18981A week?
18981About how much did this sudden and surprising inheritance amount to, Richard?
18981An accident, Richard?
18981And a half then?
18981And about this boy-- what will you do?
18981And what day do you mean-- the time he brought the securities over, and it fell to your lot to place them in the vault?
18981And what have you decided, Dick? 18981 Are you in the habit of corresponding with anyone in Boston, Richard?"
18981But he did not happen to think of it?
18981But he didn''t-- don''t tell me he said_ I_ was a failure?
18981But he handled the packet, you admit?
18981But the position that was open to me here, with a chance to rise?
18981But what are you doing inside the railing now?
18981But who put this here-- a lady''s handkerchief, too? 18981 But why should he, mother?
18981By the way, Mr. Goodwyn, do n''t you think it would be wise to have this packet placed in the safe right away? 18981 Can you take these notices with you, Dick?"
18981Curtains-- shade-- where was this?
18981Did you ever hear of such a marvelous coincidence in your life, Goodwyn? 18981 Did you see that packet again after that?"
18981Do you mean with Mr. Cartwright, sir?
18981Do you really think he has found them?
18981Do you think they''ll send for Mr. Graylock, then?
18981Do you think we could fix it with a rail lashed under the axle? 18981 Do you wish to ask me anything more, sir?"
18981From the lawyer you engaged to look up that company?
18981Good news, Dick, guess what it is?
18981Have you this letter?
18981How d''ye do, Dick? 18981 How do you mean, Richard?"
18981How much was that?
18981If he did n''t take the securities, then who did?
18981If that letter could be found on the meadow somewhere, and brought to you, sir, would it help clear me in your eyes?
18981Is your father going with you?
18981It''s you, is it, Dick? 18981 Just how?"
18981Madam, is what your son tells me true?
18981Meaning whom, Richard?
18981My name?
18981Not for sale, young man, when your mother came to me and begged me to take it off her hands? 18981 Not the resumption of paying dividends by that company?"
18981Not two, Dick?
18981Richard, have you noticed Mr. Graylock around this morning; he has not been in the bank, but you have gone out several times, I believe?
18981Say, is n''t that great? 18981 Served him just right-- three dollars a week, eh?
18981Still, there is no fear of the company going to smash, is there, so that you would lose all you have invested there?
18981Take hold of it, Richard; tell me does it seem quite as full as when I first placed it in your hands?
18981Then I am not discharged, sir?
18981Then you do n''t blame me for thinking such a thing, sir? 18981 Then you expect to go away?"
18981Was this the package I gave you?
18981Well, boy, what do you want here?
18981Well, what is it?
18981What did I tell you, mamma?
18981What did I tell you, son?
18981What did you think, Richard; tell me?
18981What do you mean, my son?
18981What has happened to make you feel badly, mother?
18981What is the matter-- have you had an accident, son?
18981What news?
18981What wages do you pay, in case you needed anyone, and I applied for the job?
18981What was it you were about to say, Dick?
18981What would Mr. Graylock do with the papers in case he did take them out of the envelope that day?
18981What''s this, a lady''s soft handkerchief, with an initial in the corner-- B; now that stands for Bessie, eh?
18981What, me? 18981 What?
18981What_ are_ you here for anyway?
18981Where are ye goin''fishin'', son?
18981Where away, Dick?
18981Where were you when the letter was snatched out of your hand by the wind?
18981Who brought me into the conversation first?
18981Who''s this boy, Payson?
18981Why, that''s the bank examiner, is n''t it? 18981 Will you put in a good word for me, then, Charlie?"
18981With the securities still on the table?
18981Wo n''t you go home with me to get dried out, Dick?
18981Wonder if Bessie would know me with my old regimentals on? 18981 Yes, and what did she say?"
18981You found it, then?
18981You wo n''t say anything to a living soul?
18981Ai n''t it just bully?
18981All right, who cares?
18981And do you imagine I can stand it right along?
18981And you say, Mr. Winslow that he took to the idea at once?"
18981And you used to catch bass there that far back?
18981Anything else?"
18981Archibald Graylock& Son, wo n''t look half bad, eh?
18981But how can anybody get into his house to find them?
18981But what can you do to prove the truth?
18981But, Mr. Winslow, could a man do such a thing?
18981CHAPTER X THE MEETING IN THE BANK"Am I right in assuming that you are looking for a position, Richard?"
18981Can you give me a hand, Dick, or are you in a hurry?"
18981Can you go to work to- day, Richard?
18981Can you guess who it was?"
18981Can you start to work at once, Richard?"
18981Could it be that he was having troubles financially?
18981Dick put his hand in his pocket and drawing it out, said:"Guess how much for my morning''s catch?"
18981Did their beautiful home burn down-- what a pity that would be?
18981Did you ever hear of such luck, and just when it looked as if we were near the bottom of the heap, too?
18981Do you happen to know how business is just now, and whether the bank has need of any more help?
18981Do you know I can telegraph to that office and discover the truth?"
18981Do you suppose he will be arrested and made to produce the missing documents, son?"
18981Do you think I do n''t notice it?
18981Getting along all right in the bank?
18981Gibbs?"
18981Got a steady job?"
18981Graylock?"
18981Graylock?"
18981Graylock?"
18981Have a chair, wo n''t you?"
18981Have you found them, sir; were they mislaid; or did some one in your employ take them after all, so that you feel disposed to make their loss good?"
18981Have you had a letter?"
18981How could so humble a personage as the bank messenger boy have anything to do with the financial standing of a big merchant like Mr. Graylock?
18981How d''ye suppose I''m ever going to lug that heavy thing back up to the road now?"
18981I can trust you to perform this service promptly, Richard, can I not?"
18981I had nothing to do with it, and never even touched his old motor- cycle until I offered to help him get it out of the ditch?
18981I understand that you have already been making a start in that line?"
18981I understand?"
18981I wanted to ask you about that affair up at old Gibbs''place; they say you saved Bessie''s life?"
18981In what way could I attempt to dispose of such things, since I have never been out of Riverview in all my life?
18981Is it the ripple just back o''Banker Gibbs''place?"
18981Is this so, boy?"
18981Just how long do you think you were in there on that occasion, Richard?"
18981Morrison, what are you doing here?
18981Mr. Cheever-- isn''t that his real name, and he a bank examiner?"
18981No more unexpected fortunes dropping down out of the skies, eh?"
18981Now, tell me just why you thought anything about it, boy?"
18981Now, what is it you want to tell me, and in what way can I give you advice?
18981Perhaps he may turn out better than we think, who knows?"
18981Richard, you may go-- but stay, what is this?
18981Shall we call it a go, madam?"
18981She would only worry about it, and what''s the use?
18981So, that was what had happened, was it?
18981There is really no tangible evidence that he took the securities, sir; you must admit that it is only suspicion as yet with you?"
18981Was it Charles who had done this-- could it be possible that the boasting one really did have more or less influence with the president?
18981What a Paradise we can make of our dear home in time, eh, Dick?"
18981What a day this had been, the evil mingled with the good; would he ever forget it as long as he lived?
18981What are the hours here?"
18981What did Mr. Graylock say to that, Pliny?"
18981What did it mean?
18981What do you suppose father would have done to him if he had been alive?
18981What does he care if your mother''s heart were broken by the fact of her boy being accused of this deed?
18981What new danger have you been in now?"
18981What on earth interest could he have in the matter at all?
18981What you thinking about now?
18981Who could be cheerful under such conditions?
18981Why did you jump off when by a twist of the handlebars you could have saved the machine?
18981Why should that be?
18981Why should this be?
18981Will you get after that company and force them to begin paying dividends again?
18981Winslow?"
18981Winslow?"
18981Wo n''t you accept this, please?
18981Would a dollar and a quarter a day satisfy you, son?
18981Would he be able to discover anything there?
18981You could not accuse him of it openly?
18981You do n''t want to sell it, the house father built?"
18981You know I told you all about that trouble at the time, mother?"
18981You seem to have had good success in fishing?"
18981You will ask for Mr. Jones, and he can put you to work?"
18981You will not hesitate to tell him everything he wishes to know, will you?"
18981[ Illustration:"CAN YOU GIVE ME A HAND, DICK, OR ARE YOU IN A HURRY?"
18981_ you?_"cried Ferd, hardly able to believe his ears,"impossible!"
18981are you sure you are not badly burned, dearest, are you positive?"
18981come into some money?
18981he is, eh?
18981how did it happen, my child?
18981what''s that mean?"
18981you noticed that, did you?
38472Alibi?
38472And after that do you remember the race for two- year- olds, and my theory that in an untried field the odds were all against the favorites winning? 38472 And what sized lots,"he asked,"are you going to trade in?"
38472And what was the first requisite for their plan? 38472 And what was the other paper he spoke of?"
38472And wheat,queried Brooks,"will go up?"
38472Anything else?
38472Are you all right?
38472Are you sure you have the right name?
38472Before you leave?
38472Blagden,he gasped,"what can we do?"
38472Blagden,said Mills solemnly,"do you care to know my genuine, sincere opinion of life in general?"
38472But how do I know,he objected,"when you will be going out there again?"
38472But how does she know,queried Mills,"that there is any secret?
38472But is it right,asked Decency,"to send someone else where you would not venture yourself?"
38472But why so eager about money?
38472Can you grasp it? 38472 Charming?"
38472Could I forget? 38472 Did you have any trouble getting away?"
38472Did you tell me in the cafà © you had a clew?
38472Do n''t you see? 38472 Do you deny that you would like to marry Miss Hamilton?"
38472Do you know Billy?
38472Forgotten them?
38472Good,was his brief comment; then added in a tone that was half a statement, half a query,"You''re not a professional chauffeur?"
38472Got a cigarette?
38472Have n''t you any way of finding out?
38472Have you made up your mind to that?
38472How do you know it is n''t?
38472How far will cotton decline?
38472How''s Liverpool?
38472Hullo, Jim,he hailed,"how are you?
38472I hope so,said Mills somewhat dubiously,"but ought n''t we to wait a while longer?
38472If he seemed to be a pretty smooth proposition, why do n''t you go in with him? 38472 If it''s necessary to see you again,"whispered Blagden,"what is your boat, and when does she sail?"
38472If you were only allowed to play every week or two, and in a very limited way, and under the direction of another person, would that satisfy you? 38472 Is he better?"
38472Is n''t that right, boys?
38472Is there any hope?
38472Mr. Bellingham,he asked earnestly,"do you imagine, sir, that this is true?"
38472Now who the dickens,he wondered,"can that be?
38472Now,she said,"is n''t it wonderful?"
38472Oh, pretty good,the chubby one answered, and pushing the bill of fare toward Atherton, he added,"Here, what will you have?
38472Oh, thanks,retorted Mills with unwonted asperity,"why do n''t you try it yourself?
38472Oh, was n''t it splendid?
38472Oh, well,Blagden retorted,"what do you expect?
38472One moment, Cyrus,he said courteously,"may I interrupt you?"
38472Prevented me from losing?
38472Quit?
38472Satisfactory references?
38472Shall I remain here, sir?
38472Shall we tell him, Tubby?
38472So you know her?
38472That sounds fine,Mills agreed,"but what kind of adventures are we going to have?"
38472The others will be here?
38472The question is,she said slowly,"what can you do best?"
38472Then you know,he said at length,"what the burglary was for?"
38472Then you think they''ll rally?
38472Then you''ll do it?
38472Was it in stocks?
38472Well, Jock,asked Bellingham,"how did Mr. Hamilton come out with Mr. McKay?
