Behind the Wicket, Short Stories Relating to Life in the Canadian Banks (Classic Reprint)

Introduction These stories and sketches, written at various times since my banking days, are compiled for the purpose of supplying a demand created by my first book, AC anadian Bankclerk. Numerous inquiries by mail and otherwise have convinced me that the public is interested in life behind the bank wicket, and as the Bankclerk could not thoroughly cover his legitimate field, owing to the handicap of a continuous plot and argument, I thought it advisable to publish these loose writings, which are sketchy and comic rather than tragic. AC anadian Bankclerk almost earned for me the reputation of a tragedian. He takes himself too seriously, it was said. Perhaps Behind the Wicket will do something toward removing this purple stain from my innocent name. I admit that it is a terrible, a disastrous mistake for a writer (who qualifies for the quotation marks anyway ?) to take himself seriously.
