"It's probably your system of bookkeep

mouth with his coat sleeve, answered
stoutly:

The doctor smiled quizzically. "What do
you understand by double entry bookkeep

Jim stared at the doctor, astonished, his
big, slothful eyes opening wide as he ran
his hand through his shock of whitening
brown hair.
"Well, do tell, doctor; don't you know?
