โSomeone has been tampering with my collection,โ Milsted announced in a hard, metallic voice. โSome infernal thief has stolen a priceless relicโthe statue of Hanuman. Now, I donโt make any accusations; but I want that curio back. I think I know the thief, and while Iโd be justified in turning him over to the police, Iโll give him a chance to return my property without a scandalโif he will...โ
