"No: but I know he went."
"That girl would know that the letter was lost."

"I hope you're mistaken, or it will be bad for Renie. I tell you the men will be raging mad if the detective slips through their nets to-night."
"They will be, and now you recognize the necessity of turning the girl over to me."
"I've been thinking over that matter."
"You remember what I promised you?"
"Yes, yes; but suppose he should come?"
