The Case of the Sharp-Eyed Jeweller

part 5

‘One moment, madam,’ William morris said.
Sahe heard me but she pretended that she hadn't. She walked on towards the door.
‘ Pardon me’, William morris said, ‘but if you don't stop, I shall press the alarm and the door will be located.’
She stopped but she did not look round.
Miss Susskind stood like a statue behind the other counter while William morris went up to the young woman. ‘ Madam,’ William morris said, ‘we do not wish for any unpleasantness. Kindly hand me the ring which you have in the left-hand pocket of your coat. If you will not, Miss Susskind will press the alaram.’
The young woman was looking deathly place and very frightened. I felt sorry for her. Without saying a word,she felt in her pocket and gave me the ring. She ran out of the shop as if the place was in a fire.
It was then that Mr cartier came out of his office with the American, whose face was one big grin of satisfaction. Mr cartier was not smiling. He was as white as a sheet. His voice was shaking as he said, ‘ I am so sorry, sir. I hope that you will understand and excuse me. I beg you pardon, indeed I do.’
