coronet

i. taç, süslü taç

At one side of the coronet was a cracked edge, where a corner holding three gems had been torn away.

But what is the good of all these vague theories, cried the banker impatiently, when I have told you that I saw Arthur with the coronet in his hands?

He saw her stealthily open the window, hand out the coronet to someone in the gloom, and then closing it once more hurry back to her room, passing quite close to where he stood hid behind the curtain.

How can we have when I saw him with my own eyes with the coronet in his hands.

How could I help suspecting him, when I actually saw him with the coronet in his hand?

I answered that it had ceased to be a private matter, but had become a public one, since the ruined coronet was national property.

I rely upon you not only to be discreet and to refrain from all gossip upon the matter but, above all, to preserve this coronet with every possible precaution because I need not say that a great public scandal would be caused if any harm were to befall it.

Mary was the first to rush into my room, and, at the sight of the coronet and of Arthur's face, she read the whole story and, with a scream, fell down senseless on the ground.

Presently she emerged from the room again, and in the light of the passage-lamp your son saw that she carried the precious coronet in her hands.

The gas was half up, as I had left it, and my unhappy boy, dressed only in his shirt and trousers, was standing beside the light, holding the coronet in his hands.

The lowest estimate would put the worth of the coronet at double the sum which I have asked.

Then something suddenly snapped, and your son, finding that he had the coronet in his hands, rushed back, closed the window, ascended to your room, and had just observed that the coronet had been twisted in the struggle and was endeavouring to straighten it when you appeared upon the scene.

When I remembered that you had seen her at that window, and how she had fainted on seeing the coronet again, my conjecture became a certainty.
