I do not believe that the Countess ever opened one of them, and when her mother-in-law expressed a wish to see her in the beautiful gowns and head-dresses contained in the cases, she answered indifferently: "What for? Why?" She gave me the same answer when showing me her jewel-case, one of the most splendid I have ever seen.
Nevertheless, the bangle and the reward remained in his mind all that night and all to-day. Now he can not refrain from speaking about it to the man he considers his rival. "Odd thing about Miss Delmaine's bangle," he remarks carelessly. "Very odd. I dare say her maid has put it somewhere and forgotten it." "Hardly. One would not put a bracelet anywhere but in a jewel-case, or in a special drawer.
"We heard that your jewel-case was taken out of your room at Carlisle and broken open," said Eustace. "So it was. They broke into my room in the dead of night, when I was in bed, fast asleep, and took the case away. When the morning came, everybody rushed into my room, and I was so frightened that I did not know what I was doing.
We said not one word about the portraits, but sat down with the jewel-case again between us. "These stones and coins are also my sister's, monsieur the marquis?" He lifted his eyebrows. "I had ample opportunity, my dear boy, to turn them into the exchequer of the Count of Provence.
Of course, he pictured her wandering about the wood in the hope of seeing him, and acutely imagined her disappointment. Meanwhile, Heyton returned to the Hall; walking with a certain jauntiness which was not altogether assumed; for the disposal of the jewel-case had been an immense relief.

"See," he said, after a moment's hesitation, opening another drawer in his writing-table, "before I went away I had intended to ask you to remember me." As he spoke he drew a jewel-case from under some papers, and slowly opened it.
The boys intended the pictures as a surprise for you and Elise, so we never sent them. They wanted to tell you themselves about the Benefit and the little waif they gave it for."
