"No, I'm not," answered Fenn, with a show of indignation. "Listen! The missing mud turtle was a large one, and a species that has a very long neck. Now it would be the easiest thing in the world for the turtle to get the diamond bracelet over his neck, and walk off with it. One of mine once got his neck in an iron ring, and I didn't know it for quite a while, as the folds of skin on the reptile's neck hid the iron. I'll wager that's what's happened in this case. We'll find that the turtle is wearing Mrs. Long's diamond bracelet on its neck!"
