"Do you think I had better come in at ten o'clock, Cousin James?" inquired Roswell, as breakfast was over, and Gilbert prepared to go to the counting-room. "Well, perhaps you may come a little earlier, say about half-past nine," said the book-keeper. "All right," said Roswell.
I entered the counting-room at seventeen, and have remained there ever since, with the exception of four months spent in Europe." "If you are rich already, why do you go out to California?" asked Joe. "I am not going to the mines; I am going to prospect a little for the firm. Some day San Francisco will be a large city.

Harry went to Canada with the intention of following Arthur's example and devoting himself to the law, but changed his mind, and is now in the merchant's counting-room; and sends home presents of wonderful shawls and gowns to Janet and his sisters, intending to impress them with the idea that he is very rich indeed.

She was a good accountant and earned a fair salary.

The baron was already on the staircase, and Birotteau caught him at the bottom just as he was about to enter the counting-room. As Nucingen opened the door he saw the despairing gesture of the poor creature behind him, who felt himself pushed into a gulf, and said hastily, "Vell, it is all agreet. See tu Tillet, and arranche it mit him."
