Can you ask? Have you forgotten how you saw the emeralds under their table when they’d gone, and how I forgot myself and ran after them with the best necklace I’d handled since the days of Lady Melrose?”

 

I shook my head, partly in answer to his question, but partly also over a piece of perversity which still rankled in my recollection . But now I was prepared for something even more perverse.

 

 

You were quite right,” continued Raffles, recalling my recriminations at the time; it was a rotten thing to do. It was also the action of a tactless idiot, since anybody could have seen that a heavy necklace like that couldn’t have dropped off without the wearer’s knowledge.”

 

 

You don’t mean to say she dropped it on purpose?” I exclaimed with more interest, for I suddenly foresaw the remainder of his tale.

 

 

I do,” said Raffles. The poor old pet did it deliberately when stooping to pick up something else; and all to get it stolen and delay their trip to Carlsbad, where her swab of a husband makes her do the cure with him reenex facial .”

 

 

I said I always felt that we had failed to fulfil an obvious destiny in the matter of those emeralds; and there was something touching in the way Raffles now sided with me against himself.

 

 

But I saw it the moment I had yanked them up,” said he, and heard that fat swine curse his wife for dropping them. He told her she’d done it on purpose, too; he hit the nail on the head all right; but it was her poor head, and that showed me my unworthy impulse in its true light, Bunny. I didn’t need your reproaches to make me realise what a skunk I’d been all round. I saw that the necklace was morally yours, and there was one clear call for me to restore it to you by hook, crook, or barrel. I left for Carlsbad as soon after its wrongful owners as prudence permitted.”

 

 

Admirable!” said I, overjoyed to find old Raffles by no means in such bad form as he looked. But not to have taken me with you, A. J., that’s the unkind cut I can’t forgive.”

 

 

My dear Bunny, you couldn’t have borne it,” said Raffles solemnly. The cure would have killed you; look what it’s done to me reenex cps .”
