No man could better have exposed the absurdity of the whole flimsy and preposterous fabrication that I had had two confederates, who had, in my interest and at my suggestion, robbed first the triclinium and then the gem-collection, after which last I had myself murdered Falco. But his logic, his lucidity and his eloquence fell on deaf ears. Ravillanus was unmoved.
They were equally consistent in asserting that they all believed that I had murdered Falco, after arranging for the looting of the gem-collection as a blind.

You deserve a lavish reward and I believe I love you better than any living human being." I thanked him with my best imitation of the manner of a Greek, but with genuine feeling and from a full heart.
I reminded him of the cash value of his gem-collection and of its value in his eyes, not to be reckoned in cash. He listened indulgently and said: "I thank you, Phorbas. All you say is true. And, any time last year, I should have sold that janitor without a thought, after your information against him last January.
That is no sort of a janitor for the house containing the second-largest private gem-collection in all Rome. Nor any sort of watch-dog." "How came the door unbarred?"
