"You did well, Madame. And they kept all that they took from you?"
"No, they returned three hundred francs, a silver traveling case and my daughter's watch."
"These things are still in your possession?"
"Certainly."
"They did not take from you your rings and your ear-rings?"
"No, Monsieur le Capitaine."
"Will you be good enough to give them to me?"
"Give you what?"
"Your rings, your ear-rings, the silver traveling case, two watches and the sum of three hundred francs."
Mrs. Simons cried out: "What! Monsieur, you would take from us the articles the bandits returned to us?"
