The figure was stiff; but the signature was good for more than that if it was only genuine. I took the liberty of pointing out to my gentleman that the whole business looked apocryphal, and that a man does not, in real life, walk into a cellar door at four in the morning and come out with another man’s cheque for close upon a hundred pounds. But he was quite easy and sneering. ‘Set your mind at rest,’ says he, ‘I will stay with you till the banks open and cash the cheque myself.’ So we all set off, the doctor, and the child’s father, and our friend and myself, and passed the rest of the night in my chambers; and next day, when we had breakfasted, went in a body to the bank. I gave in the cheque myself, and said I had every reason to believe it was a forgery. Not a bit of it. The cheque was genuine.”
その姿は硬かった。 しかし、署名が本物であれば、それ以上の価値がありました。 私は紳士に、この勤め全体が偽りに見えること、そして現実の生活では、朝の 四時に地下室の扉に入り、他人の 100 ポンドくらい小切手を持って出てくるような人間はいないだろうと、紳士に指摘することにしました。 しかし彼は非常に気楽で冷笑的でした。 「安心してください。銀行が開くまで一緒にいて、小切手を自分で換金します。」それで私たちは、医者と子供の父親と友人と私全員で出発し、残りの夜を私の部屋で過ごしました。 そして翌日、朝食を食べると、全員銀行へ行きました。 私は小切手を自分で提出し、それが偽造であると信じる十分な理由があると言いました。 それは少しもありません。 小切手は本物だった。」
