On the other hand, it was Annie Grayson who had been
seen on at least one occasion, yet apparently had had nothing
whatever to do with the missing jewels, at least not so far as any
tangible evidence yet showed. More than that, Donnelly vouchsafed
the information that he had gone further and that some of the men
work-ing under him had endeavoured to follow the movements of the
two women and had found what looked to be a curious crossing of
trails. Both of them, he had found, had been in the habit of
visiting, while shopping, the same little tea-room on Thirty-third
Street, though no one had ever seen them together there, and the
coincidence might be accounted for by the fact that many Glenclair
ladies on shopping expeditions made this tea-room a sort of
rendezvous. By inquiring about among his own fraternity Donnelly
had found that other stores also had reported losses recently,
mostly of diamonds and pearls, both black and white.
Kennedy had been pondering the situation for some time, scarcely
uttering a word.
