He felt sure that something was wrong.

A good many things in Freeling's conduct of late had seemed strange.

After thinking for a while, he determined to take the notes at once to Mr.Dinneford and ask him if all was right.

As soon as his mind had reached this conclusion he hurried through the work he had on hand, and then putting his bank-book in his pocket, left the store.
On that very morning Mr.Dinneford received notice that he had a note for three thousand dollars falling due at one of the banks.

He went immediately and asked to see the note.
