That same night we all three returned to London by the last train, the big black van containing the treasure being coupled with us at the rear, while just before two o'clock next morning I had the satisfaction of seeing the whole of it safely placed in my sitting-room at Keppel Street, much to Mrs. Richardson's wonderment as to what the heavy sealed packages could contain.
