"WHO STEALS MY PURSE"
Sir-l am indebted to "CO0CK-a-doodle" and F. W. Reeve for their attempts to provide "Three Dumb Clucks" with an explanation of A. P. Gaskell’s story, but I am wondering whether the Dumb Clucks are satisfied; at any rate, I am not. What I want to know is how the cash box came to be*short. The only possible clue I can see is that reference to the hero’s £4 error in dictation; and this, if it is a clue, seems far too vague. Both C.A.D. and F.W.R. are right, as far as they go, but I was so perplexed at my inability to find out "whodunit" that for me the point was lost. I believe that my difficulty was also the Dumb Clucks’, and consider the lack of clarity on this point must have marred the story for many others beside
myself. .
