"No fear. I'd 'ad enough of THAT blooming treasure, any'ow for a bit. Besides, I didn't know what was done to chaps who tried to collar a treasure trove. I started off for London there and then...." "And you never went back?" "Never." "But about Jane? Did you write?" "Three times, fishing like. And no answer. We'd parted in a bit of a 'uff on account of 'er being jealous.
"Dot must be a right cleffer man, dot Cowperwood," Mr. Gotloeb told several of his partners, rubbing his hands and smiling. "I shouldt like to meet him."
