They looked at the miserable shelter of a rags-and-flowers merchant, walked on through one of the more squalid slums of Europe. In one street they met a group of children. "It's the King!" cried a child. "How do you know it's the King?" "It must be. He has such nice shoes." The children shyly touched the young man's raincoat...

In both cases the crooks had been clever, but not clever enough. They buried the gun in a low-tide mud-flat, but the children decided this was just the mud-flat they wanted to build sand-castles in.
