Yesterday she telephoned to us at the Chateau de Charmerace.
All the jewels were left in her charge, and the wedding presents as they were sent in." "And these jewels and wedding presents--have they been stolen too ?" said M.Formery.
"They don't seem to have been touched," said the Duke, "though of course we can't tell till M.Gournay-Martin arrives.

As far as I can see, the burglars have only touched these two drawing-rooms." "That's very annoying," said M.Formery.
"I don't find it so," said the Duke, smiling.
"I was looking at it from the professional point of view," said M.
Formery.

He turned to the inspector and added, "You can't have searched thoroughly.

This housekeeper must be somewhere about--if she's really trustworthy.

Have you looked in every room in the house ?" "In every room--under every bed--in every corner and every cupboard," said the inspector.
"Bother!" said M.Formery.
