And before night it certainly is true that the one person most deeply interested in the discovery and punishment of Gottlieb's crime that is to say, Hans Kuhn did know all about it; which fact would seem surprising, considering how skilfully Gottlieb had gone about his work, were it not remembered that his unwitting accessory had been the little round Brunswicker widow, and were it not known that little round widows Brunswick born or born elsewhere as a class are incapable of keeping a secret.
