ABSTRACT
Ormond was wakened at the proper hour - went immediately to****’s bank. It was but just open, and beginning to do business. He had never been there before - his person was not known to any of the firm. He entered a long narrow room, so dark at the entrance from the street that he could at first scarcely see what was on either side of him - a clerk from some obscure nook, and from a desk higher than himself, put out his head, with a long pen behind his ear, and looked at Ormond as he came in.
