"Oh, yes," he assured her quickly. His voice, too, was lowered cautiously.
"Did you come in the auto?"
"Yes."
"And the casket?"
For an instant the Burglar hesitated.
"The casket?" he repeated.
"Certainly, the casket. Did you get it all right?"
The Burglar looked at her with a new, businesslike expression on his lips. The Girl returned his steady gaze for an instant, then her eyes dropped. A faint colour glowed in her white chin. The Burglar suddenly laughed admiringly.
"Yes, I got it," he said.
She took a deep breath quickly, and her white hands fluttered a little.
