I'm very glad you men have come, said Jean sweetly.

Mr. Hoggins----

That's me, miss,

And Mr. Talmot.

I'm always glad to see members of the club, said Jean busy with the teapot,

Yes, miss, he said huskily and added inconsequently,

I didn't do it!

I'm sure you were innocent, she said with a smile of sympathy,

That's right,

There's a girl I know who is tremendously rich, Jean prattled on.
gpt
She lives at 84, Cavendish Mansions, just on the top floor, and, of course, she's very foolish to sleep with her windows open, especially as people could get down from the roof--there is a fire escape there. She always has a lot of jewellery--keeps it under her pillow I think, and there is generally a few hundred pounds scattered about the bedroom. Now that is what I call putting temptation in the way of the weak.

I've told her lots of times that there is danger, but she only laughs. There is an old man who sleeps in the house--quite a feeble old man who has only the use of one arm. Of course, if she cried out, I suppose he would come to her rescue, but then a real burglar wouldn't let her cry out, would he?

No,

Especially as they could get clean away if they were clever, said Jean,

It's not very likely, miss,

Women do these things, and then they blame the poor man to whom a thousand pounds would be a fortune because he comes and takes it. Personally, I should not like to live at 84, Cavendish Mansions.
