"Let us presume, for argument's sake, that the document was taken by the maid or by the valet " "They are both old and tried servants." "I understand you to say that your room is on the second floor, that there is no entrance from without, and that from within no one could go up unobserved. It must, then, be somebody in the house who has taken it. To whom would the thief take it?
"Yes I do." "Why, my dear fellow!" West paused, his handsome eyes clouded, considering how best he might put the matter to overcome most surely the singular scruples of his assistant. "Let's take it this way, old fellow. Suppose that my standpoint in that article was diametrically wrong. I am sure I could convince you that it was not, but admit, for argument's sake, that it was.
'Well, sir, observed the undertaker, deferentially, and in a half- whisper, leaning over the table, and knocking over the hairdresser's grog as he spoke, 'that argument's very easy upset. 'Perhaps, sir, said Clip, a little flurried, 'you'll pay for the first upset afore you thinks of another.
