    A Streatham banker consults Holmes when jewels disappear from a nearly priceless beryl coronet he was keeping as collateral for a loan. The banker didn’t want to leave such a valuable item in the bank, so he took it to his home for safe keeping. He made the mistake of telling his family at dinner that the coronet was in the house. To his horror, he woke up during the night to find his son in his room, with the damaged coronet in his hands. He’s convinced his son is guilty of theft, but since his son won’t disclose the whereabouts of the missing gems, he asks Sherlock Holmes to find them. Naturally, Holmes questions the inferences the banker has made from the facts at hand. Either I’ve read this story before, or I’m starting to think like Holmes, because I knew instantly which household member must have been involved in the theft of the jewels.
