“Mr. Folliard,” said his lawyer, “you have had in your possession very valuable family jewels.”
“I had.”
“Whose property were they?”
“Why, mine, I should think.”
“Could you identify them?”
“Certainly I could.”
“Are these the jewels in question?”
The old man put on his spectacles, and examined them closely.
“They are; I know every one of them.”
“They were stolen from you?”
