Capitolo 20
Rodney was happy to accept the proposal of his/her companion. They proceeded to
once in the house of boarding, and it fortunately found a good vacant room on
the third floor. The Mr. Woods went out in the evening to make a call, but
Rodney was happy to go in bed to nine o'clock.
Next morning after breakfast Rodney consulted his/her companion as to
thing he should do with the casket.
"Does he/she want to pick up money on him?" asked to the agent.
"No; I won't do this unless I am forced."
"Does have him some idea as to the value of the jewels?"
"No"
"Then I will bring before her to a jeweler Lane Nubile, a friend of
you dig that will appraise them. Later I advise her to deposit the
casket to a shop to the wholesale one of deposit, or it finds Tiffany to hold him/it for you."
"I will do as you suggest."
Unmarried Lane is a road widely devoted to jewelers, sells to the wholesale one and
retail sale. Rodney followed to half road the Mr. Woods in a shop around among
Broadway and Road of Nassau. A men that it looks pleasant of middle age greeted
the agent cordially.
"What can I do for you?" he asked. "You desire to buy a ring of diamond
for the future her Mrs. Woods?"
"Not a lot. You would like I it has you appraise some jewelry that belongs to
my young friend here."
The casket was open, and the jeweler admirably examined the contents.
"This is jewelry of first quality", he said. "Does Your friend desire to sell?"
"Not currently", answered Rodney.
"When you give me a call. I will fairly treat her. You wish me to
do you appraise these articles?"
"Yes, gentleman, if you want."
"He/she will perhaps take me fifteen minutes."
The jeweler retired to the part of back of the shop with the casket.
In on a quarter of a hour he returned.
"I cannot clearly give exact figures", he said, "but I appraise the
jewelry to approximately twelve one hundred dollars."
Rodney seemed amazed.
"I didn't think him/it so precious", he said.
"I don't mean that so a lot you could sell him/it for, but if you desire
clear of him I will venture me to give him eleven one hundred."
