Capitolo 11
bus that he/she takes down to the luxe of de of train for Paris. However,
a man of the world accepts what a lady tells him, any matter as
unlikely; and I confess, for ten days or so, I thought anybody more
around her or the Clairvoyant or.
At the end of that time our fortnightly passage-book came in from
the bank in London. It is part of my duty as the millionaire
secretary, to constitute once this book for two weeks and to compare
the cheque annulled with Mr. Charles' counterfoils. On this
particular occasion that I am happened to observe what I can only describe
as a very serious discrepancy,--in fact, a discrepancy of 5000 pounds.
On the wrong side, also. Mr. that Charles has been debited with 5000 pounds
more than the total amount that has been shown on the counterfoils.
I examined the book with care. The source of the error was obvious.
It placed in a cheque to Same or Carrier, for 5000 pounds signed from Mr.
Charles, and it evidently paid through the box to London, as it was born

I called in my brother-in-law from the saloon to the study. "Glance
here, Charles" I said me, there is a cheque in the book that You
you/he/she has not entered." And I gave him/it for him without comment, for me
thought is probable that you/he/she would have been drawn for establishing some small loss on the
grassy carpet or to cards, or to do on the other bargain he didn't desire
to mention to me. These things will happen.
He looked at him and it fixed very hard. Then he was knitted on the mouth and
gives a "low and long Whew!" He finally turned him/it on and remarked,
"I say me, Sey, my boy that we have done we take with the good ones as soon as well brown,
doesn't have us?"
I threw a look to the cheque. "How does he/she want to say?" I asked.
"Because, the Clairvoyant", he responded, while still staring sorrily at it. "ME
you don't mind the five you., but to think the individual should have
filled with smoke the pair of us likes that--ignominious, I call him/it!"
"How does he/she know that it the Clairvoyant is?" I asked.
