"Why, bless me, yes, my wallet!" he said. "Have you seen it?"
"Did it contain anything valuable?"
"I should say it did. Valuable! What's the man talking about? Where is it? Tell me at once, or I'll call the police and have you arrested."
Bambino pointed to Harkaway, who was only a few yards ahead.
"Do you see that person?" he asked.
"Which one—there are two together?"
"The stout one. It is he whom I saw take your wallet from your pocket."
"Then he is a thief?"
"Precisely," replied Bambino. "Good-evening. I hope you will recover your property."
Lifting his hat politely, he turned down a side street, leaving Mr. Cobb to go after his money.
