"Would you mind letting me off fifteen minutes early after this, sir?"
asked the bookkeeper. "You see, I've moved into the suburbs and I can't
catch my train unless I leave at a quarter before five o'clock."
"I suppose I'll have to," grumbled the boss; "but you should have
thought of that before you moved."
"I did," confided the bookkeeper to the stenographer a little later,
"and that's the reason I moved."
