The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gobseck by Honore de Balzac: affairs, I will tell you this much M. le Comte--if Mme. la Comtesse
has taken your diamonds, you should have sent a circular around to all
the jewelers, giving them notice not to buy them; she might have sold
them separately.'
" 'You know my wife, sir!' roared the Count.
" 'True.'
" 'She is in her husband's power.'
" 'That is possible.'
" 'She had no right to dispose of those diamonds----'
" 'Precisely.'
" 'Very well, sir?'
