What it could be that made the magnums of wine so valuable McNab could not imagine; in- deed he did not try, for he was far from being a man of imagination — he would have re- pelled that imputation with scorn. Certainly he never dreamed of such a reason as the con- cealment of a priceless jewel in one of the bottles. It was sufficient for McNab that here was quite a little crowd of people inquiring for those particular bottles of wine, and ready to pay a high price for them, too.

True, he had immedi- ately afterward sold off eleven of the dozen at about nine or ten shillings apiece, but there was no accounting for the eccentricities of American millionaires, who could afford that sort of thing. Indeed, had not that same millionaire been glad soon afterward to pay five pounds to get back one of the bottles?
