Had Papa left these keys out on purpose? 

As usual, I was pottering around his dim office, stuffed with outdated invoices, mysterious bills and other bric-a-brac.  Whenever he left on an overseas journey, I tried my best to wait as long as possible to stay out, but in this event, curiosity got the better of me.  Or maybe, I didn't care what the consequences would be.  He had never explicitly said to stay away.

My impertinence aside, to which locks did these keys belong?  I had inherited not only his tenacity, but also his impatience.

Where would I start looking?
