She and I, Volume 2

CHAPTER TEN
5/14

My duty would be to take in money--exactly what I liked! That's what took my fancy so amazingly--"tickled" me, as Artemus Ward would have expressed it--so I repeat it! Brown of Philadelphia was the soul of honour, as well as distinguished for his smartness and benevolence.

He did not want to impose on _me_, bless you! No; on the contrary, he gave me a reference to a large bank "down town," and also to a notorious shoddy celebrity who lived "up" town,--to the former of which I went, making inquiries as to his stability.
Certainly, they knew Mr Brown of Philadelphia.

Had a large balance at present in their hands.

As far as they were aware--must be reticent in commercial matters, you know--perfectly responsible party.

Could I have taken any further precaution?
I think not, after this statement.
Quite satisfactory, wasn't it?
I did not go to shoddy character in Fifth Avenue, because it was a horribly long pull there in the street "cars:"-- thought bank reference sufficient, wouldn't you?
Perfectly satisfactory, I thought; and told Brown of Philadelphia so at our next meeting, when I lunched with him by appointment.
We next went to see the office--our office--in Broadway, afterwards.
Just the thing--possibly a trifle small; but then we could enlarge in time, eh?
Not the slightest doubt.
