“After the alphabet we have the numbers, which, it will be seen, are easily understood after a little practice.
Numbers.
| 1 | is | Say or Speak. |
| 2 | is | Be, Look, or Let. |
| 3 | is | Can or Can’t. |
| 4 | is | Do or Don’t. |
| 5 | is | Will or Won’t. |
| 6 | is | What. |
| 7 | is | Please or Pray. |
| 8 | is | Are or Ain’t. |
| 9 | is | Now. |
| 10 | is | Tell. |
| 0 | is | Hurry or Come. |
“‘Well’ is to repeat the last figure.
“Example: The number 1,234 is required; attention must only be paid to the first word of a sentence, thus:
“‘Say the number. Look at it. Can you see it? Do you know?’
“Or say the number is 100:
“‘Tell me the number. Hurry!’
“A rather difficult number would be 1,111. The question would be put in this wise:
“‘Say the number. Well? Speak out. Say what it is.’