38472Well, well,Blagden greeted him,"how goes it, old scout?"
38472Well, what do you know?
38472Well,asked Mr. Hamilton,"how do you find him?"
38472Well,he queried,"what seems to be the big idea?"
38472Well,she queried,"do you believe me now?"
38472What could you have done?
38472What did he call it? 38472 What do you mean by that?"
38472What do you think of''em?
38472What the devil''s happened?
38472What the hell is this?
38472What''s a good stock to sell?
38472What''s up?
38472Where did you say you were going to trade?
38472Where''s this friend of yours? 38472 Who is it?"
38472Would you be kind enough, Marshall,he asked,"to read to us once more the statement showing our profits for the year?"
38472You need hardly have asked me that?
38472You saw it?
38472You''re a good driver?
38472You''re not forgetting our golf?
38472''The United Brotherhood of Down and Outs''?
38472''The holy of holies''?"
38472After all we''ve been through?
38472Again his hearers signified assent, and Bellingham, lowering his voice, continued,"Then what is the answer?
38472And after a pause, he added,"How could this man have known?
38472And are you happy?"
38472And at length, summoning all his courage, he asked,"If I should ask you a truthful question, would you give me a truthful answer?"
38472And besides, what does he gain?
38472And every so often he will say,''Would you like some pin money?''
38472And how has Fortune treated you?
38472And if they were n''t on the links, where were they?
38472And is he the only one, or will others come to tempt their destiny?"
38472And the second is, no matter where they were, what on earth were they doing?"
38472And then without wasting words, he added,"Why?
38472And what in the world is he after?
38472And with a deep- drawn breath she added imploringly,"Oh, is n''t there anything that you can do?"
38472And yet, reasoning from what we know, is n''t this the very time to be suspicious?"
38472Any adventure?"
38472Anything doing?"
38472Are we to understand that in the event of a decline in the market, you stand ready to deposit additional sums as we may require them?"
38472Are you at liberty this evening?"
38472Are you going up to him to ask the time of day, and then will you grab it and run?
38472Are you long or short?"
38472Are you willing to do that?"
38472As long as I keep my ten point margin good, why should you worry?"
38472At once he stepped forward, and asked,"Beg pardon, but may I help you?"
38472Atherton?"
38472But all I''m wondering is, how much lower will they go?
38472But for what purpose had he climbed the tree?
38472But how is all this going to make us rich?
38472But how, at this hour of the morning, was he to make his way to Bellingham''s room?
38472But on the level, Mr. Bellingham, do n''t it beat hell?
38472But the answer is: What''s the use?
38472But what''s the answer?
38472But why do you say that you''desire more?''
38472By cable?
38472By the way, what''s your name?"
38472Can you make anything out of his figures?"
38472Could the man be a burglar, with a confederate working in the house?
38472Did the whole world know his secret?
38472Do I make myself clear?"
38472Do n''t you understand?
38472Do you believe in God?"
38472Do you believe it?"
38472Do you care for him?"
38472Do you fellows believe it, or do n''t you?"
38472Do you get the idea?"
38472Do you know her, Atherton?"
38472Do you mind letting me tell you what they are?"
38472Do you remember that?"
38472Do you talk about a war between a boa- constrictor and a rabbit?"
38472Do you want this one?"
38472Do you want to drive me there?"
38472Does he make his profits in the same way that a conjuror extracts rabbits from a hat?"
38472Does it appear to be a kind of magic?
38472Easy?
38472For what purpose, and to whom?
38472Gentleman friend?
38472Had you forgotten?"
38472Has it occurred to your pure and youthful mind that the events of last night may have some bearing oh the situation?"
38472Have we been temperance advocates, preachers of the Gospel, haters of women?
38472Have you any real reason for thinking the market is n''t going up?"
38472Have you lived as you planned to live?"
38472Honestly now, can you beat it?"
38472How about it, Tubby; you would n''t do that?"
38472How about that?"
38472How about you, Tubby?
38472How are we going to get our money back?"
38472How can they connect us with him?"
38472How did you get along with the lovely lady?
38472How do you account for that?"
38472How had he come to play this game?
38472How had he dared, he wondered-- how did any of them dare-- to speculate in stocks?
38472How is it with you?"
38472How long, he wondered, had he been dreaming?
38472How much longer do you stay as chauffeur?"
38472How on earth does he stand it?
38472How then will they communicate?
38472I should like nothing so much as a fresh start, but can I get it?
38472I suppose he won, did n''t he?"
38472If I had met you six months ago, where would I be to- day?
38472If a good God ruled the world, why did he implant these fierce desires in the breasts of his children?
38472If she''s got such a good thing-- the tips, I mean, not the gentleman friend-- why is n''t she satisfied?
38472If we knew just what was going to happen to us, every day of our lives, where would the fun be?
38472In spite of himself, Mills felt as if the blood had ceased flowing in his veins, and his voice sounded thick and strained as he cried,"What''s this?
38472In the face of such a showing, do you maintain with seriousness that we may be termed ultra- conservative?"
38472In what possible way, after the strict precaution of years, had he and his associates thus betrayed themselves, or been betrayed?
38472Is Miss Hamilton engaged to be married, or anything like that?"
38472Is he rich?"
38472Is n''t that perfect?
38472Is n''t that so?"
38472Is n''t that stretching things beyond all reason?"
38472Is n''t that the long and short of it?"
38472Is n''t there some way, Blagden, by which I could go along the roofs and down by some other exit?"
38472Is she really so charming?"
38472Mr. McKay keeps his clubs in the machine, does n''t he?"
38472Mr. McKay on the links?"
38472Murderers, are n''t we?
38472No hard feeling, Blagden?"
38472Nolan rose at once, and as soon as they were safely out of earshot, Bellingham continued,"Look here, Jim, do you want to make some easy money?"
38472Now then, you fat guzzler, is n''t that fair?"
38472Now what is the sense in that?
38472Of course he''s a nervous wreck now, but who would n''t be?
38472Oh, and by the way,"he added, as the butler rose to go,"would you mind telephoning Saunders to saddle the bay mare?
38472Or is that too severe?"
38472See what''s happened to him now; do you suppose either of us is going to run into anything like that?"
38472Shall I tell him that you are here?"
38472So I ask you again, why the devil are you so afraid of his being harmed?"
38472So on the whole, Atherton, do n''t you think you''d better withdraw your opposition, and let us go ahead?"
38472So what the devil does it all mean, anyway?"
38472Some fool joke?"
38472Suppose a hundred men start speculating on the same day?
38472Surely not the Law?"
38472Telegraph?
38472Telephone?
38472That fortunes are made over night?
38472That settles number one; what''s number two?"
38472That''s conservative, is n''t it?"
38472That''s what the girl told me; do n''t you remember?
38472The lovely lady is interested in stocks and she has a-- what is the technical word in such cases-- friend, is n''t it?
38472The point is: What are we going to do next?
38472Then Atherton asked, still unbelievingly,"But why does she confide in you?
38472Then Blagden cried, triumphantly,"Did n''t I tell you fellows the truth?
38472Then comes the question: Are they going to win?
38472Then why, he reflected, should a person wish to climb a tree at this time of night?
38472Then, impelled by mere curiosity, he added,"Which is it this time, Martin?
38472Then, turning to Atherton, he asked,"How about you?
38472Then, yielding to a fleeting impulse, he added,"Where are you keeping the car now?
38472There was silence for a moment; then Blagden continued earnestly,"Tubby, if we are right, can you imagine what this is going to mean?
38472There''s no double cross to this?
38472To keep some kind of a watch, or lookout?
38472To signal?
38472Under such conditions, would you use bait?"
38472Was his whole life an open book?
38472Was it a real adventure?"
38472Was it fair?
38472We might have the knowledge but would we dare to use it?"
38472Were n''t you scared?"
38472What are we going to do?
38472What are we then?
38472What day is this?
38472What did they know of real conditions throughout the world?
38472What do you say, Atherton?
38472What do you say, Tubby?
38472What do you say?"
38472What do you suppose that means?"
38472What does the Bible say?
38472What handicap does Mr. Bellingham give you now?"
38472What on earth shall I do?
38472What shall we call ourselves?
38472What''s he going to be doing?
38472What''s his life to you?
38472What''s that?"
38472What''s wrong?"
38472What''s your opinion?"
38472When shall we meet again?"
38472Where can I get hold of you if I want you?
38472Where does it come from?"
38472Where is Martin?"
38472Where would be the romance, the thrill?
38472Who is this owner?
38472Whom do you designate as this owner of the stream?
38472Why did he change a world of joy and beauty into a hell of discontent?
38472Why did n''t you sell me a gold brick and be done with it?
38472Why did she pick out the one impossible story in the world?
38472Why do you ask?"
38472Why does she tell_ you_ her troubles?"
38472Why on earth ca n''t anyone beat it?
38472Why should he escape?
38472Will you remain neutral, and let Tubby and myself go ahead with this plan ourselves?"
38472You could n''t see a man to- night until he was right on top of you-- My God, what''s that?"
38472You have n''t forgotten those?"
38472You think, then, that he speculates with some sort of system?"
38472You''re not going to leak to the bulls?"
38472he asked anxiously,"Are they going lower?"
38472he cried, and advancing toward Mills, he demanded truculently,"What the devil are you doing here?"
38472he exclaimed,"do you mean you''re going to stop now?
38472she cried,"we are not talking of costumes; what do they matter?
60029Let me ask the 25,000 individual independent banks of America, what they would do when the day of contraction and refusal came? 60029 Madison interposed:''Will it not be sufficient to prohibit the making''the bills''a tender''?
60029The question before the Convention was: Shall power be granted to the legislature of the United States''to emit bills of credit''? 60029 What is it that we most need?
60029Am I correct in my understanding of the difference of cost upon these two forms of currency?
60029Am I correct?
60029And again he writes:"Why should a bank keep any reserve?
60029And are we now to do something possibly more than stupid when we are naturally, even in defiance of law, as we have seen, finding our way out?
60029And it worked in New England under the Suffolk system with 500 individual independent banks-- why wo n''t it work here?
60029And where are we going to in the Clearing House matter?
60029Are not these reserves large enough to meet all emergencies?
60029Are you not convinced that it is not money at all, but a mere debt of Uncle Sam and that it is a mere demand for One Dollar in gold, and nothing more?
60029Are you ready to report now?
60029At what price?
60029But after all, is it not the very soul of the whole question?
60029But is it so?
60029But what I want to know now is how many of these meal tickets I''ve got out in one form or another?
60029But what have you to say about this National Bank Note here?
60029But who can estimate the indirect losses or depict the consequences of these bank failures?
60029But why should Boston be favored?
60029But why should borrowers in the smaller townships be forced to travel to their shire towns?
60029But will some advocate say"it is only the bank of all the other banks"?
60029But would any one go back to the days when they had to pay exchange upon a bank note every time they crossed a State line?
60029But, gentlemen, why could I not issue$ 10,000 of my bank notes against my bank credit, and keep the$ 12,000 or$ 15,000 of commercial paper?
60029But, suppose the question should arise and a man should ask, are these notes good?
60029Can any fair- minded, impartial man deny that the conditions today are vastly in favor of better results than they were then?
60029Can any intelligent man doubt the purpose of all these sham declarations and false pretenses?
60029Can anyone doubt that all of their banks and all of their business interests would have gotten all the money they wanted all the time?
60029Can it be possible that they can properly be called"currency"?
60029Can it be said that a measure like the one now pending before the Senate and the country is a measure of a day or an hour?
