why, man alive, I have tried her
with two plain tests. If you wanted a
proof of her innocence, there it was,
as plain as the nose on your face.
Did you hear me ask her how she
came to seal the letter, just when her
mind was running on something else?''
81 heard you," said Moody.
Did you see how she started and
stared at me?"

had stolen the money, she would
neither have started nor stared She
would have had her answer ready be-
forehand in her own mind, in case of
accidents. There's only one thing, in
my experience, that you can never do
with a thief, when the thief happens
to be a woman-you can never take
her by surprise. Put that remark by
in your mind; one day you may find
use for remembering it. Did you
see her blush, and look quite hurt in
her feelings, pretty dear, when asked
about her sweetheart? Do you think
a thief, in her place, would have shown
such a face as that? Not she! The
thief would have been relieved. The
thief would have said to herself, All
right; the more the old fool talks
about sweethearts. the further he is
from tracing the robbery to me- Yes!
