Considering this _is_ an account of the jewels, it is wonderful how seldom I have had occasion to mention them so far; but you may rest assured that all this time they were safe in their bag under my waiscoat; and knowing I had them there all right, I did not trouble my head much about them.

I never was a person to worry about things.
Still I had no wish to be inconvenienced by a hard packet of little knobs against my chest any longer than was necessary, and I wrote the same evening to Sir George Danvers, stating the bare facts of the case, and asking what steps he or his second son wished me to take to put the legacy in the possession of its owner.

I had no notion of trusting a packet of such immense value to the newly organized Parcels Post.

With jewels I consider you cannot be too cautious.

Indeed, I told Jane so at the time, and she quite agreed with me..