60029Can you give us the history of that system?
60029Can you, Mr. Banker?
60029Do n''t you admit that this is some sort or kind of money?
60029Do n''t you remember how Mr. Banker pounded that into us; and convinced us all, too?
60029Do n''t you see it''s half past ten o''clock?
60029Do n''t you think so yourselves?
60029Do n''t you think so, Mr. Banker?
60029Do n''t you think so?
60029Do n''t you think that a good and equally helpful business could be carried on by loaning money on city and urban property?
60029Do you all agree that that is a fair assumption under the circumstances?
60029Do you call it a good system?
60029Do you know I flatter myself that the common sense of the American people is the wealth of the country?
60029Do you know that I regard credit as one of the three greatest instrumentalities of modern civilization?
60029Do you mean to tell me it is not money?
60029Do you pretend, Mr. Banker, that all our Silver Certificates are not money either?
60029Do you recollect what you printed on that at the time you issued it, and have been printing on it ever since?
60029Do you see any objection to it, any flaw in it?
60029Do you think it is wise to continue these United States notes indefinitely, as a part of our bank reserves?
60029Does all this prove nothing to us?
60029Does anyone here deny that?
60029Does anyone of common intelligence believe that Aldrich ever changed his scheme below its throat?
60029Does not the fact that the United States Note and the Silver Dollar are legal tender, make them money?
60029Does not this alone create a state of emergency?
60029Does this transaction become a different transaction, forsooth, because it is carried out by a banker?
60029FIFTH NIGHT WHAT IS EXCHANGE?
60029For what would happen to this bank if we should send out such a letter to our depositors?
60029Have the Central Banks of England, France or Germany any power to maintain accounts and establish agencies in foreign countries?
60029Have you investigated it?
60029Have you men ever looked up bank failures in the United States?
60029How about that?
60029How can we do that?
60029How do you make that out, when we have only$ 750,000,000 of bank notes out?
60029How do you think James Gallatin, Moses Taylor and George S. Coe would have provided the money for carrying on the war?
60029How does that strike the rest of you boys?
60029How does this differ from the United States Notes or Greenbacks?
60029How many of those associations would there be in the United States?
60029How much infected meat would it take to do the harm, the damage to the American people that resulted from the panic of 1907?
60029How would you detect, check and stop that sort of thing?
60029However, what is it that you want to talk about?
60029I appeal to you men; am I not right about this matter?
60029I suppose we are through with the Clearing House now, are n''t we?
60029I want to know how many cans of pork and beans I have on hand to meet the meal tickets with?
60029If a bank wanted to take on a speculative deal, it could sell its commercial paper, could it not, and use the money for speculation just the same?
60029If left alone, we shall soon adopt these same principles, now in practice in Scotland, Ireland and Canada?
60029Indeed, the thing by which we are measuring the value of everything?
60029Is it not a fact that Canada has been just as free from these spasms and panics as any country in the world, and yet Canada has no central bank?
60029Is it not the natural sequel to this train of abuses to which the country has been treated?
60029Is it not true that our National Banks are now carrying 20 per cent reserves of which 17 per cent are cash?
60029Is that a correct definition of reserves?
60029Is this putting it too strongly?
60029It is gold, is it not?
60029It is this:"What is a Bank Note?
60029Just think of it; where would it stop?
60029Just what did you mean by that?
60029Just what do you mean by the"functions of money"?
60029Just where are we at now?
60029MANUFACTURER: He could refuse if he chose and demand legal tender, could he not?
60029MANUFACTURER: Just what do you mean when you say that a credit bank note currency will cost no more than a deposit account subject to check?
60029MANUFACTURER: Mr. Banker, have Bills of Exchange and bank acceptances been used very long, or are they something quite new and modern?
60029MANUFACTURER: These institutions you have named do not include the Trust Companies, do they?
60029MANUFACTURER: Well, I assume that we have another guess coming yet, have n''t we?
60029MERCHANT: Are the Canadians using this credit currency system?
60029MERCHANT: Gentlemen, have you estimated how much gold your plan would bring into the American Reserve Bank?
60029MERCHANT: Gentlemen, is n''t it marvelous how that currency adapts itself to the demands of the Canadian crop moving period?
60029MERCHANT: Have you any doubt about the people taking your bank notes, as you suggest?
60029MERCHANT: How is that?
60029MERCHANT: How many such institutions are there?
60029MERCHANT: How much gold is there in the world today?
60029MERCHANT: I am sure we all agree on that point now, but what about this silver certificate?
60029MERCHANT: I would like to ask you whether you think there is anything in this claim that gold is cheaper today than twenty years ago?
60029MERCHANT: Is it not a fact that credit transactions in business are increasing every year?
60029MERCHANT: Is it practical to have the zones conform to State lines?
60029MERCHANT: Is n''t that a simple and very easy thing to do?
60029MERCHANT: It is just a written acknowledgment of a debt, is n''t it?
60029MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, do you believe that to be a correct statement?
60029MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, just what are the influences that affect the movement of gold to or from the country?
60029MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, taking that explanation as correct, what would you say that our currency consists of?
60029MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, what amount, or percentage of reserves do you think a banker should carry?
60029MERCHANT: Now just what did you say; value, wealth, property, capital and credit?
60029MERCHANT: That is perfectly plain, but suppose that he could have sold the bonds, he would have gotten his money back, would he not?
60029MERCHANT: Uncle Sam, that''s pretty good preaching; but how are you going to apply it to this banking question?
60029MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Banker, how do you propose to keep credit within safe boundaries, and so insure sound business conditions all the time?
60029MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Banker, what is wrong with it?
60029MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Lawyer, what do you really think about the constitutional question now?
60029MERCHANT: Well, what is a token coin?
60029MERCHANT: Well, what would happen if, when the Supreme Court guesses again, it should guess right?
60029MERCHANT: What is that?
60029MERCHANT: What''s that?
60029MERCHANT: Where would this gold come from?
60029MR. BANKER: How do you make that out?
60029MR. BANKER: Mr. Lawyer, will you allow me to illustrate that distinction?
60029MR. BANKER: Well, Uncle Sam, do you think calling a thing something which it is not makes it that thing?
60029MR. BANKER: What about the gold supply for the future?
60029MR. FARMER: Did you say, Mr. Banker, that all the money there was in the United States were the gold coins?
60029MR. FARMER: How do you think it could have been avoided?
60029MR. FARMER: Mr. Lawyer, just what do you mean by a"standard of value"?
60029MR. FARMER: Then why in thunder do n''t we adopt it now?
60029MR. FARMER: Well, it then came out just as those men said it would, did n''t it?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: Accommodation paper?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: Do you really think that that can be done?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: Just what do you mean by the value of anything?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: Uncle Sam, why do you make these token or subsidiary coins?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: Well, Mr. Banker, do you know what I would do, if I had a deposit in your bank, under those circumstances, and got scared of you?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: What do you mean by Clearing House certificates?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: What do you mean by tying up the capital and deposits of a bank in mortgages and real estate?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: What''s legal tender?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: Where do I come in?
60029MR. LABORINGMAN: Yes, but you have seven districts in every one of your zones, do n''t you?
60029MR. LAWYER: Here is a gold certificate, is n''t that money?
60029MR. LAWYER: How long, O Lord, how long, shall we remain the laughing stock of the rest of the world?
60029MR. LAWYER: Mr. Banker, how would you fare under the Aldrich scheme, if you wanted$ 100,000 of currency to use to move the crops in the fall?
60029MR. LAWYER: Mr. Banker, what are subsidiary coins?
60029MR. LAWYER: Wealth, did you say, Uncle Sam?
60029MR. LAWYER: What difference does that make?
60029MR. LAWYER: Yes, I admit it; but does it smell any worse than oil has been smelling for more than twenty years?
60029Merchant?
60029Mr. Banker, how much of that kind of stuff have I got out?
60029Mr. Banker, what have you to say about our Silver Dollar?
60029Next Wednesday night let us investigate our currency and ask ourselves"What is currency?"
60029Now, at first thought, anyone would say that it would be safe to issue money for this value, or sixteen billion dollars; but who would redeem it?
60029Now, can you beat that as an illustration of our financial and banking needs?
60029Now, do n''t you think, Uncle Sam, that as a matter of business you''d better get rid of these demand debts, these United States Notes?
60029Now, what about that?
60029Now, what have you to offer in support of your theory by the way of any practical illustrations?
60029Now, what is the thing by which we are measuring the value of all credit?
60029Now, what more do you want?
60029Now, what would you think of running a hundred- ton engine, and that kind of a train of cars over a railroad built fifty years ago?
60029Of course we will be up against some legal difficulties, wo n''t we, Mr. Lawyer?
60029One naturally says to himself, if this plan of a Central Bank of issue is good enough for England and Germany, why should we not adopt it here?
60029Or, are you fellows like the Irishman, who said that he was kicking a dead dog to teach him that there was such a thing as punishment after death?
60029Possibly it was more this decision than pressure of business that called for the creation of an additional member of the Court-- was it not?
60029SECOND NIGHT WHAT IS MONEY?
60029SIXTH NIGHT VALUE, PRICE, WEALTH, PROPERTY, CREDIT UNCLE SAM: Well, boys, what about reserves?
60029THIRD NIGHT WHAT IS CURRENCY?
60029Tell me how much gold coin we have scattered about everywhere over the country?
60029Than certain United States senators have been made to smell?
60029Than robbing rebates smell?
60029That is, how would you prevent too much paper from some one merchant, or manufacturer, getting into the banks?
60029That is, what can you call a reserve?
60029That is, what is value anyway?
60029That would make two hundred and ninety- four districts, if you should have as many as forty- two zones, would it not?
60029UNCLE SAM: And you say I have$ 563,000,000 of silver dollars out good for nothing but token or subsidiary coin?
60029UNCLE SAM: By Jove, he''s hit the thing plump and square on the head, has n''t he, boys?
60029UNCLE SAM: Did not Mr. Laboringman just appeal to me to find out whether coöperative societies were going to have a fair show?
60029UNCLE SAM: Say, Mr. Banker, do you know what time it is?
60029UNCLE SAM: There, can you beat that as a precaution against accidents?
60029UNCLE SAM: Well, fellows, you see, do n''t you, that everything gets back, sooner or later, to the producer?
60029UNCLE SAM: What is the total amount of silver in the country then, of all kinds, silver dollars and pieces of silver less than one dollar?
60029UNCLE SAM: Yes, but I do n''t have to pay those National Bank Notes, do I?
60029Upon this evidence will any candid man say that the so- called National Reserve Association is not a Central Bank?
60029Was it at 5 per cent, 6 per cent, 7 per cent, 8 per cent, 9 per cent, 10 per cent?
60029We change it here, what is the result?
60029What Is Currency?
60029What Is Exchange?
60029What Is Money?
60029What are the principles involved?
60029What do you all say to that?
60029What do you think the effect would be upon our credit, with all these demand obligations outstanding?
60029What do you think, Mr. Banker?
60029What does experience show?
60029What doubt should there be of the urgency of this legislation?
60029What else can there be?
60029What have we not done under this clause of the Constitution and the general welfare clause?
60029What is Exchange?
60029What is a bill of exchange?
60029What is a check?
60029What is a draft?
60029What is a promissory note?
60029What is an acceptance?
60029What is it wise to do under the circumstances?
60029What is it?
60029What is property?
60029What principles, practices and methods will give us the very best financial and banking system in the world?
60029Where would you go for gold with your comparatively small capital and limited credit?
