“Yes.”

“Indeed! What?”

“It is found.”

“Found! Where?”

“In the possession of of George Hatfield, otherwise Gentleman George, Red Rob, and so forth, river-pirate.”

“Dear me! Well, where's the casket?”

“In the inspector's office.”

“Why didn't you bring it with you?”

“He wished me to ask you to step down and identify it—a slight formality, you know.”

“Yes—yes—certainly. You have a carriage with you?”
