Well this morning I sent for Leon, who is Dorothy and my waiter friend,
and I asked him what Louie and Robber said in French. So it seems that
they said in French that we seemed to attract them very very much
because they really thought that we were very very charming, and they
had not met girls that were so charming in quite a long time. So it
seems that they said that they would ask us out a lot and that they
would charge up all the bills to Lady Francis Beekman because they
would watch for their chance and they would steal the diamond tiara. So
then they said that even if they could not steal it from us, we were
really so charming that it would be delightful to go around with us,
even if they could not steal from us. So no matter what happens they
really could not lose. Because it seems that Lady Francis Beekman would
be glad to pay all the bills when they told her they had to take us out
a lot so they could watch for their chance and steal it. Because Lady
Francis Beekman is the kind of a wealthy lady that does not spend money
on anything else but she will always spend money on a law suit. And she
really would not mind spending the money because it seems that
something either I or Dorothy said to Lady Francis Beekman seemed to
make her angry.
So then I decided it was time to do some thinking and I really thought
quite a lot. So I told Dorothy I thought I would put the real diamond
tiara in the safe at the Ritz and then I would buy an imitation of a
diamond tiara at the jewelry store that has the imitations that are
called paste. So then I would leave the imitation of the diamond tiara
lying around, so Louie and Robber could see how careless I seem to be
with it so then they would get full of encouradgement. So when we go
out with Louie and Robber I could put it in my hand bag and I could
take it with me so Louie and Robber could always feel that the diamond
tiara was within reach. So then Dorothy and I could get them to go
shopping and we could get them to spend quite a lot and every time they
seemed to get discouradged, I could open my hand bag, and let them get
a glimpse of the imitation of a diamond tiara and they would become
more encouradged and then they would spend some more money. Because I
even might let them steal it at the last, because they were really
charming gentlemen after all and I really would like to help Louie and
Robber. I mean it would be quite amusing for them to steal it for Lady
Francis Beekman and she would have to pay them quite a lot and then she
would find out it was only made out of paste after all. Because Lady
Francis Beekman has never seen the real diamond tiara and the imitation
of a diamond tiara would really deceive her, at least until Louie and
Robber got all of their money for all of the hard work they did. I mean
the imitation of a diamond tiara would only cost about 65 dollars and
what is 65 dollars if Dorothy and I could do some delightful shopping
