"It looked like a silk handkerchief tied across his nose. It was dark in tone; but I could get only a dim impression."
Malcolm Sage inclined his head comprehendingly.
"You know Mrs. Comminge?"
"Intimately."
"You mentioned two jewel-cases," he said.
"The one stolen contained those I mostly wear," replied Lady
Glanedale; "in the other I keep some very valuable family jewels."
"What was the value of those stolen?"
"About 8,000 pounds," she replied, "possibly more. I should explain, perhaps, that Sir Roger was staying in town last night, and so far I have not been able to get him on the telephone. He was to have stayed at the Ritzton; but apparently he found them full and went elsewhere."
"You have no suspicion as to who it was that entered your room?"
"None whatever," said Lady Glanedale.
