And, when I asked if she would marry me, she didn't say No.

She looked, I must own, a little sadly, and she said: "How can two such poor people as we are ever hope to marry ?" To this I answered: "It won't be long before I lay my hand on the clew which my Inspector has failed to find.

I shall be in a position to marry you, my dear, when that time comes." At our next meeting we spoke of her parents.
