“No. I saw the man take it.”
“Saw him? Nonsense—I beg pardon, dear, I don’t quite mean that.” He was nice always in his home ways with the women he loved. “I mean that you have spoken unadvisedly.”
“Yes, I had no advice from within or without, for that matter; but I know that man is the thief.”
“It is a serious charge.”
“It is. When you come to think it over, you will agree with me.”

“What are you going to do, Archie!” asked Margaret.
“I want to talk to Carington. He knows all these people; has known them for years.”
