"Well," she said, "you may well boast of being lucky indeed! Look what I have just found."
"What is it?"
"One of your earrings."

"In the street."

"No, I had them on at supper."
"Are you sure of it?"
"So sure that, because they tired me, I took them out and laid them by my side. What can I have done with them afterwards?... Where can I have put them?"
