But after all, Edward, I mustn't quarrel with the mere form of your accounts; the statement is really a splendid showing.

I see that not only is our mortgage and debenture interest all paid to date, but that a number of our enterprises are making a handsome return.

I notice, for example, that the Girls' Friendly Society of the church not only pays for itself, but that you are able to take something out of its funds and transfer it to the Men's Book Club.

Excellent! And I observe that you have been able to take a large portion of the Soup Kitchen Fund and put it into the Rector's Picnic Account.

Very good indeed.
