What curious episode occurred in the study?
One day, very early in the morning, a clergyman and his wife were awakened by the noises in the study. While creeping downstairs, they heard the chink of money being taken from the clergyman’s desk. When the clergyman flung open the door, he found that the room was empty. They didn't find anybody. Yet the desk had been opened and the housekeeping money was missing.
