“
Small
threw
it
into
the
Thames
,
”
I
answered
.
“
I
must
borrow
Mrs
.
Forrester
’
s
poker
.
”
There
was
in
the
front
a
thick
and
broad
hasp
,
wrought
in
the
image
of
a
sitting
Buddha
.
Under
this
I
thrust
the
end
of
the
poker
and
twisted
it
outward
as
a
lever
.
The
hasp
sprang
open
with
a
loud
snap
.
With
trembling
fingers
I
flung
back
the
lid
.
We
both
stood
gazing
in
astonishment
.
The
box
was
empty
!
No
wonder
that
it
was
heavy
.
The
iron
-
work
was
two
-
thirds
of
an
inch
thick
all
round
.
It
was
massive
,
well
made
,
and
solid
,
like
a
chest
constructed
to
carry
things
of
great
price
,
but
not
one
shred
or
crumb
of
metal
or
jewelry
lay
within
it
.
It
was
absolutely
and
completely
empty
.
“
The
treasure
is
lost
,
”
said
Miss
Morstan
,
calmly
.
As
I
listened
to
the
words
and
realised
what
they
meant
,
a
great
shadow
seemed
to
pass
from
my
soul
.
I
did
not
know
how
this
Agra
treasure
had
weighed
me
down
,
until
now
that
it
was
finally
removed
.
It
was
selfish
,
no
doubt
,
disloyal
,
wrong
,
but
I
could
realise
nothing
save
that
the
golden
barrier
was
gone
from
between
us
.
“
Thank
God
!
”
I
ejaculated
from
my
very
heart
.
She
looked
at
me
with
a
quick
,
questioning
smile
.
“
Why
do
you
say
that
?
”
she
asked
“
Because
you
are
within
my
reach
again
,
”
I
said
,
taking
her
hand
.
She
did
not
withdraw
it
.
“
Because
I
love
you
,
Mary
,
as
truly
as
ever
a
man
loved
a
woman
.
Because
this
treasure
,
these
riches
,
sealed
my
lips
.
Now
that
they
are
gone
I
can
tell
you
how
I
love
you
.
That
is
why
I
said
,
‘
Thank
God
.
’
”
“
Then
I
say
,
‘
Thank
God
,
’
too
,
”
she
whispered
,
as
I
drew
her
to
my
side
.
Whoever
had
lost
a
treasure
,
I
knew
that
night
that
I
had
gained
one
.
A
very
patient
man
was
that
inspector
in
the
cab
,
for
it
was
a
weary
time
before
I
rejoined
him
.
His
face
clouded
over
when
I
showed
him
the
empty
box
.
“
There
goes
the
reward
!
”
said
he
,
gloomily
.
“
Where
there
is
no
money
there
is
no
pay
.
This
night
’
s
work
would
have
been
worth
a
tenner
each
to
Sam
Brown
and
me
if
the
treasure
had
been
there
.
”
“
Mr
.
Thaddeus
Sholto
is
a
rich
man
,
”
I
said
.
“
He
will
see
that
you
are
rewarded
,
treasure
or
no
.
”
