It came in my thoughts one morning that I would go to the bank myself, where I had often been to receive the interest of some bills I had, which had interest payable on them, and where I had found a clerk, to whom I applied myself, very honest and just to me, and particularly so fair one time that when I had mistold my money, and taken less than my due, and was coming away, he set me to rights and gave me the rest, which he might have put into his own pocket.
Il me vint à la pensée, un matin, d'aller moi-même à la Banque, où j'étais souvent venue recevoir l'intérêt de quelques billets que j'avais, et où j'avais trouvé le clerc, à qui je m'adressais, fort honnête pour moi, et de si bonne foi qu'un jour ou j'avais mal compté mon argent et pris moins que mon dû, comme je m'en allais, il me fit remarquer l'erreur et me donna la différence qu'il eût pu mettre dans sa poche.
