Then, running his thumb-nail swiftly along the edge of the box, he broke the paper wrapping, the box burst open and a shower of cigarettes fell to the ground. "So that's your Star of Poland, is it?" cried Behrend in a mocking voice. "Wot 'ave yer done wiv' the sparklers, eh?" demanded Max, catching Mortimer roughly by the arm.
"History repeating itself! The Queen of Hearts, you remember and the Knave of Spades, wasn't it? I wish it were diamonds instead: but maybe his spade will dig up a few sparklers in the end. I've got a splendid plan brewing. But that isn't what I want to talk about just now. In fact, I don't want to talk about it yet!

The plant's been shut down for the last two months, and there's only the watchman there, and he's 'squared. We gave the Pug two hours of solitary confinement to think it over and come across.
