Then you think, Ben, that it would help him, help
CaptainCummings if I resigned now, at once? She had been cool and very brief in
announcing her resignation.
Her leaving that employ caused little or
none.
Hallhad been intensely disagreeable that one
morning.
And you fellows all agreed her helpin with our
books wouldbe a wonderful thing for the bank.
The shadow of the lampshade fell upon her face and
she was thankfulfor it. At any rate,the resentment against him is growing. And you

No, he hasnt told any one, youmay be sure of that.
He told Captain Freeman that and Freeman was, as Cummings expectedhim to be, very
much disturbed.
No, he replied, with an attempt at a
smile.
At any rate,the resentment against him is
growing.
He was unusually kind and better temperedthan he
had ever been, to her. When I spoke to her she did sameas she did before, went right
to Mr. Just a little impatientsometimes, that is all.
David Cummings letter was addressed to the
Denvercorrespondent. Hall would scarcely go so far as to say just that.
He dropped all the letters in thepost office as he
walked to the wharf after leaving the bank. Allie, now, he mightbe offered a good
place somewhere else.
You ought to be proud of him and of course you are.
And there was something fishy about Ben Brewster. His behavior was the one
unpleasant item connected with her work.
How is Mary gettinalong with her work nowadays?
Brewsters record,character, credit, anything and everything. Jones was notlikely to
be a perfect bookkeeper, he never had been, but he woulddo for the present. No, he
hasnt told any one, youmay be sure of that.
Allie, now, he mightbe offered a good place
somewhere else. Denver was one of the western citiesupon the list he had handed
Philander Cahoon the day before. No, he hasnt told any one, youmay be sure of
that.
Good thing if we were all old baches like
you,Dave.
His behavior was the one unpleasant item connected
with her work. He gave up his book businessshortly after his marriage.
Well, I think I know more about him than you or
Captain Cummingsdo, and I do like him.
There was much more, all rather involved and not
verydefinite. That particular storm was weathered, he believed.
