"Found? What? I lost something,—a beautiful cross."
"That is it."
"What did you say?" cried Paula, in greatest astonishment. "A cross with sparkling stones?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Where is it, Moni? Give it to me. Did you find it?"
"No; Jordie of Kueblis did."
Paula wanted to know who Jordie was and where he lived, and was about to send some one down to Kueblis right away to get the cross.
"I will go; and if he still has the cross, I will bring it," said Moni.
"If he still has it!" cried Paula. "Why should he not have it? and how do you know all about this, Moni? When did he find it, and how did you hear about it?"
