The London consul of a continental kingdom was informed by his government that one of his countrywomen, supposed to be living in Great Britain, had been left a large fortune. After advertising without result, he applied to the police, and a smart young detective was set to work. A few weeks later his chief asked how he was getting on.
“I’ve found the lady, sir.”
“Good! Where is she?”
“At my place. I married her yesterday.”
