Suppose I gave you the job of collecting my rents down east." "Weekly rents ?" "Weekly.

It's a rough quarter, and they're a shady lot of customers.

Your commission would be seven per cent.

You might reckon, I dare say, on five-and-thirty shillings a week." "What is the day for collecting ?" "Mondays; but there's lots of 'em you'd have to look up several times in a week.

If you like I'll go round myself on Tuesday--Easter Monday's no good--and you can come with me." "I will go, by all means," exclaimed Waymark Talk continued for some half-hour.
