Consider the weight of the stone slab, Ms Vaux. The fact that I had to call in help even to lift it. Do you believe the butler found the treasure on his own, knowing this?

Betrayal.

Either betrayal or accident. Regardless, she had left him there to die. The contents of the box had been found in the nearby lake, presumably where she had run off, evidenced by her footprints in the area. In an old, soggy bag, there were bits of dirt-covered metal and stone.

Upon further inspection, it was found to be pieces of gold and gems, instead.

My, my, Herlock. You found yourself in quite impressive adventure.

Quite so. And do not forget:

'Whose was it?'
'His who is gone.'
'Who shall have it?'
'He who will come.'

That was referring to the treasure itself. The old crown of a king, I suspect. Yes, yes, my adventures are always quite thrilling — the ones worth publishing, anyhow.
