text_original: He stretched out his hand. I hesitated before I gave him these. To put it gently, they were not mine. And — should I tell him their history or should I not ? He did not give me time for reflection. " Come along ! Are you afraid I'm going to steal them?" He took them out of my grasp. I was so be  wildered by the discovery of their presence that I had really not recovered sufficient presence of mind to say him either yea or nay.
