Yes
,
"
said
he
,
curtly
,
"
I
have
never
seen
finer
stones
.
"
"
And
the
gold
-
work
is
also
worthy
of
attention
.
The
ancients
excelled
in
—
—
"
—
he
was
apparently
about
to
indicate
the
setting
of
the
stones
,
when
Captain
Wilson
interrupted
him
.
"
You
will
see
a
finer
example
of
their
gold
-
work
in
this
candlestick
,
"
said
he
,
turning
to
another
table
,
and
we
all
joined
him
in
his
admiration
of
its
embossed
stem
and
delicately
ornamented
branches
.
Altogether
it
was
an
interesting
and
a
novel
experience
to
have
objects
of
such
rarity
explained
by
so
great
an
expert
;
and
when
,
finally
,
Professor
Andreas
finished
our
inspection
by
formally
handing
over
the
precious
collection
to
the
care
of
my
friend
,
I
could
not
help
pitying
him
and
envying
his
successor
whose
life
was
to
pass
in
so
pleasant
a
duty
.
Within
a
week
,
Ward
Mortimer
was
duly
installed
in
his
new
set
of
rooms
,
and
had
become
the
autocrat
of
the
Belmore
Street
Museum
.
About
a
fortnight
afterwards
my
friend
gave
a
small
dinner
to
half
a
dozen
bachelor
friends
to
celebrate
his
promotion
.
When
his
guests
were
departing
he
pulled
my
sleeve
and
signalled
to
me
that
he
wished
me
to
remain
.
"
You
have
only
a
few
hundred
yards
to
go
,
"
said
he
—
I
was
living
in
chambers
in
the
Albany
.
"
You
may
as
well
stay
and
have
a
quiet
cigar
with
me
.
I
very
much
want
your
advice
.
"
I
relapsed
into
an
arm
-
chair
and
lit
one
of
his
excellent
Matronas
.
When
he
had
returned
from
seeing
the
last
of
his
guests
out
,
he
drew
a
letter
from
his
dress
-
jacket
and
sat
down
opposite
to
me
.
"
This
is
an
anonymous
letter
which
I
received
this
morning
,
"
said
he
.
"
I
want
to
read
it
to
you
and
to
have
your
advice
.
"
"
You
are
very
welcome
to
it
for
what
it
is
worth
.
"
"
This
is
how
the
note
runs
:
’
Sir
,
—
I
should
strongly
advise
you
to
keep
a
very
careful
watch
over
the
many
valuable
things
which
are
committed
to
your
charge
.
I
do
not
think
that
the
present
system
of
a
single
watchman
is
sufficient
.
Be
upon
your
guard
,
or
an
irreparable
misfortune
may
occur
.
’
"
"
Is
that
all
?
