"I have a scheme--and that's why I did get you down here alone.

Mr.Allerdyke, you're a sharp, shrewd man--all you Yorkshiremen are!--at least, all that I've ever come across.

You're good hands at ferreting things out.

Now, Mr.Allerdyke, let's be plain--there's no two ways about it, no doubt whatever of it, the only people in England that we're aware of who knew about this Nastirsevitch jewel transaction are--Fullaway and whoever he has in his employ! We know of nobody else--unless, indeed, it's the Chicago millionaire, Delkin, and he's not very likely to have wanted to go in for a job of this sort.

No, sir--Fullaway is the suspected person, in my opinion!--though I'm going to take precious good care to keep that opinion to myself yet awhile, I can tell you.