60029Wherein then is the farmer, the planter, the artisan benefited?
60029Whether it is falling in value, and as a consequence prices of everything else, which must be compared with gold, are rising?
60029Why can not 1907 suffice?
60029Why do we want to spend any time on that?
60029Why is that?
60029Why not relieve the millions of depositors from the anxiety they always feel about their money in the banks?
60029Why should it take another wasteful and degrading panic to impress Congress?
60029Why should n''t it, that''s the question?
60029Why should not a bank act just like any other merchant or trader, and adjust its stock of goods to the ever- changing conditions of its business?
60029Why, what does it propose?
60029Will any man assert that any country in the world has a better banking system than Canada has today?
60029Will any man in the United States deny that Canada has a vastly superior banking system to anything we have in the United States?
60029Will any one deny that promissory notes are property?
60029Will any one say that what we wanted during the years of 1913- 4- 5- 6- 7 was more inflation?
60029Will anybody declare that a bank has no property when it has a million dollars''worth of gold coin in its vaults?
60029Will anybody deny that a bank has property, although it may be the owner of one million dollars''worth of promissory notes?

60029Will anyone deny that silver is property?
60029Will anyone say that the prices in these various countries have in any way shown or reflected the amount of gold taken or absorbed?
60029Would anybody take a step that would substitute a local currency for a national currency of uniform character and quality?
60029Would n''t you think that that was idiotic?
60029Yes, suppose they are, what of it?
60029Your inquiries have always been: What are the facts?
60029of the Bank, nothing but a promise to pay five times twenty- five and eight- tenths grains of gold, nine- tenths fine, to the bearer?
35120Is my credit as good as it used to be, or is it less?

35120:_ M ´_,_ V_,_ V ´_, the_ p_''s and the_ Q_''s?
35120; if not, what discretion is usually given them?
35120A bill drawn in New York on France, on a bank, for instance, the Crédit Lyonnais, at Paris, and accepted by it, would it be admissible for discount?
35120A hundred people are talked about, and a thousand think--"Am I talked about, or am I not?"
35120A large percentage of the stock exchange business is really handled through the incorporated banks, is it not?
35120A large percentage of your funds is loaned on the stock exchange?
35120A part of your portfolio comes from rediscounting for banks?
35120Accordingly, the question"How far does the note issue under the new system seem likely to prove an elastic one?"
35120All are plausible, but which is valid?
35120All this, except the last, might be true, and yet would any man refuse his assent to the fact of the currency being depreciated?
35120And nothing that requires you to keep any reserve; that is, any amount of cash as against your liabilities?

35120As a matter of fact, a large part of the commercial banking in England is done by about a dozen institutions, is it not?
35120At a lower rate than the Bank of France?
35120At first, incipient panic amounts to a kind of vague conversation: Is A B as good as he used to be?
35120But how evenly are these resources distributed?
35120But not their stock?

38990But if we do n''t teach him a lesson now?
38990But is he here?
38990But is n''t that-- market- day?
38990But isn''t-- isn''t all this a little premature?
38990But no-- no loose papers?
38990But not many people would have been convinced?
38990But nothing done?
38990But our terms-- if you would allow me to explain them?
38990But surely,Arthur protested,"where a bank is able to show that it is solvent?"
38990But the bank?
38990But the notice has been given now?
38990But what about the game?
38990But what has happened?
38990But what have you a turn for? 38990 But what is it?"
38990But what, then?
38990But what-- what the devil is all this about? 38990 But when we have shaken the tree a little----""One may fall, you think?"
38990But when will there be horses?
38990But when-- when did you first, Clem?
38990But where is it?
38990But where was Thomas-- the man-- then?
38990But why are you here?
38990But why not? 38990 But why-- why in the world did you do that?"
38990But will the forty- five thousand be enough, sir?
38990But you are not hurt? 38990 But you ca n''t pay''em to- day, banker?"
38990But you did n''t expect that Mr. Griffin would come forward?
38990But you do n''t think that there is anything in what he said?
38990But you get as much?
38990But you see him?
38990But you''ll take your egg- flip, Mr. Griffin? 38990 But you''re not going to be angry?
38990But you''re not----"A partner in Ovington''s? 38990 But your face?"
38990But, Betty,in a coaxing tone,"little spitfire that you are, ca n''t you guess why I was short with Rodd?
38990But,he said, as if his mind were beginning to work again,"why should we-- take all this trouble?"
38990But-- but what can we do?
38990But-- but you do n''t mean that there may be a-- a failure?
38990But-- love?
38990But-- without his dinner?
38990By daylight? 38990 By whom, sir?"
38990Ca n''t Arthur get round him?
38990Ca n''t I put down penny for penny with Grounds? 38990 Can I do anything?
38990Can I have a word with you, sir?
38990Can you get away?
38990Can you pay''em all to- day?
38990Can you think of no way of getting it, sir?
38990Can you wear it?

38990Did he ask to see me, or----with an effort,"my nephew?"
38990Did n''t you know that? 38990 Did she say,"he asked, lowering his voice,"that he came from the bank?"
38990Did what?
38990Did you go in, father?
38990Did you hear where he was going to in Manchester?
38990Did your father send you?

38990Do you mean that you''ve brought back the money?
38990Do you mean that you''ve got any of the money-- here?
38990Do you mean the shares you pledged with us? 38990 Do you mean, sir,"she stammered,"that I am not to see Arthur?"
38990Do you mean----"Has this really shaken him? 38990 Do you see a box?"
38990Do you think I am going to have my daughter''s husband counterskipping in Aldersbury? 38990 Do you think him honest?"
38990Do you think, then,furiously,"that I am going to run away with it?"
38990Do you understand that your father is willing? 38990 Do you want me?"
38990Does anything matter beside this?
38990Eh? 38990 Eh?
38990Eh?

38990Good- bye?
38990Gracious goodness, ca n''t I see that? 38990 Ha''you done, girl?"
38990Ha''you got it?
38990Ha''you got them? 38990 Ha''you never deceived me?
38990Had I not better wait-- till you are over, sir?
38990Had n''t you better,said Josina from the darkness outside,"send Fewtrell to meet him with a lanthorn?"
38990Has my father called?
38990Have they brought it down over the eaves?
38990Have you brought the papers? 38990 Have you drawn a receipt?"
38990Have you had any hint?
38990Have you no ambition?
38990He did n''t tell you where he was going?
38990He is no loser by them, I hope?
38990He is, if----"If it comes to the worst? 38990 He married his master''s daughter, did n''t he?
38990He thought that, did he?
38990He told you this tale yesterday, did he? 38990 He''s a director, ai n''t he?"

38990How do you know? 38990 How do you know?"
38990How much will clear you? 38990 How much-- I mean, what extra amount of reserve,"he asked,"would make us safe?"
38990How much?
38990How was it possible I should not? 38990 How''s my account, sir?"
38990How''s your brother?
38990How, Betty? 38990 I can tell you how-- quite easily, if you will let me explain?"
38990I dare say you know my cousin?
38990I do n''t understand why you think that all this is coming upon us at a moment''s notice, sir? 38990 I hope to God it''s all right, sir?"
38990I suppose it''s old, sir?
38990I suppose you know?
38990I thought that he hated the bank?
38990I thought that you were going to thank-- Mr. Walker of Wolverhampton?
38990I want no message from him, d''you hear? 38990 I want to know what has opened your mouth?
38990I wonder why you''ve got such a color, Betty?
38990I''m afraid that there has been some difficulty,he said,"but I think now----""Have you given your uncle notice?"
38990I, sir? 38990 I?
38990I?
38990If I could have a word with you-- apart, sir? 38990 If I had your permission to speak to her, sir?"

38990If it is as bad as you say----"Bad? 38990 If the woman feels like that about it, why does she call up the money?"
38990If there is anything I can do?
38990If you will allow me to explain?

38990In gold, I think? 38990 In hard times did n''t we share''em and fair clem?
38990In the dumps, father?
38990In the event of the subscriptions exceeding the sum required, what day will suit you to allot? 38990 In whose favor, young man?"
38990Including Stocks?
38990Into Ovington''s?
38990Into the bank?
38990Is anything the matter?
38990Is everybody mad? 38990 Is he alone, Calamy?"
38990Is he dead?
38990Is he here, Woosenham?
38990Is he here, man?
38990Is he really so clever?
38990Is he? 38990 Is it Wolley?"
38990Is it his money or yours?
38990Is it not that which I am doing every day, Clem? 38990 Is it the banker''s son?"
38990Is it the money that is the trouble?
38990Is n''t Rodd here? 38990 Is n''t it painful?
38990Is n''t the stock mine?
38990Is the door closed?
38990Is the door shut, Rodd?
38990Is there a postboy here? 38990 Is there ink enough in the pen?"
38990Is there no hope, Clement?
38990It is blood,she said,"is n''t it?"
38990It''s that way, is it? 38990 Just a word, Mr. Ovington,"he stuttered,"a word, sir, by your leave?
38990Just that; but after all is n''t that worth doing? 38990 Knows all, does he?"
38990Late? 38990 Like the job, Arthur?"
38990Look here, Clement,he said more mildly;"what''s come to you?
38990Lord, now, who told you, mister? 38990 Love you?
38990Love? 38990 Man alive, why did n''t you say so?"
38990Managed it?
38990May I help you over the stile? 38990 Mean, master?
38990Might not worse things happen to us? 38990 More ways of killing a cat than drowning it, eh?
38990Morning? 38990 Mr. Bourdillon here?"
38990Mr. Bourdillon? 38990 Mr. Ricketts,"he said, singling out one,"you are here about those bills?
38990Mrs. Bourdillon has gone?
38990My coat?
38990My coat?
38990My father noticed it?
38990My good name?
38990My mother''s money, sir?
38990Never made love to you?
38990No harm?
38990No one within hearing, lad?
38990No papers?
38990No plum for me, I suppose?
38990No, but----"Projected?
38990No? 38990 No?
38990No?
38990Nobody up? 38990 Not a trade?
38990Not?
38990Nothing in it, man? 38990 Nothing in it?"
38990Nothing in it?
38990Now then?
38990Now, Mr. Medlicott, what do you want? 38990 Now?"
38990Of the Railroad? 38990 Oh, but,"she said,"a farmer?
38990Oh, it''s Clement now, is it?
38990Oh, it''s Mr. Bourdillon now, is it?
38990Oh, that''s it, is it?
38990Open? 38990 Ovington?
38990Parted with them? 38990 Pay me?
38990Perhaps if you and your brother went over it at your leisure?
38990Perhaps not, but if it did?
38990Perhaps,she said with naïvetà ©,"you would like to be a country gentleman?"
38990Pole''s? 38990 Posted?
38990Pretty full, I expect, eh? 38990 Put you out?
38990Release me from the bank, sir? 38990 Responsible as you are?"
38990Rise?
38990Rodd, why did you do it?
38990Rodd? 38990 Rodd?"
38990Said that, did he?
38990Sell?
38990Shall I break them, sir?
38990Shall I do it now, sir?
38990Shall I say forty- eight hours? 38990 Shall I tell him, sir?"
38990Signed and witnessed?
38990Sir Peter Pole and Co.? 38990 Sir?"
38990So he wo n''t face me? 38990 So it''s Rodd now?"
38990Squire Griffin?
38990Steam railroads?
38990Still rising?
38990Still, there is no sign of a change, sir?
38990Stolen property?
38990Summat? 38990 Swimmingly?"
38990Swimmingly?
38990Take this, Rodd, will you?
