First Sentence: "It will have ot be done," said John Crisp, the senior partner of the firm of Crisp & Co., to his head clerk, Aleck Bell, as he stood leaning thoughtfully upon his desk, his long, slim, white hand stroking and restroking his snowy beard, with a certain air of nervousness that was his habit when annoyed.
Last Sentence: "Crisp Company's valentine" had often been quietly commented upon among the clerks, and not one was surprised when each received an invitation from the kindly banker to attend his wedding, which took place just two months after, on the 14th of April, from his sister's house, Miss Harlin became Mrs. John Crisp, and the head clerk's lady-love had been installed in her place in the bank two weeks when the wedding came off.
