Quote context

[...]

- I happen to own a dispatch box which is very similar to Mr. Chelm's.

- When I didn't find it in my cabin, I asked Major Ross to see if it had been stowed away somewhere else by mistake.

- The major found what he thought was my box in the saloon with other luggage.

- The box has been in my cabin ever since we sailed, under the berth.

- As soon as I saw the box, of course, I realized at once that it wasn't mine.

- I simply opened it to find out to whom it belonged, so that I could return it to its rightful owner.

- I can't conceive why this gentleman should imagine I'd be interested in a box containing patent medicines.

- I'm not a hypochondriac.

- Purser, tell the captain exactly what you told me about the box.

- You distinctly told me that you'd seen it being taken from my cabin.
