"I sympathize with your position.

Having known your father and being well acquainted with your guardian, would you be satisfied if I should take the responsibility of issuing to the clerks an order not to allow anything to be drawn from the private account until the settlement of the estate ?" "Perfectly satisfied," said Linda.
"It might be," said Mr.Worthington, "managing matters i that way, that no one outside of ourselves need ever know of il Should your sister not draw on the private account in the mean time, she would be free to draw household cheques on the monthly income and if in the settlement of the estate she turns in this private account or accounts, she need never know of the restriction concerning this fund." "Thank you very much," said Linda.

"That will fix everything finely." On her way to the street car, Linda's brain whirled.
"It's not conceivable," she said, "that Eileen should be enriching herself at my expense.

I can't imagine her being dishonest in money affairs, and yet I can recall scarcely a circumstance in life in which Eileen has ever hesitated to be dishonest when a lie served her purpose better than the truth.

Anyway, matters are safe now." The next day the books were taken and a cheque for their value was waiting for Linda when she reached home.
