ranged in columns headed by figures
representing hours and half-hours, and
he began his penciling in the $3.50 row.
First he jotted down $3.50 for buggy
hire, then Is cents for stamps, So cents
for car fare, SLIGO for express package,
S1.1O for kilograms, so cents for a
trunk strap 5 cents for a paper and a
quarter for messenger service. Down
