“A little. I shall do what I can. I have already notified the police, and Mr. Tiffany.”
“You have not told me yet how you lost it.”
When Paul had told the story, his mother asked, “Did you mention it in the cars that you had offered it at Tiffany's?”
“Yes, and I mentioned his offer.”
“Perhaps the thief would be cautious about going there, for that very reason. He might think the ring would be recognized.”
“He would go to a large place, thinking that so valuable a ring would be more readily purchased there.”
“He might go to Ball & Black's.”
“That is true.”
“It would be well to give notice there also.”
“I will go up there at once. I only wish I could meet Mr. Felix Montgomery; I don't think he would find it so easy to outreach me a second time.”
