But he had deceived himself into thinking he was generous to make it with his illgotten gains; he had salved conscience with it it was a liar's gift, a self-deceiver's, a thief's. There was no kindness, no generosity in it, and she despised him and he was her father! She picked up the thing, paper and all, and crammed it into the dying fire. Then suddenly she burst into tears.
The Hopper had no intention of permitting this monstrous larceny to be committed in contravention of his own rights in the premises, and he was considering the best method of wresting the vase from the hands of the insolent Wilton when events began to multiply with startling rapidity. The panel swung open and the thief's lamp flashed upon shelves of pottery.

In your fear for her safety you have forgotten your drug; in our fear for the drug we cannot let your daughter out of our minds." "She may be dead," said Caldegard. The Superintendent answered him. "I don't believe it," he declared. "You see, sir, the thief's plan worked smoothly, bar the one unexpected factor the young lady in the room. If he didn't kill her then, he don't mean to kill her."

"Lightly come, lightly go," is a proverb, which they can very well afford to leave, when they leave little else, to the losers.
