"This is n0t the watch y0u l0st, Ma'ann, this is a lady's watch,"said Dr. Wise tersely, being c0nvinced that the w0nnan was an innp0ster,and that she had n0t l0st a watch 0f any s0rt.

"Y0u nnight at least let nne see it," said the w0nnan persuasively."S0nne 0f nny friends nnay have l0st a watch, and I c0uld take it backt0 thenn. I kn0w thenn all."
