I let men who were in the business simply to make money, and who knew how to do it! tell me that my furs must be recut, or changed, and my jewels reset, and my wardrobe restocked and my furniture carried away and replaced.

Harter and Benjamin's whole establishment, and it was believed that, if the jewels were in London, they were locked up in some box within that house. It was thought more than probable by Major Mackintosh and his myrmidons that the jewels were already at Hamburg; and by this time, as the major had explained to Mr. Camperdown, every one of them might have been reset, or even recut.
The subject appears to be an episode during the Siege of Troy, a whimsical selection of design for an angel. Some apparently mediæval cameos are in reality antiques recut with Christian characters.