38990Tell me if that idle dog has cleaned them?
38990That loan of Mr. Griffin''s----"The twelve thousand? 38990 That would n''t do, would it?
38990That you said would pull us through? 38990 That you, Arthur?"
38990That''s what we''re coming to, is it?
38990That''s your virtue, is it? 38990 The Apple Tree?
38990The Secretary''s? 38990 The Squire?"
38990The black and white house, sir?
38990The chap you brought in this morning?
38990The railroad?
38990The truth is you have played truant, have n''t you? 38990 The young lady?"
38990Then could we not,Arthur asked,"by laying our accounts before our London agents obtain the necessary help, sir?"
38990Then go on at once, will you? 38990 Then he''s not to come to Garth, sir?"
38990Then the lad did n''t come up till after?
38990Then what is it? 38990 Then why should he want you?"
38990Then you have an opportunity of stating outside, that you have been paid? 38990 Then you have not missed the others much?"
38990Then you think-- you must think--Arthur''s voice was not quite under his control--"that there is danger?"
38990Then, Clement----"Well?
38990Then-- then I may speak to her, sir?
38990Then----"Oh,she prayed,"can we not go on as we are?"
38990There is no doubt that we are solvent, sir?
38990Thirty pounds a year? 38990 Thirty shillings?
38990This coat?
38990This is the seventeenth?
38990This? 38990 Those snowdrops?"
38990Time I knew it?
38990To Garth?
38990To go on doing nothing? 38990 To me?"
38990Trade?
38990Umph? 38990 Under notice?"
38990Unpopular? 38990 Unpopular?
38990Up the hill?
38990Wait? 38990 Walk?
38990Walk?
38990Walker or Watkins? 38990 Want to know how much I hold?"
38990We could realize the twelve thousand eventually?
38990We might bill him and cry him?
38990Well, I should have thought that he-- ain''t you wanted, Rodd?
38990Well, ai n''t they right?
38990Well, mebbe----"Mebbe?
38990Well, what do you know?
38990Well, what of it? 38990 Well, who axed me?
38990Well, you know,lightly,"what happened to the industrious apprentice, Betty?"
38990Well?
38990What I says, then-- excuse me-- is, if Grounds, why not me? 38990 What ails the girl?
38990What am I to do? 38990 What are you doing here, Betty?"
38990What are you doing?
38990What art talking about, girl? 38990 What be I to do?
38990What did I hear?
38990What did he say?
38990What did he tell you?
38990What do you make of it?
38990What do you mean, girl?
38990What do you mean? 38990 What do you mean?"
38990What do you mean?
38990What do you mean?
38990What does a thousand pounds weigh?
38990What else does he think?
38990What else? 38990 What ha''you been doing?"
38990What has frightened you, man?
38990What have we to do with him? 38990 What have you done to your coat?"
38990What is it, man? 38990 What is it?
38990What is it? 38990 What is it?"
38990What is it?
38990What is it?
38990What is it?
38990What is it?
38990What is that place?
38990What is the meaning of this?
38990What is to be done about him?
38990What other rubbish? 38990 What other way?
38990What shall I do? 38990 What the devil are you doing here?
38990What the devil do you mean, sir? 38990 What the devil has that to do with it?
38990What was it? 38990 What were you looking at so intently, Mr. Ovington, that you did not hear me?"
38990What will you give me to go instead?
38990What you suggest,he said, a faint note of sarcasm in his tone,"comes to this, Mr. Ovington-- that we pool resources?
38990What''ll I be the better? 38990 What''s amiss with him?"''
38990What''s amiss?
38990What''s come to you? 38990 What''s it all about?"
38990What''s that in return for a man''s life? 38990 What''s that?
38990What''s that?
38990What''s that?
38990What''s the matter now, mother?
38990What''s the matter?
38990What''s the matter?
38990What''s the matter?
38990What''s this they''re saying about Ovington''s, eh? 38990 What''s to be done?
38990What''s young Miss doing up there?
38990What, after all, do you know of-- love?
38990What, me? 38990 What-- what the devil do you mean, man?"
38990What? 38990 What?
38990What?
38990What?
38990When I saw you standing here? 38990 When?"
38990When?
38990Where d''yer come from?
38990Where is Arthur?
38990Where is he?
38990Where is he?
38990Where is she? 38990 Where is the hackney- coach?
38990Where is the rogue?
38990Where''s Arthur?
38990Where''s Clement?
38990Where''s Jos? 38990 Where''s Jos?"
38990Where?
38990Which field?
38990Which is the one you filched?
38990Which way? 38990 While you were supporting him?"
38990Who are you, my lad?
38990Who else, man? 38990 Who is it you want?"
38990Who is it? 38990 Who is it?
38990Who is it?
38990Who is it?
38990Who is that rude boy?
38990Who is this gentleman?
38990Who knows,with humility--"my lad''s a good lad-- what may come of it?
38990Who said anything about Garth? 38990 Who seized them?"
38990Who sent you?
38990Who told you-- this rubbish?
38990Who''s there? 38990 Who''s this?"
38990Who? 38990 Who?
38990Who?
38990Who?
38990Who?
38990Who?
38990Whose?
38990Why ca n''t he do it? 38990 Why did he take his own when we offered it?"
38990Why did n''t you tell me?
38990Why have you come after me? 38990 Why not, indeed?
38990Why not, lad?
38990Why not-- as you put the question, sir? 38990 Why not?"
38990Why not?
38990Why not?
38990Why should anything follow? 38990 Why should n''t he, child?
38990Why should there be? 38990 Why, begad?"
38990Why, the devil, did n''t you seize him?
38990Why, you idle, worthless vagabond, do you think that I do not know what you''re worth? 38990 Why,"innocently, as she lowered the knitting again,"he does not stand to lose anything, does he?"
38990Why-- why, surely you''re not going to turn against me?
38990Why? 38990 Why?"
38990Why?
38990Why?
38990Will he get over it?
38990Will he listen to you?
38990Will you come? 38990 Will you kindly give me the basket?"
38990Will you take it to him?
38990With me? 38990 Wo n''t it be too far, sir?"
38990Wolley wanted his notes renewed, I suppose?
38990Wolley''s Mill?
38990Would you have no man rise, sir?
38990Would you like my opinion, father?
38990Would you like that?
38990Wrong? 38990 You are aware that Poles''and Williams''s have failed?"
38990You are sure that you will be safe now?
38990You are sure-- sure that you are not hurt?
38990You are thinking of the Railroad, Purslow?
38990You believe him against me?
38990You believe me, you do believe me, do n''t you?
38990You could look him up?
38990You counted it, I suppose? 38990 You did n''t quarrel?"
38990You do n''t say so?
38990You do n''t think that there is anything wrong, dad?
38990You do n''t think we need another man?
38990You do think so?
38990You do?
38990You have n''t seen that I loved you?
38990You have n''t seen the mail? 38990 You have them here?
38990You haven''t-- you and Arthur-- made it up?
38990You heard what I said?
38990You held him up in the carriage?
38990You include Rodd, do you? 38990 You know Sir Charles and Mr. Acherley?
38990You may as well hear what Mr. Wolley has to say, though I have told him already----"What?
38990You may be called upon for another six thousand, then, sir?
38990You mean,he said,"that the bank ca n''t afford to take them?
38990You mean-- by G-- d, sir,the Squire broke out,"you mean that you will take my land whether I will or no?"
38990You remember that you signed a paper to try your pen? 38990 You sent for me, sir?"
38990You think we are old enough, Betty?
38990You want cash?
38990You want to carry your railroad over Garth?
38990You will save him if you can, Clement?
38990You wish to know if it''s safe?
38990You wo n''t cash them? 38990 You wo n''t forget that you''re in fault, Clem, will you?"
38990You would n''t wish to do it through Ovington''s?
38990You''ll leave the bank, of course?
38990You''re not agoing----"Do you hear? 38990 You''re surprised to see me?"
38990You''ve brought a cheque?
38990You''ve the securities?
38990You?
38990You?
38990''Bout the bank?
38990--peevishly--"what mess has the girl made now?"
38990A Mr. Coutts?
38990A Napoleon of- finance?
38990A bank?"
38990A friend?
38990A memory of what?
38990A pack of navigators upsetting the country, killing game and robbing hen- roosts, raising wages and teaching honest folks tricks?
38990A railroad?
38990A run once started-- have there been any withdrawals?"
38990A third had left Dean''s under a cloud, and if he quarrelled with Ovington''s, where was he to go?
38990Acherley?"
38990Agreed, gentlemen?
38990Ai n''t I to have my share of it?"
38990Ai n''t we alone?"
38990Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself?"
38990Ai n''t you getting what I''ve always given?"
38990All gone swimmingly, I hope, sir?"
38990All good notes, I suppose?
38990All there, is it?"
38990All well?"
38990Aloud,"What do you want, my man?"
38990And Arthur himself?
38990And Chirbury-- whose peerage he respected, since it was as old as his own family, if he thought little of the man?
38990And I signed it too, father, by mistake?
38990And I suppose that they all have to be there?"
38990And I thought, sir----""You thought you''d hold them for a bit more?
38990And I''m sure we do n''t want a lot of vulgar purse- proud----""Purse- proud?
38990And Josina?
38990And Josina?
38990And Miss Peacock?
38990And Ovington?
38990And Uvedale and Cludde?
38990And a desperate villain?
38990And am I, your daughter, to-- to accept him, the moment it suits him to marry me?"
38990And at whom was he hinting?
38990And do you think that I will not wait for you, wait until you have climbed up again, or until something happens to bring us together?
38990And do you think that when he can buy up half a dozen of these thickheaded Squires who can just add two to two and make four-- that he''ll not count?
38990And do, man?
38990And for the agreement, who but a fool would ha''signed such an agreement?
38990And get her a horse as you might call a horse?
38990And give me a-- a very small capital to----""To go and idle upon?"
38990And he and his?
38990And he found out through you, did he?
38990And he knows it, does he?
38990And he thought that?
38990And he would not listen to her protests that it was not Clement, that it was not Clement, it was she who--"He thought that?
38990And he''s told you this?"
38990And her love for whom?
38990And him double my size?
38990And his father, young man?"
38990And how am I to be sure it''s no worse?
38990And how be I to know?
38990And how the deuce have you come to be here-- by this time?"
38990And how was he going to extract his money, his six thousand, from this unreasonable old dotard-- for so he styled him in his wrath?
38990And how we loved?
38990And how-- how in the world was he to explain the matter to his uncle?
38990And if I have n''t dared to make love to you of late, surely you have known what was in my mind?
38990And if he obtained the money, what was he to do with it?
38990And if it could be made clear to him that he ran no risk?"
38990And if it gets about, sir?"
38990And if my customers do n''t pay cash-- as you know it is not the custom to pay-- where am I to get the cash to pay the wool men?"
38990And if such- an- one"went,"what of Blank-- with whom he himself had business?
38990And if the bank closed where''d I be?
38990And if the worst comes to the worst, your father''s told you, I suppose, that I ca n''t prosecute-- family name, eh?
38990And if you''re not going to get anything out of it, but to leave your own in, as I hear talk of-- what then?
38990And in her surprise"Clement?"
38990And lose you?"
38990And more than hope, for almost before he had crossed the threshold a sleepy boots came out of the bar and met him, and"Horses?
38990And no one here but you?"
38990And now profits are up, the world''s full of money, as I hear in Aldersbury, and be you to take all and us none?"
38990And now you''ve come to give me another dose of fine words to keep me quiet till the shutters go up?
