Mrs. Vanderstein's jewels. Bryce Charles

You have not yet furnished me with that comprehensive clear account in which the trivial details which look so unimportant and may yet be of such moment are never omitted: the lucid narrative so dear to the detective’s heart. I do not think, if you will pardon my saying so, that I am likely to get it from you, Sir Gregory.”

      Sir Gregory glared, but said nothing; and Gimblet continued, with a smile:

      “To begin with, who is Mrs. Vanderstein?”

      “The widow of a Jewish money-lender.” Sir Gregory spoke somewhat shortly. He considered Gimblet’s remarks disrespectful.
