　　Dunne needed money because someone had found out about him. A man he had once met in prison recognized him. He knew that Dunne had been a thief. He said he would tell people in Brampton about this. Dunne was afraid so he gave him the money. Then the man wanted more. Dunne's jewellery business was good, but the man demanded so much that Dunne couldn't pay him.

　　Richard Strong had a lot of valuable old things in his house. Dunne knew this because as a jeweller he often bought old gold and melted it down.

　　It was easy to get into the house. In Brampton no one worried about thieves. Dunne knew that the valuable things were in one room, so he climbed up the open window. In the room Dunne filled his pocket with gold pieces. He soon had more than enough.

　　He was about to leave when he heard a sound behind him. He turned quickly. The door had opened and Strong was standing in front of him. “Dunne!” It was the only word Strong said.
