But alas! how happened it that this sum was in my hands?
Because I had borrowed five thousand from the bank! If they wouldn't let their own manager overdraw, whom would they?
So I overdrew.

But if this money wasn't back before the monthly balancing, Jones would know! And I dared not rely on being able to stop his mouth again.

When I said Johnny Carr was the only honest man in Aureataland I forgot Jones.

To my grief and annoyance Jones also was honest, and Jones would consider it his duty to let the directors know of my overdraft.

If once they knew, I was lost, for an overdraft effected privately from the safe by the manager is, I do not deny it, decidedly irregular.
