Louis advanced towards the door and called Colbert. Colbert had not left the corridor where the secretaries were at work. He reappeared. "Colbert, did you make a perquisition on the house of M. Fouquet?" "Yes, sire." "What has it produced?" "M. de Roncherolles, who was sent with your majesty's musketeers, has remitted me some papers," replied Colbert. "I will look at them. Give me your hand."
He ordered a perquisition of every room and every corner of the hotel, Madame the proprietress loudly lamenting that she and her respectable house would henceforth be disgraced for ever. But the thieves whoever they were were clever. Not a trace of any illicit practice was found on the premises and not a trace of Theodore. Had he indeed been murdered? The thought now had taken root in my mind.
The custom-house officials made a minute, vexatious and even an impertinent perquisition; but as the duke and ambassador had to submit, I thought it best to follow his example; besides, resistance would be useless.
"But positively, my dear Miss um, um, if you have not patience you must sit still pardon me, professionally I must be peremptory. Impossible I could hurt can't conceive did not touch only making a perquisition inquisition say what you please, but you are nervous, ma'am; I am only taking a general survey. "A-propos general survey General a friend of mine, General Clarendon is just come to town.
And it will be everything to us if I can induce him to speak." "I see that. But the house? Could you not search it?" "That would be to scare him finally." "You have made no perquisition there?" "None. I have heard," Blondel continued, hesitating as if he had not quite made up his mind to speak, "some things strange things in respect to the house. But I will tell you more of that when I know more."
But he read in the papers that story of a bradawl found in the Rue Godot-de-Mauroy, and it made him anxious, because the police may make a perquisition here." Thomas, his own anxiety allayed, began to smile. "Tell him he may sleep quietly," he responded. "To begin with, I've unfortunately not yet hit on our little motor such as I want it to be. In fact, I haven't yet put it together.

Still, even on the upper floors, Gerald Burton noticed that there remained intact many beautiful suites of apartments now divided and let out as single rooms. Not a word had been said of the coming Perquisition to those staying in the hotel. But Madame Poulain, by some means best known to herself, had managed to get rid of them all for the morning.
Yes, this search had been, as the Police Agent hinted, something of a farce after all, and he had led not only himself, but, what he regretted far more, poor Nancy Dampier down a blind alley. He found her waiting, feverishly eager and anxious to hear the result of the Perquisition. When the door of the salon opened, she got up and turned to him, a strained look on her face. "Well?" she said.
"I felt sure that in that matter," he observed, "Madame Poulain was telling the truth. But, of course, a Perquisition in a house of this kind is a mere farce, without a plan to guide us. Think of the strange winding passages along which we were led, of the blind rooms, of the deep cupboards into which we peeped! For all we can tell, several apartments may have entirely escaped our knowledge."
