I was thinking rather of that broken wheat corner as the culminating stroke of an implacable enemy; of the probability that the rifled safe contained more love-tokens similar to the card so many more, in fact, that the thief did not miss the one he had lost. One must consider Fluette's passion for collecting rare gems to appreciate to the full the consummate malice of that coup.
But to me Maillot's testimony was scarcely more than a running accompaniment to Alfred Fluette's strange behavior.
A very old man, cheerfully garrulous, who announced that he was the butler, took me downstairs. "The drawing-room living-room or if you're of a mind to smoke, sir, Mr. Fluette's study." He indicated each of the rooms mentioned with a little flourish of the hand. Although I am not a smoker, the word "study" arrested my attention. I indicated my preference.
Otherwise the day proved to be wholly uneventful. I spent much time in consideration of my case, naturally; but this exercise yielded nothing more conclusive than that Alfred Fluette's place in it was assuming larger and larger proportions as time went by. I was much impressed with Maillot's charge to watch Burke. But here again I was offered no new light.
