Everyone laments with her, but Susan remarks, “Everyone keeps saying how sad the loss of such sentimental gifts, and yes, that’s true, but I’m also thinking, yeah, and how sad the loss of all that gold at two thousand dollars an ounce.”

“What was that about not looking for the jewelry because it would be melted down by morning? Emeralds don’t melt. Sapphires don’t melt.” Susan stands behind Camille’s chair, her hands protectively on Camille’s shoulders.
