Domingan refugees, whose story of adventures she says was very wonderful, but with good artistic judgement omits them. The travelers found, of course, a charmante cordialité at the home of M. Agricole Fuselier , and saw a little girl of five who afterward became a great beauty Uranie Fuselier. They passed another Indian village, where Françoise persuaded them not to stop.
"No, no!" said Juve, "you are getting on too fast. If that had been so, there would have been no need for all the bath business; besides, the Princess was robbed, too, you know. That was not just chance, it was planned; and so if the thief hid in the shower bath he did so on purpose to wait for the Princess." "But he did not want her!" Fuselier retorted: "very much the reverse.
"Yes," he said, "you are quite right. But unfortunately the calendar won't be a brilliant one for the police. There may be lots of cases, but there are not lots that they have worked out to a finish." "You've got nothing to grumble at," M. Fuselier smiled. "You have been in enough cases lately that were worked out to a finish. Your reputation isn't in any danger of diminishing."
M. Fuselier was standing in his office in the law courts at Paris, meditatively smoothing the nap of his silk hat. His mind was busy with the enquiries he had been prosecuting during the day, and although he had no reason to be dissatisfied with his day's work he had no clear idea as to what his next steps ought to be. Three discreet taps on the door broke in upon his thoughts.
He did not know where the money was, so he watched every movement of her eyes and saw them go automatically towards the drawer and stay there; then he slipped his card into the drawer, abstracted the pocket-book, and took his leave, driving his impudence and skill to the length of making her see him to the door!" "Upon my word, Juve, you are a wonder," M. Fuselier said admiringly.
Please bring, without exception, all the papers and documents entrusted to you by the Clerk of Assizes at Cahors, at the conclusion of the Langrune enquiry." "It is signed Germain Fuselier," Dollon remarked. "I've often seen his name in the papers. He is a very well-known magistrate, and is employed in many criminal cases." He read the letter through once more, and turned to the postman.
At almost the first words he said, the clerk uttered an exclamation and wheeled round to the magistrate. "Oh, M. Fuselier, listen! They have just told me " But the gendarme had come in. He saluted the magistrate and handed him a letter which M. Fuselier hastily tore open and read. "To M. Germain Fuselier, Examining Magistrate, The Law Courts, Paris.
Oh, yes, I've got lots of ideas, but they are all utterly vague and improbable: sometimes my imagination seems to be running away with me." He stopped, and M. Fuselier wagged a mocking finger at him. "Juve," he said, "I charge you formally with attempting to implicate Fantômas in the murder of the Marquise de Langrune!" The detective replied in the same tone of raillery. "Guilty, my lord!"
"And after that you are to examine Gurn, aren't you, in connection with the Beltham case?" "Quite so." "I wish you would oblige me by confronting the two men here, in my presence." M. Fuselier looked up in surprise: he could not see what connection there could be between the two utterly dissimilar cases.
We have, however, thought it our duty, after having searched the body, to report this identification to you, and have therefore requisitioned an officer of the police at Brétigny to convey to you the information contained in this communication." M. Fuselier had turned pale as he read this letter. He handed it to Juve.
