I had learnt something from the above scene besides what concerned the
ivory box: viz., that not on the robe de jaconas, pink or grey, nor
yet on the frilled and pocketed apron, lay the blame of breaking Dr.

Georgette's little blue tunic. So much the better. But who then was
the culprit? What was the ground--what the origin--what the perfect
explanation of the whole business? Some points had been cleared, but
how many yet remained obscure as night!
