How did the cop come to understand that Bob had been successful in the West?
Advertisements
Solution
In the cigar light, Jimmy Wells saw Bob wearing a Diamond studded watch and a scarf pin too. He was wearing a very costly dress too. He admitted that he did pretty well in the west. He expected Jimmy too to be at least half successful compared to him. Thus the cop understood that Bob had been successful in making money.
