.
