"It is incredible that such a thing as the theft of a body should occur," said Etwald, dryly. "Yet it has taken place. But where is Mr. Sarby? I should think that he would be present to aid you."

No chance for them unless you do," he said laughingly, "or the buttons, either," he added under his breath so I could just hear it.
