"You must wash a great many handkerchiefs at your laundry, Mrs. Marriner," observed the Coroner. "How can you be sure about one about that one?" "I'm sure enough about that one, sir, because it's one of a dozen that's gone through my hands many a time!" asserted Mrs. Marriner.
Yet it was the very height of absurdity to risk expulsion, imprisonment, perhaps penal servitude for nothing, literally for nothing. He had no earthly use for the game when it was stolen, Marriner would have it and sell it, but the question of Saurin's sharing in the profits had not even been mooted. To do him justice he had not thought of such a thing, the sport was all that tempted him.
The field of their operations was not to be near Marriner's house, but in a part of the estates a good bit nearer Weston, and on the other side of it.

The man lay on his back with his head on the path, and the moonbeams fell on his face. "Simon Bradley," muttered Marriner. "To be sure he lives this way, and was going home after the alarm on t'other side." Saurin was seized with a violent shivering from head to foot. "He isn't, I mean to say you have not eh?" he said.

"Don't matter if Mrs. Marriner's got five hundred customers," said Brent. "That's got to be seen into. If you aren't going to do it, I will.
