"And did you really tell me that you had come to the castle to steal " "Recover." " Recover Mr. Peters' scarab?" "I did." "Then it's true?" "It is."
Marshaling his facts, he planned briefly how he would make use of them, and finally began to draw scrappy mental pen-pictures of the usurping Mary Thorne.