38990And now-- what am I to say to your uncle?"
38990And now-- why, damme, what do you mean by it?"
38990And send for the cook, sir, and the two clerks-- to advise us?"
38990And set himself against coaches as you set yourself against the railroad?"
38990And she meant it?
38990And she was nesh, was she?
38990And talk of the Rights of Men and money- bags, eh?
38990And that''s all you think of, when at any minute your master-- oh, dear, dear, what can have happened to him?"
38990And the Squire-- what would he say?
38990And the other?
38990And their corn and their beans?
38990And then, again, what was this story about that unlucky night which had cost him his sight?
38990And there must be some reason?
38990And titivate her, and pull her ears bytimes same as you with your grand- darters?
38990And to Bourdillon, who had no more right to it than you had?
38990And to buy out my lord and drive your coach and four into Aldersbury, and splash dirt over better men than yourself?"
38990And to- day----""Why did n''t you tell me?"
38990And what I say is, if Grounds, why not me?
38990And what are the legs of a horse when it''s a race wi''ruin?"
38990And what if he is late?
38990And what is the Squire?
38990And what more secret?
38990And what security had he for those other things?
38990And what was it his uncle had said?
38990And when she did not reply to him at once,"Do you forget that he saved my life?"
38990And when she had done this,"Do you see that cupboard?
38990And when she had replied that she was there,"Where is Arthur?"
38990And when the lad had brought in the money, and the account was settled,"Are you returning to- night?"
38990And when they had left the man behind,"What does he want?"
38990And where''d he go but where he knows?
38990And who would be the loser?
38990And why had the man been silent about that night?
38990And with fifty thousand what could one not do?
38990And would he be able to find the door again?
38990And you are Miss Griffin, are you not?"
38990And you think he''ll make for Manchester?"
38990And you think to be one of them, do you?
38990And you want my leave?"
38990And you,"jealously,"when, sweet, did you first-- think of me?"
38990And, by the way, are you going to Garth on Saturday?"
38990And-- the sand?
38990Any other rats?"
38990Anything the matter with them?"
38990Are n''t you cold?
38990Are n''t you starving?"
38990Are they there?
38990Are you all asleep?
38990Are you going to?
38990Are you hurt?"
38990Are you minding me?"
38990Are you paying, or drawing?"
38990Are you sure?"
38990Arthur answered, good- humoredly,"and save yourself the trouble of two journeys?
38990As it was, for what was he spending himself and undergoing these hardships?
38990At Welshes?
38990At his son''s moniment as is at his elbow?
38990At last,"Did you call at your father''s?"
38990At last,"Do you wish me to do that?"
38990At last,"No one will lose, sir?"
38990At last,"Ovington''s son wants to marry you?"
38990Ay, and Acherley, who, rotten fellow as he was, was still Acherley of Acherley?
38990Ay, and earned it by a service as great as one man could perform for another?
38990Ay, when?
38990Ay?
38990Bank''s going, I hear?"
38990Because I''m going to charge your mother rent?
38990Before Arthur came up?"
38990Besides, I am riding Clement''s mare, and if I do n''t go, how is he to come back?"
38990Better leave five pounds to keep the account open?"
38990Between love of him and fear of the Squire, what was she to do?
38990Bevan?"
38990Boumphry?"
38990Bourdillon''s?
38990Bourdillon, will you take a note?
38990Bourdillon?"
38990Bourdillon?"
38990Bourdillon?"
38990Brownjohn?"
38990Brownjohn?"
38990Brownjohn?"
38990Business men?
38990But Betty?
38990But Clement?
38990But I ca n''t see"--Mrs. Bourdillon spoke with sudden sharpness,"what you have to do with it?"
38990But I never-- my dear sir, I never----""Authorized a sale?"
38990But Purslow and Grounds and Wolley?
38990But a fall-- a general fall at any rate-- what sign is there of it?"
38990But after a pause, during which she stood watching his face,"And if he does not recover his sight?"
38990But could he maintain his anger against one who had saved his life at the risk of his own?
38990But from this to noon to- morrow you will not do it in that time, my lad, at night?
38990But he bore the pang gallantly, for had not the boy earned his right to the money and to his own way?
38990But he concealed his satisfaction and a smile, and"Is n''t there a provision for calling it up?"
38990But his manner on the present occasion, and the way in which he closed the door, prepared Ovington for something new, and"What is it, Rodd?"
38990But honest?
38990But how long-- the doubt tortured him-- would it be his?
38990But if A. and B. and C. were also short, what then, lad?"
38990But if the money- bags crumbled and sank beneath his feet?
38990But if things went down, sir?
38990But if things were as bad as Acherley said, was even Dean''s safe?
38990But if you would prefer that it should be paid to Mr. Welsh-- my father thought that that might be so?"
38990But in the event of a sudden fall, of one big failure leading to another-- in the event of a sudden rush to present our notes?"
38990But lor'', master, a dark sullen chap with a black eye and legs a little bandy?
38990But perhaps you are a poet?"
38990But presently, and without warning,"Why do n''t you ha''the lad?"
38990But seven, or it might be ten?
38990But the agreement----""Agreement?
38990But the thing is done, and what am I to do now?
38990But what could she do to requite him, apart from her father?
38990But what if he repented later?
38990But what is it?"
38990But what victory?
38990But what''s the use of a postboy when there''s no horses?"
38990But where''d your profit be, if your father who rode post to London had stood pat where he was?
38990But whither?
38990But why, you ask, this sudden alarm-- now?
38990But would it have an odd look, Josina wondered, standing before the glass in her room, if she ran across to the Cottage for ten minutes about sunset?
38990But you have not given up hope?
38990But you''ve not brought the eggs?"
38990But"--Clement boggled a little over the considered phrase, he was nervous and his voice betrayed it--"he thought-- I was to say----""It''s all there?"
38990But"Do you hear?"
38990But, of course, if you are against me, if you are not going to help me----""How can I help you?
38990But-- a brace and a wood- pigeon?
38990But-- where is he?
38990But----""Eh?"
38990But----""What is it, sir?"
38990But----,"with a steady look at him,"which is the cook and which is the goose, Acherley?
38990Ca n''t you guess why I do n''t particularly love him?
38990Ca n''t you think of any way, sir?"
38990Calamy?"
38990Can I bring you anything up, sir?"
38990Can you do nothing with that boy?
38990Can you see nothing?
38990Capital, indeed?
38990Carry your eyes right of the hill, over the coppice at the corner of Archer''s Leasow?"
38990Cheek by jowl with every grocer and linen- draper in the town?
38990Clement came forward with his father''s invitation-- oysters and whist at five on Friday-- and his opinion on a glass of''20 he was laying down?
38990Clement had a retort on his lips-- for what could be more unfair than this?
38990Clement knew him, and"Is Mr. Bourdillon here?"
38990Come with you?
38990Confound him, what had the lad been doing?
38990Could he be right?
38990Could he hold out till Wednesday?
38990Could he refuse to pardon one, but for whom he would be already lying in his grave?
38990Could it?"
38990Could n''t you find a man?"
38990Could not Mr. Rodd go?"
38990Could there be a fool so foolish as to look at the matter thus?
38990Could they make, could they have made themselves, as he had?
38990Coward as well as rogue, is he?
38990D''you hear, sir?
38990D''you hear, wench?
38990D''you hear?
38990D''you hear?
38990D''you hear?
38990D''you hear?"
38990D''you know him?"
38990D''you know that he got to London in sixteen hours, in the night- time?"
38990D''you see it?
38990D''you see it?"
38990D''you see this?"
38990D''you think I do n''t know that there is something?
38990D''you think that that''s what I pay you for?"
38990D''you understand, girl?"
38990Dad"--brusquely--"what does he mean?"
38990Did Arthur?"
38990Did he take the oats?"
38990Did n''t Arthur tell you?"
38990Did not the proverb say that it was ill- work waiting for dead men''s shoes?
38990Did they mean to draw out the amount next morning?
38990Did they think to browbeat him?
38990Did they think to bully him?
38990Did you bring those deeds from Welsh''s?"
38990Did you ever see a greater change in men''s faces-- from what they were this time two years?
38990Did your father think that I could not be trusted to see things through?
38990Did''ee ever watch him in church?
38990Director of the-- oh, the Railroad Shares?
38990Do he make much of her, James Fewtrell?
38990Do n''t I tell you that I''ve spoken to the Squire?
38990Do n''t they say so?
38990Do n''t you know that your master is not in, and it is nearly eight?"
38990Do n''t you know they''re the worst of all?
38990Do n''t you know yet, mother, that Jos has no more will than a mouse?
38990Do you hear, Miss?
38990Do you hear?
38990Do you hear?
38990Do you hear?
38990Do you hear?
38990Do you hear?
38990Do you hear?
38990Do you hear?"
38990Do you hear?"
38990Do you hear?"
38990Do you know that your father is still out?
38990Do you know what Mr. Rodd says?"
38990Do you know?"
38990Do you mean it?
38990Do you mean that it was you who drove Thomas off?
38990Do you mean to say that I would?"
38990Do you mean-- he was there, Arthur?"
38990Do you mean-- quite blind?"
38990Do you say it''s over?"
38990Do you see that stable?"
38990Do you think I am going to be left alone, and the door open?
38990Do you think that they''ll be able to put him on one side?
38990Do you understand-- I do n''t think you do?
38990Does it matter?"
38990Eating my heart out-- doing nothing?"
38990Eh?
38990Eh?
38990Excuse me, have you heard?
38990Failing her?
38990Faint?
38990Fancy my credit''s good enough?"
38990Fetch her?"
38990Find you capital and see you loiter your life away with your hands in your pockets?
38990For he''s taking the plate to Birmingham to pledge, is n''t he?
38990For presently in a voice as dry as usual,"Do you see the gable of Wolley''s Mill, girl?
38990For what else was it?
38990For what?"
38990Four hundred and thirty, or thereabouts?"
38990Four thousand?
38990From Aldersbury?
38990Get you some water?"
38990Gittins?"
38990Give you capital?
38990Go back to the clodhopping life your grandfather lived before you and from which I lifted you?
38990Good heavens, if he said so much now, what would he have said in that case?
38990Got a barker, sir?"
38990Got your book?"
38990Griffin?"
38990Grounds?
38990Ha''you got that down?
38990Ha''you got the pen, girl?
38990Ha''you turned banker?"
38990Had he been rash?
38990Had he heard?
38990Had he in truth intended to beard him and claim her in the road that morning-- when they met?
38990Had he killed her?
38990Had it been really so?
38990Had n''t I better keep it till morning?"
38990Had n''t you better seal it, sir?"
38990Had not the Bank of England sent down a special messenger bearing unstinted credit?
38990Had she been blind, and had he been feeling all this while she guessed nothing of it?
38990Had the day''s work been too much for him?
38990Hallo, Rawlins, is that you?
38990Hang it, man, do you think I''ve nothing better to do with my money in these days than pay you fellows to the day?
38990Has he come?"
38990Has my father come?"
38990Have n''t I seen you blush like a rose when you looked at it-- many and many a time?
38990Have n''t spoken, but let her know?
38990Have we not always been meaning this-- you and I?"
38990Have you done anything?"
38990Have you heard anything about Wolley, Rodd?"
38990Have you heard anything?
38990Have you thought of that?"
38990Have you thought what you are saying?"
38990He came back to town with you?"
38990He could not hope to reach her, could not hope to gain her, could not in honor even aspire to her?
38990He felt himself capable of all, for had not all succeeded with him?
