Think of it, after that dear old locket had lain in an antique shop for ten years, suddenly in one day there came two inquiries for it. (JARVIS sits looking at CARLOS.) Mine was the second. A distinguished-looking gentleman had been there in the morning, described it roughly to the old man and got him to hunt for it. He had just found it when I came in. I doubled the distinguished-looking gentleman's offer and got it. (Another look at DUKE.) Who do you suppose wanted that locket, Carlos?
