e was treading made him wonderfully watchful,suspicious,lunettes oakley soldes and sagacious. He said to himself,What has come to Skinner.I must know. So he quietly watched his watcher; and soon satisfied himself he suspected something amiss. From that hour Skinner was a doomed clerk.
It was two o'clock: Hardie had just arrived,and sat in the parlour,Cato-like,and cooking.
Skinner was in high spirits: it was owing to his presence of mind the bank had not been broken some hours ago by Maxley. So now,while concluding his work,he was enjoying by anticipation his employer's gratitude. He can't hold aloof after this,said Skinner; he must honour me with his confidence. And I will deserve it. I do deserve it.
A grave,calm,passionless voice invited him into the parlour.
He descended from his desk and went in,swelling with demure complacency.
He found Mr. Hardie seated garbling his accounts with surpassing dignity. The great man handed him an envelope,and cooked majestic on. A wave of that imperial hand,and Skinner had mingled with the past.
For know that the envelope contained three things: a cheque for a month's wages; a character; and a dismissal,very polite and equally peremptory.

That we do not,replied Skinner sharply: if we stay together we are friends; but we part enemies,if we do part.
As you please,Mr. Skinner. I will detain you no longer.
And Mr. Hardie waved him away so grandly that he started and almost ran to the door. When he felt the handle,it acted like a prop to his heart.