38990He gave you that punch in the face, I guess?"
38990He has given me leave to speak to you-- to ask you to be my wife?"
38990He has seen Clement----""Clement, eh?"
38990He may explain, sir?"
38990He owes his life to me, and that''s not a small thing-- is it?
38990He valued the good opinion of his world, and what, he reflected, if the Squire were right?
38990He was not unprepared, therefore, even for Clement''s rejoinder, and,"Miss Griffin?"
38990He went to raise the money with which he was entrusted----""Entrusted?"
38990He would extend, opening branches at Bretton and Monk''s Castle and Blankminster, and the railroad?
38990Help him?
38990Help the d-- d rascal who has robbed me?
38990Help, indeed?
38990Her mother?
38990Here?"
38990Hollow?
38990How account to him for his confidence in the issue?
38990How be I to know?"
38990How can I talk of such things when I remember----?"
38990How could I see you and not love you?"
38990How could he speak before the man?
38990How could he wrest himself from the inaction-- it must seem to her the ignoble inaction-- which pressed upon him?
38990How could they escape?
38990How could you-- love me?"
38990How did you do it?"
38990How is he, doctor?"
38990How is he?"
38990How long could he ensure it for others?
38990How much do you need for that?"
38990How much is there?"
38990How was he to get them?
38990How was this bill to be met, and who would renew that one?
38990How would he hold up his hands?
38990How would she bear it, how take it?
38990How would she bear it?
38990How would she meet, how bear the shock that a short hour must inflict on her?
38990How would you do it?"
38990How''s the wine?
38990How, then?
38990How?
38990Howsumdever, if you''ll give me your word you''ll act the gentleman?"
38990Hundreds, eh?"
38990I am late, am I?
38990I am sure that your father values him highly as a clerk, and would value him still more highly as----""What?"
38990I am to stand by and-- and play the coward still-- go on playing it?"
38990I did not mean to wear it again, but in my hurry----""Do you mean the night that my father was hurt?"
38990I did not think that you would rob another----""What do you mean?"
38990I do n''t think that there is anything else?
38990I have the plans here----""What do you want?"
38990I must go on waiting?
38990I see no way unless----""Yes, sir?
38990I suppose the bank will accommodate me by taking them?"
38990I suppose you are not in love, eh?"
38990I suppose you have the certificates?"
38990I suppose you know that much?"
38990I suppose, gentlemen, you would wish him to take his seat at once?"
38990I take it, it is all right, sir?"
38990I think that four or five hundred was mentioned?
38990I thought that to- night, with father just back----""I would n''t go?
38990I trust that that does not mean that you are-- making any change?"
38990I''ve been mayor twice and him not even on the Council?
38990If I do not seek you for my wife, what is before us?
38990If I had not made the business at which you do not condescend to work?
38990If Josina would not mind running down for it?"
38990If Woosenham knew his own business, and Acherley were not up to his neck in debt, they''d not let themselves be led by the nose by----""By whom, sir?"
38990If he borrowed it for a month, what harm would there be?
38990If he lost the footing, the one footing that money now gave him?
38990If in the crisis that was coming they toppled over, and his father failed, as he might fail?
38990If it really was young Ovington who had come to his rescue and beaten off Thomas, why had not Arthur said so?
38990If it were indeed he who had done the thing, why had he been quiet all this time, and never even said"I did it"?
38990If people thought that we were afraid----""We?
38990If she did, what ought he to do?
38990If so- and- so failed, would not such- an- one be in trouble?
38990If that is the way you look at it, why do you do it?
38990If there was going to be all this difficulty about the particulars, what about the certificates?
38990If you are prepared to do that?"
38990If you deceive me in this, wench-- what matter if the notes be short or not, or what comes of it?"
38990If you will bring them through to me-- yes, if you please?"
38990If you will look at the plans?"
38990In Bishopsgate?
38990In heaven''s name, why?
38990In that event, what might not be the end?
38990In the concern?
38990Instead,"How is he?"
38990Instead,"What?"
38990Is Acherley at the bank?"
38990Is Pugh there?
38990Is anything the matter?"
38990Is anything wrong?"
38990Is he here?"
38990Is he here?"
38990Is it Arthur?"
38990Is it as bad as that?
38990Is that little Jenkins-- Tom Jenkins of the Hollies?"
38990Is the door closed?
38990Is there enough ink in the pen?"
38990Is there no way of getting it?
38990Is there"--and Josina saw with compassion that her mittened hands were trembling--"is there anything-- wrong?"
38990It does n''t double----""Double itself in a month, Grounds?
38990It is his job, too?"
38990It is within my reach now, and surely, surely,"his voice shook with the fervor of his pleading,"you will not be the one to dash it from my lips?"
38990It was Bourdillon you asked for?
38990It was"Where''s Arthur?"
38990It went well?"
38990Jenkins?
38990Jos?"
38990Just bring me the note- issue book, will you?
38990Lizzie Clough said yesterday I''d a cast in one eye, but does it worry me?
38990Lord, man,"with a little contempt in his tone,"what do you do with your gun all day?
38990May we not send it for you?
38990Meanwhile,"Another cup of tea?"
38990Might you not die and I be left alone?
38990More of lucre than of love?
38990More of the heiress than of the sweetheart?
38990Most unlucky-- great scarcity of silver-- Government''s fault-- should they book it?
38990Mr. Acherley,"to the other,"pardon me, will you?
38990Mr. Ovington?
38990Mrs. Bourdillon did not, indeed, say when he entered,"What, here again?"
38990Must you all come to town?
38990My dear girl, do n''t you understand?
38990Nay, after this, would not he, too, rank as sound and staid and well established, he who had also ridden out the storm?
38990Never to look at his own son''s moniment?"
38990No Gibbons''or Garrards'', eh?"
38990No idea?
38990No man gave time, no man trusted another, and for those in the bank the question was, How long would they trust Ovington''s?
38990No other sign of returning credit, Rodd?
38990No turn for it?
38990No, they''ll not open?
38990No, you do n''t?
38990No?
38990Nor on the shelves?"
38990Not on no terms?"
38990Not to- day?
38990Nothing?"
38990Now I hear that he''s going to burst up, and where''ll you be, my lad?
38990Now have you all ready?
38990Now look down the valley-- d''you see five poplars in a row?"
38990Now look out, and tell me if they''ve finished thatching that wagoner''s cottage at the Bache?"
38990Now those notes with CO. on them they''re money anyways, I suppose?
38990Now, are you going to obey me, girl?"
38990Now, do you understand?"
38990Now, if he gave way, what would they say?
38990Now-- now that he''s in trouble, Josina?"
38990Of Wolverhampton?
38990Of course, if you are not----""What can I do?
38990Of misgiving?
38990Of what use was a warning when his lot was cast and he was the head and front of the matter, President of the Company, Chairman of the Board?
38990Oh, Bourdillon?
38990Oh, it''s Mr. Walker, is it?
38990One day it was,"What about your coat, lad?"
38990Open?
38990Or Clement?
38990Or Friday''s prices?
38990Or because fifty years ago I came into a cumbered estate and have pinched and saved and starved to clear it?
38990Or for the matter of that in your bank either?"
38990Or he-- against a Griffin?
38990Or if he were stayed farther up the road?
38990Or might I not die, and you lose me?
38990Or on the road?
38990Or perhaps-- if I called at Garth tomorrow?"
38990Or rather, why not now?
38990Or suppose that when they met before others, she blushed; or that they thought the meeting strange?
38990Or that any railroad that''s ever made will beat that?
38990Or that you were likely to do better?"
38990Or what he may n''t have done to you?
38990Or what risk?
38990Overtaking her in the hall,"Betty, what is the matter?"
38990Ovington''s was a new concern; was anything wrong?
38990Ovington?"
38990Ovington?"
38990Ovington?"
38990Ovington?"
38990Pay it into Dean''s?
38990Pay?
38990Peddle with pennies and sell ducks and chickens in the market?
38990Perhaps she did not comprehend, and,"Jos,"he said, inviting her to be serious,"do you understand that this is our parting?"
38990Poor Jos, indeed?
38990Presently, and more certainly,"Why did you have it-- at full cock?"
38990Presently,"Josina, what are you doing there?"
38990Presently,"When will you tell him?"
38990Pretty full?"
38990Put no sense into him?
38990Queen Bess, indeed, what were Queen Bess''s days to these?
38990Quite empty?"
38990Rodd''s?"
38990Rodd, Betty?"
38990Rodd?
38990Rodd?"
38990Rodd?"
38990Safe, ma''am, safe?"
38990Save his bank?
38990Saved?
38990See him?
38990Shall I go?"
38990Shall I lock up the counterpart-- downstairs, sir?"
38990Shall I see to it now?
38990Shall I write the letter for you to sign?"
38990Share with his men?
38990Share?
38990She avoided the question, and instead,"Then it was your coat that was spoiled?"
38990She clung to him, telling him of the coat, of the great stains that she had seen upon it; and at last,"Why did you hide this?"
38990She had not grasped the fact that the Squire had sanctioned his suit, and, controlling his voice as well as he could,"Are you really in earnest, Jos?"
38990She had seen to it that the fire was clear and the lamps burned brightly; had she not visited the room a dozen times to see to it?
38990She meant what she had written?
38990She was very, very unwilling to comply, but what was she to do?
38990Should he or should he not go to the bank?
38990Signed and witnessed, eh?"
38990Since the day that we cut our names on the old pew?
38990Sir Charles, will you sit on my right, and Mr. Acherley here, if you please?
38990So he''s sent him?"
38990So that was the point of it all, was it?
38990So that''s your story, is it?
38990So you did n''t go to London?
38990So, instead of snubbing her,"Why dreadful?"
38990Squire Acherley''s gone through on his bay, and Parson Hoggins with him, and''Where''s that d-- d young banker?''
38990Still, Clement thought it better to go with him, and in the stable,"Be you the gent that offered five pounds?"
38990Still, if he does not-- what then?
38990Suddenly,"Who was your grandfather?"
38990Suppose you lost us?"
38990Surely after services so notable-- and Lord, what luck he had had-- the Squire would be willing to listen to him?
38990Surely the Squire was not getting out of bed?
38990Take this over?"
38990Taken a loan of it for a month or two-- and for what?
38990Talked to your father and saw things differently?
38990That is how I understand you?"
38990That it is indeed his wish that we should marry?"
38990That next week we may be beggars, and my father a ruined man?
38990That was the long and short of it, was n''t it?
38990That was-- how would it be with him when he walked back?
38990That you?
38990That''s in your mind, is it?
38990That''s it, is it?
38990That''s right, is it?"
38990That''s understood, eh?"
38990That''s what you call it, is it?"
38990That''s what you mean, man, is n''t it?"
38990That''s what you''ve come for, I suppose?"
38990That''s your honesty that you brag so much about?
38990That''s your notion, is it, by G-- d?"
38990The lad''s straight and comely and a proper age-- and what else do you want?
38990The night you were-- hurt?"
38990The opportunity which he valued so highly, the opening on which he had staked so much-- was he to forfeit them through her folly?
38990The panel, right side of the fireplace-- are you minding me?
38990The parson, aged and apathetic, knew better than to cross his will-- had he not to get in his tithes?
38990The role of secret lover had charmed for a time-- what more shy, more elusive, more retiring than young love?
38990The sum is large, and-- and--"stammering a little--"but I think you will understand my position?"
38990The worst, is n''t it?"
38990Then another idea, hardly more welcome, occurred to him: had the banker come on his nephew''s account?
