He begged his family, without mentioning his name, to send the accounts and vouchers of the sums he had so distributed, to me, as a proof of his contrition, that I might make what use of them I should think proper. The papers were handed to my messenger, who pledged her word of honour that I would certainly adhere to the dying man's last injunctions.
"Your grandfather!" cried Father d'Aigrigny, with the utmost surprise; "it is then your family that has always had the management of this property." "Yes, sir; and, in a few minutes, my wife will bring hither the casket which contains the vouchers." "And to what sum does this property amount?" asked Rodin, with an air of the most complete indifference.
Turner had drawn a bill directly to be paid the balance thereof, as Mr. Cocke demanded, and Sir J. Minnes did boldly assert the truth of it, and that he had examined it, when there is no such thing, but many vouchers, upon examination, missing, and we saw reason to strike off several of his demands, and to bring down his 5 per cent. commission to 3 per cent.

All we ask is that the stock be depressed to the point agreed upon within the half-year." "It's going to be done," said the governor, trying as he could to keep the eye-image of his fellow conspirator from multiplying itself by two. "All right.
"These are the kind of things," said he, "which vouch best for a man's respectability." "Not always," said I; "indeed, sometimes these kind of things need vouchers for themselves." The man looked at me with a peculiar look.
'Jews and generosity! said Fledgeby. 'That's a good connexion! Bring out your vouchers, and don't talk Jerusalem palaver. The vouchers were produced, and for the next half-hour Mr Fledgeby concentrated his sublime attention on them. They and the accounts were all found correct, and the books and the papers resumed their places in the bag.
He had finished wafering up the bill, and had locked the vouchers for her day's proceedings in the cupboard chuckling all the time, over her capacity for business when, returning with the news that the two Master Britains were playing in the coach-house under the superintendence of one Betsey, and that little Clem was sleeping 'like a picture, she sat down to tea, which had awaited her arrival, on a little table.
