"Well, I may as well tell you La Croix has got them. You'd find it out anyway, the way you are following up this case."
"Of course I will. And what's more, we know he's got them. But what I want to know most of all, is, where is La Croix?"
"At the Astor House."
"Under what name?"
"His wife's maiden name: Savoy."
"Does Clara know it?"
"Certainly."
"Are any of the diamonds sold yet?"
