The Missing Charges

Santa Eulalia gallery, the weekly count. Eighteen cartridges and sixty metres of fuse are missing from the powder store, and the signature book records no withdrawal since Tuesday. The store has one door, one key and a padlock that is not forced. Eighteen cartridges are enough to bring down half a gallery, or to sell very dear to somebody who cannot buy them.
