The lady thus brought to the point
made quick gesture towards the girl

rising color in her cheeks. answered,
with some show of resolution on her
own part:

threw the cloak back and showed
what she had evidently been holding

The old detective rubbed his chin,

then at the girl in the window, and
lastly at the mother, who had lifted
her head again and was facing him
bravely.
" Is very important" he observed
to the latter, that your daughter
should be correct in her statement as

she picked it up. Are you sure she

I don't think she did But I'm sure