38990Then he found the answer, and"One of them, eh?"
38990Then lead the way, will you?"
38990Then sharply,"Where''s my nephew?
38990Then that''s all?"
38990Then what do you say to it?"
38990Then why did he take his money, when he knew how things stood?"
38990Then, after a moment''s thought, rattling the money in his fob,"Is Farmer coming to- day?"
38990Then, as the banker, lost in troubled thought, his eyes on the money, did not speak,"It goes badly then, sir, does it?"
38990Then, changing the subject abruptly,"What did Clement Ovington want?"
38990Then, covering her confusion as well as she could,"Mr. Ovington?
38990Then, for the risk, what was it, when examined?
38990Then, when?
38990Then, when?
38990Then, with an effort which cost him much, but which he thought was due to his position,"You are sure that you will take nothing?"
38990Then,"Tell me, father, why did Mr. Rodd take that money-- when you need all that you can get together, and he knows it?
38990Then,"You do n''t want me?"
38990Then,"You''ll stay to eat something after your ride?"
38990There may be a big subscriber taking three or four hundred shares?"
38990There was a twist o''plait round the cord?"
38990There was only one large account in the room-- should he call it up and pay it?
38990They are agents for sixty or seventy, are n''t they?"
38990They are hundreds, are they?
38990They are----""Wait?"
38990Thin papers?
38990Things are as bad as that, are they?
38990Thirty pounds a year?
38990This was not lessened when the old man asked,"How long has this been going on, eh?"
38990Though I told Jane to tell him----""Who is it?"
38990Thought better of it, eh, young man?
38990Three months, eh?
38990Three thousand a year?
38990Thursday, Sir Charles?"
38990Till Thursday?
38990To be sure, it''s Mr. Ovington, is n''t it?
38990To join them and be another Peel, or one of Pitt''s money- bag peers?
38990To pay''em all down on the nail,"truculently,"and tell''em all to go and be hanged?
38990To rob hundreds instead of borrowing from one money that you know will be returned-- returned with interest in a month?
38990To wait for eight or ten years, dependent on the whims of an arbitrary and crotchety old man?
38990To what can we look forward?
38990To what future?
38990Unless?"
38990Unwarily he jumped out of his chaise, and"No horses?"
38990Up?
38990Very unfortunate, indeed?"
38990Very urgent?
38990Walker of Wolverhampton?
38990Walker?"
38990Was Arthur working against him in his own house as well as opposing him out of doors?
38990Was he gone?
38990Was it a trick?
38990Was it some one we''ve obliged?
38990Was it true that the young spark was thinking more of Garth than of the girl?
38990Was n''t he hand in glove with them?
38990Was n''t he the oldest present, and was n''t it his duty to stop this folly if he could?
38990Was she to go back on it?
38990Was this of a piece with them?
38990We are all agreed, I think, that such a railroad will be a benefit to the trade and district?"
38990We are not ruined yet?"
38990We have not arranged that, I think?"
38990Well, if he does, what then?
38990Well, is n''t the Cottage mine?
38990Well, lad?"
38990Well, suppose we say the money to be paid and the articles of partnership to be signed four months from now?"
38990Well, tell me as he told you, do you hear?
38990Well, where be he a- looking?
38990Well?"
38990Well?"
38990Welsh?"
38990Were they going to open?
38990Were we not made for one another?
38990What I want to get from him is-- has he anything definite to tell us?
38990What a little island of light they make among the brown leaves?"
38990What about it?"
38990What ails her?"
38990What am I then but a coward?
38990What are they at, lad?"
38990What are we in this room?
38990What are you doing here, girl?
38990What are you doing?"
38990What are you starving the house for, standing there?"
38990What bad news?"
38990What became of him?"
38990What can have become of him, child?
38990What can he do, simpleton?"
38990What could come of it?
38990What could he be doing?
38990What could he do?
38990What did Arthur tell you?
38990What did he tell you-- this morning?"
38990What did it matter whether a few more or a few less pounds had been drawn out, whether the drain had waxed or waned in the last quarter of an hour?
38990What did it mean?
38990What did the rogue mean?
38990What did you get?"
38990What did you hear, sir?"
38990What do you know of it?
38990What do you make of it?"
38990What do you mean?"
38990What do you mean?"
38990What do you say to it?"
38990What do you want?"
38990What else do you want, eh?
38990What end?
38990What good can you do, standing out there?
38990What had I better do?
38990What had aroused the mother''s misgivings?
38990What had brought that look of alarm to her eyes?
38990What had he done, after all, at which they need made mouths?
38990What had he done?
38990What has bought you up?
38990What has the lease to do with it?"
38990What have you done?
38990What if in going into this scheme he had made a mistake?
38990What if the Squire had repented of his generosity?
38990What if the help, heaven- sent, beyond hope and beyond expectation, which had removed their fears, were after all to fail them?
38990What if there were no horses at Meriden?
38990What if there were not enough to go round?
38990What if you have to begin the world again?
38990What is in it?"
38990What is it that is amiss with you?
38990What is it to them what I hold?
38990What is it, lad?"
38990What is it, man?
38990What is it, man?"
38990What is it, may I ask?"
38990What is it?
38990What is it?
38990What is it?
38990What is it?"
38990What is it?"
38990What is it?"
38990What is it?"
38990What is it?"
38990What is it?"
38990What is the total?"
38990What is the worth of my love, Jos, if I have not the courage to ask for you?"
38990What is there in it?
38990What joke is this?
38990What lips first let drop the fatal syllables, a fall?
38990What makes you think that things are going down?"
38990What mare''s nest, what bee in the bonnet, was this?
38990What might he not do, what might he not have it in his mind to do?
38990What might not already have happened there?
38990What next?
38990What other money is there, that''s due?
38990What the devil do you mean?"
38990What the devil have we in this room to do with popularity?
38990What the devil is he doing in your Company?
38990What took you-- to back up that ass in the bank just now?"
38990What was happening there?
38990What was he going to do?
38990What was he going to say?
38990What was he to do next?
38990What was he to do?
38990What was in his mind?
38990What was it in his power to do?
38990What was this run?
38990What would Woosenham say of it?
38990What would her father say?
38990What''ll they say of you then-- and of us?"
38990What''s a paltry thousand or two thousand?
38990What''s all this, if it''s over and-- and done with?"
38990What''s amiss with her, eh?"
38990What''s come to you?"
38990What''s he doing there?"
38990What''s that?
38990What''s up?"
38990What, rob his children for fear of a stuffy old man''s black looks?
38990When I left them----""Yes?"
38990When she had gone he sought under the pillow for his keys, and after handling them for a time,"Is the door shut?
38990When she heard his footsteps on the road,"Is it you?"
38990When was she going to summon Clement, and give him leave to speak?
38990When''s that money due?"
38990When?
38990Where are you going?"
38990Where are you?"
38990Where be the common?
38990Where did the Squire keep the title deeds of Garth?
38990Where does that lead to?"
38990Where is he to- day?"
38990Where is he?"
38990Where is the girl?
38990Where shall I sell my coach- horses and hackneys and my tenants their heavy nags?
38990Where was felt the first shiver of distrust?
38990Where was it?"
38990Where was the gaffer?
38990Where would the Railroad scheme be?
38990Where''ll you be?
38990Where''ll you draw the line?
38990Where''s Clement?"
38990Where''s Jos?"
38990Where''s the pen?"
38990Where''s your arm?
38990Which way, sir?
38990Whither?
38990Who else?"
38990Who has dared to raise his eyes to my girl-- a Griffin?
38990Who is he?"
38990Who is it?"
38990Who it was?"
38990Who should he be?"
38990Who the devil is this man Ovington?
38990Who the devil wants you?"
38990Who was he?"
38990Who was it who whispered the first word of doubt?
38990Who was it?"
38990Who''ll lose, man?"
38990Who''s to stop me between here and Garth?"
38990Who?
38990Whom can he trust now, Arthur?"
38990Why did n''t you?"
38990Why do you do it?
38990Why do you want to mix yourself up with him?
38990Why had he been silent about the bank''s difficulties and the peril in which his money stood?
38990Why had he sent for his daughter?
38990Why not have everybody''s?
38990Why not me, sir?"
38990Why should I?
38990Why should it not restore him a second time?
38990Why should they escape?
38990Why should we stop him?"
38990Why should we----""Stop him?"
38990Why, Lord ha''mercy on us, where would you find such another, young and pretty and all, and Garth in her pocket?
38990Why, confound it, man, what are you afraid of?"
38990Why, damme, Woosenham, if_ we_ do these things, if we once begin to go on''Change''and sell and buy, where''ll you draw the line?
38990Why, hang their infernal impudence,"wrathfully,"do they think their business must come before everybody''s?
38990Why, if I''ve----""Quakers?
38990Why, if Ovington lives another ten years what do you think that he will be worth?
38990Why, man,"in astonishment,"are you tarred with the same brush?"
38990Why, man,"with bravado, though Clement fancied that his eyes wavered and that the brag began to ring false,"what have I done?
38990Why, man?"
38990Why, oh, why were there such things as banks in the world?
38990Why-- why, I do n''t know what to say to you?"
38990Why?"
38990Why?"
38990Wi''that young man?"
38990Will he be the same man again?"
38990Will that serve you?
38990Will you leave the bank when you can, young man?"
38990Will you see them, sir?"
38990Will you see to that, Bourdillon?"
38990Will you see, Bourdillon, if all is ready in the bank?"
38990Will you sit here, Jos?"
38990Will you tell him that his assistance has been of material use to me, and that I shall not forget it?
38990Will you try it on this?
38990Winter time, too?
38990With fifty thousand pounds, free money, added to the bank''s resources, what might not be done?
38990Without warning?"
38990Without warning?"
38990Wolley?
38990Work for her, wait for her, live for her?
38990Would Arthur ever thank him?
38990Yapp?"
38990Yapp?"
38990Yes, Bourdillon?"
38990Yes, Rodd?
38990Yes?"--anxiously--"well?"
38990Yet if he left it at Ovington''s and it were lost, what then?
38990Yet what could he do?
38990Yet what could he do?
38990Yet why did not the Squire come?
38990Yet, what other course was open to him?
38990Yet-- why not?
38990You are anxious about the Railroad money?
38990You are one of these moneyed gents, I suppose?
38990You are pleased with Clement, father, are n''t you?
38990You are sure that it was Thomas?
38990You do n''t doubt that?
38990You do n''t mean it, sir?
38990You do n''t mean that you''ve changed your mind, and you so fond of her?
38990You do n''t understand me?
38990You do n''t want to talk to the village, I suppose?
38990You ha''got the certificate?"
38990You have been with us-- how long?
38990You have gone over to that prig, have you?
38990You know that your cheek''s bleeding?"
38990You know that?"
38990You remember?
38990You there?
38990You understand?"
38990You will do your best to forgive me?"
38990You wo n''t forget that, will you?"
38990You''ll not forget that, Woosenham?
38990You''ll take a bed?"
38990You''ll take them, I suppose-- for cash, of course?
38990You''re on?
38990You''ve a tongue, I suppose?"
38990You''ve heard, I suppose?
38990Your clean hands?
38990Your father-- your father has sent you?"
38990but I am not aware, sir, that this is---- Surely a railroad is on another footing?"
38990he retorted, contemptuously,"Do you think that she will give evidence against me?
38990heavily,"what have you come to say?
38990losing all control over himself,"you do n''t think my support worth buying, do n''t you?
38990roughly-- for how could he meet this save by bluster?
38990she wailed,"what have you brought us to?
