"If so, I was dreaming with my eyes open. Perhaps it was in my dreams that I saw you extract a wallet from my coat pocket."
"Do you mean to insult me, sir?" demanded Graham.
"Really, sir, your remarks are rather extraordinary," chimed in Vincent.
"Do you mean to say that I robbed you?" demanded Graham, confident in the knowledge that the booty was not on his person.
"I find a wallet missing. That speaks for itself."
"Let me suggest that your roommate probably took it," said Vincent.
"Extremely probable," said Graham. "He roomed with me in Pittsburg, and I caught him at my pockets during the night."
"Did you ever hear the fable of the wolf and the lamb, Mr. Graham?" asked Mr. Waterbury.
"Can't say I have."
