“Now,” she said, “I am ready to listen to your message.”
“Have you lost anything?” asked Rodney abruptly.
“Oh, have you found it?” exclaimed Mrs. Harvey, clasping her hands.
“That depends on what you have lost,” answered Rodney, who felt that it was necessary to be cautious.
“Certainly, you are quite right. I have lost a box containing jewelry bought this morning at Tiffany’s.”
“What were the articles?”
“A diamond necklace and pin. They are intended as a present for my daughter who is to be married. Tell me quick have you found them?”
“Is this the box?” asked Rodney.
“Oh yes, yes! How delightful to recover it. I thought I should never see it again. Where did you find it?”
“On Fifteenth Street beside Tiffany’s store.”
