They all went around to a well-known institution on the Bowery, and
Peter interviewed the cashier. It proved feasible to endorse over the
check to the bank, and credit the proper share to each.
"I shall have to ask you to give me the odd two hundred and fifty,"
Peter said, "as that is my legal fee."

president, who had been called into the consultation.
"Very well," said Peter. "I shall want some of it before long, but the
rest will be very well off here." So a book was handed him, and the
president shook him by the hand with all the warmth that eight thousand
two hundred and fifty dollars of increased assets and four new
depositors implied.
Peter did not need to draw any of the two hundred and fifty dollars,
however.
