Ricardo?" the detective asked. "No? I thought it was not possible." He turned back to Helene Vauquier. "So Mlle. Celie practised seances. That is very strange. We will hear about them.
We can leave the charwoman, who for the rest has the best of characters, out of our calculations. There remain then, the maid, Helene Vauquier, and" he shrugged his shoulders "Mlle. Celie." Hanaud reached out for the matches and lit a cigarette. "Let us take first the maid, Helene Vauquier.
Celie," he said, "who told me." "Oh!" said Hanaud, slowly. "It was Mlle. Celie. When did she tell you?" "On Monday morning, monsieur. I was cleaning the car. She came to the garage with some flowers in her hand which she had been cutting in the garden, and she said: 'I was right, Alphonse. Madame has a kind heart.
Dauvray. Such ladies as Mme. de Castiglione, Marie Antoinette, Mme. de Medici I do not remember all the names, and very likely I do not pronounce them properly.
