"Wait here," he said to Isabel; "I'll be back directly." She was standing near her own place at the table. Moody had left one end of the jeweler's case visible above the napkin, to attract her attention. In a minute more the bracelet and note were in her hands.
I should say that the lodging occupied by Grenelli and Day was the loft of a disused private stable, situated in a side street, three or four blocks off, and the driver was instructed to get there as quickly as possible. As we passed a jeweler's place Grenelli glanced at the electric-clock dial in the window and saw that it was twenty-five minutes of eight.
On the other hand, lounging-chairs, suited to the length or shortness of any back; rococo photograph stands, framing either a great many men, or a few men in a great many attitudes; soothing pictures décolleté Venuses, Love's greuze heads tied up with rose-ribbon, and a sleepy half-light. On a small table at the owner's elbow, a blue-velvet jeweler's case stands open.
Come as soon as you can, and get your own case instead, calling at 218 Rue Fille Sauvage, Avenue Morot, back room, top floor, left of passage. Expressing my gratitood in advance, "I am, "Yours trustfully, "J.M. Jeweler's Messenger. "P.S. For heaven's sake don't fale, and ask the concerge for name of Gestre."
Duvall threw open the door of the cab, and entered the dusty and cobwebbed doorway. He found himself in a small dimly lighted room, so crowded with curios of all sorts that he at first did not perceive the little white-haired old man who bent over a jeweler's work bench in one corner.
To London we must take it, for this reason the closure of this case is no jeweler's work; of that I have quite convinced myself. It is the work of a first-rate lapidary, and the same sort of man must undo it." To this I agreed quite readily, because of such things I knew nothing; whereas my host spoke just as if he had been brought up to both those walks of art.
I know the worth of them by frequenting the shops; and you may take my word that all the precious stones which I saw in the most capital jeweler's possession were not to be compared to those we have, either for size or beauty, and yet they value theirs at an excessive price.
Almost without exception, they shook their heads in doubt. Standing on the sidewalk before the jeweler's window, they stared at the machine and then, turning to the crowd that had gathered about, they shook their heads in doubt. "Huh," they exclaimed, "a thing of wheels and cogs, eh? Well, so young Hunter expects that thing to take the place of a man. He's a fool.
"You should take your locket to a jeweler's," I said, "and have the spring secured." "What locket is that?" asked Lance, looking up eagerly from his paper. "Mine," she replied "this." She held it out for his inspection. "I nearly lost it this morning," she said; "it fell from my neck." "Is it the one that holds your sister's hair?" he asked.
After these ecstasies I felt that Pauline was laughing. "What are you laughing at, sweetheart?" "At the craft of love, which always triumphs at last." "Where have you been?" "I went to my old jeweler's to redeem my ring, that you might have a souvenir of me; here it is." "Pauline! Pauline! a little love would have been much more precious to me than this beautiful ring." "You shall have both.
