"I suppose it'spossible," said Bollard, thoughtfully.

"Or it could be kleptomania," agreed Bollard. "It'smore likely that she took it on purpose…. But if so, why didshe bring it back so soon? It's curious –”

"I thought you said she was rolling in money."
"You may be an heiress and rolling in money,"said Bollard, "but at seventeen you can't always get your hands on it. The funny thing is, you know, they keepheiresses much shorter of cash than they keep the more impecunious. It's not always a good idea. Well, I don't supposewe shall ever know the truth of it."
