“After the alphabet we have the numbers, which, it will be seen, are easily understood after a little practice.

Numbers.

1isSay or Speak.
2isBe, Look, or Let.
3isCan or Can’t.
4isDo or Don’t.
5isWill or Won’t.
6isWhat.
7isPlease or Pray.
8isAre or Ain’t.
9isNow.
10isTell.
0isHurry 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.’
