Green dice rolled across the green table, struck the rim together, and bounced back. One stopped short holding six white spots in two equal rows uppermost. The other tumbled out to the center of the table and came to rest with a single spot on top.Ned Beaumont grunted softly—“Uhn!”—and the winners cleared the table of money.Harry Sloss picked up the dice and rattled them in a pale broad hairy hand. “Shoot two bits.” He dropped a twenty-dollar bill and a five-dollar bill on the table.Ned Beaumont stepped back saying: “Get on him, gamblers, I’ve got to refuel.” He crossed the billiard-room to the door. There he met Walter Ivans coming in. He said, “ ’Lo, Walt,” and would have gone on, but Ivans caught his elbow as he passed and turned to face him.

It was a diamond all right, shining in the grass half a dozen feet from the blue brick walk. It was small, not more than a quarter of a carat in weight, and unmounted. I put it in my pocket and began searching the lawn as closely as I could without going at it on all fours.I had covered a couple of square yards of sod when the Leggetts’ front door opened.A woman came out on the broad stone top step and looked down at me with good-humored curiosity.She was a woman of about my age, forty, with darkish blond hair, a pleasant plump face, and dimpled pink cheeks. She had on a lavender-flowered white housedress.I stopped poking at the grass and went up to her, asking: “Is Mr. Leggett in?”“Yes.” Her voice was placid as her face. “You wish to see him?”I said I did.She smiled at me and at the lawn.“You’re another detective, aren’t you?”I admitted that.
