; and so, in substance, said they all. Even Mr. Hardcap acquiesced, though with a mild protest against modernextravagance. "Well, gentlemen, " said Mr. Wheaton, "this is just what I expected;yes, let me say, just what I was sure of. In fact, I told Mr. Laicushe might depend on having $1, 500 a year; but he was not satisfiedwith my assurance-he wanted yours. I hope he is satisfied. " "Excuse me, " said I, "if I seem unreasonable, but I am notsatisfied; and I should certainly have been so with Mr.... Wheaton'sassurance. I never doubted that he was good for $1, 500 a year. But, in dealing with a church board, to be frank, I want to know wherethe money is coming from. Pray, Mr. Treasurer, what was our incomelast year?" The Treasurer murmured something about not having his accounts. "In round numbers, " said I. "Between fourteen and fifteen hundred dollars. " "And our expenses?" "Not far from eighteen hundred dollars. " "And, pray, how, " continued I, "was the deficit made up?" A part, it appears, was made up by a special subscription, and apart is still due as floating debt, and part went in to increase themortgage.
