To give him his cue, the major spoke to him at once.,"Even so. Why should she have perfumed the handkerchief?","Where is Battersea?" asked Jen, glancing round.,"Certainly not," rejoined Etwald, with something like a sneer; "but you are also no detective."，"I guessed as much," resumed Etwald, with a cold smile.
