[Edgeworth expects the same--a real professional wouldn't simply hand over their prop if there was a chance it could give them away. still, he gives the club a very thorough, methodical examination. the club is only that: a rusty, old golf club. aside from the fact that it's far too large to have come out of a pair of bloomers, the most remarkable thing about it is that it clearly came from Adstringendum. if there was any prep work done on it, it must have been minimal. meaning if there was a mechanism involved in the trick, it's in the bloomers she brought with her to the city...which he is not about to examine.]

[finally he hands the club back to her, nodding appreciatively.] I must say, I'm very impressed. Where did you learn that?
