When I go out in the day, I hand them over to the assistant, to make the payments, but the making up of the details and so on, I do myself at night.

Does he satisfy himself as to the correctness of the entries?

Well, I have done with the matter, if the money in the drawer corresponds with the accounts.

Does he allow any entry to be put in as expenditure without satisfying himself that it has been properly expended?

I don't trouble myself whether it is a correct payment or not. There is a master in the firm, who besides this, makes an examination every two days.

As long as the book balances with the cash account, you are satisfied, are you?

Yes.

Everyone is not allowed to make an entry in the book.

It is only we two that make entries in the book.

There are three he has named today.

No, not three, only two.

I think, Dr Atkinson, he has only mentioned one other man who has made entries in the books, and the others are the names of men who are partners in the firm. The best thing is to ask him that question.
