Excerpt: ...one of your men in Mr. Summertrees' house, and so learned that he is not the coiner. But your man has not succeeded in getting you evidence to incriminate other people.' 'You've about hit it again, Monsieur Valmont. One of my men has been Summertrees' butler for two weeks, but, as you say, he has found no evidence.' 'Is he still butler?' 'Yes.'

We could easily arrest both, but we have not the slightest evidence against either of them, and then, although we put the go-betweens in clink, the worst criminals of the lot would escape.' 'Nothing suspicious about the old curiosity shop?' 'No. It appears to be perfectly regular.' 'This game has been going on under your noses for how long?' 'For about six weeks.'
