Scorpion, placed as was Captain Dreyfus, would sting himself to death. They are a determined race. Spiders who construct tiny balloons with little cars all complete are wonderful creatures. They cross chasms in their balloons, throwing out bits of trailing web which seem to act as rudders.
But in that room he had read something which had troubled him, which had raised the sordid crime on to some higher and perplexing level. "Then M. Fleuriot after all might be right?" asked the Commissaire timidly. Hanaud stared at him for a second, then smiled. "L'affaire Dreyfus?" he cried. "Oh la, la, la! No, but there is something else." What was that something? Ricardo asked himself.
No, he hadn't any newspapers; didn't know whether Durrant was hanged yet, nor who had won the Thanksgiving game; hadn't heard whether the United States and Spain had gone to fighting; didn't know who Dreyfus was; but O'Brien? Hadn't they heard? O'Brien, why, he was drowned in the White Horse; Sitka Charley the only one of the party who escaped. Joe Ladue?
It is now more than fifteen years since this country was following with bated breath the judicial investigation of the charges against Captain Dreyfus for treason in having sold secrets of the French War Office to Germany.

This was the celebrated Dreyfus Case, the CAUSE CELEBRE of the period.
So the Press was on the right track at last! Starting from the Grosvenor Hotel, might not the reporters trace the master to Wimbledon, and thence to his present retreat? I had no time for hesitation.
