It seemed to him that he must attain his end without delay and his dreams grew until it was no longer his father alone whom he hoped to deliver, but all those whom Lupin was holding captive: Raymonde de Saint-Veran, Ganimard, Holmlock Shears, perhaps, and others, many others; and, in reaching them, he would, at the same time, reach Lupin's stronghold, his lair, the impenetrable retreat where he was piling up the treasures of which he had robbed the wide world.
He is almost, you see how candid I am! he is almost as clever as Sherlock Holmes. But I am sorry that I cannot offer you anything better than this hard stool. And no refreshments! Not even a glass of beer! Of course, you will excuse me, as I am here only temporarily." Ganimard smiled, and accepted the proffered seat.
At ten o'clock exactly, they reached the skirt of wall. It was the decisive moment. At ten o'clock exactly. "Why, what's the matter with you, Beautrelet?" jeered Ganimard. "You're quite green in the face!" "It's as well you can't see yourself, Ganimard," the boy retorted. "One would think your last hour had come!" They both had to sit down and Ganimard swallowed a few mouthfuls of rum.
We are not here to sleep. At the slightest sound, open the windows of the court and call me. Pay attention also to the water-side. Ten metres of perpendicular rock is no obstacle to those devils." Ganimard locked his assistants in the gallery, carried away the keys, and said to the baron: "And now, to our post."
The storm of the preceding evening had cleared the sky. The weather was now delightful. "I have no definite knowledge, mademoiselle," I replied, "but can not we, ourselves, investigate the mystery quite as well as the detective Ganimard, the personal enemy of Arsene Lupin?" "Oh! oh! you are progressing very fast, monsieur." "Not at all, mademoiselle.
A fine sand carpeted the rounded slope of the tiny beach. "Jump on shore, Beautrelet Raymonde, give me your hand. You, Charolais, go back to the Needle, see what happens between Ganimard and Duguay-Trouin and come back and tell me at the end of the day. The thing interests me tremendously."
The solution of the problem lies elsewhere." "Where, then?" "With Arsene Lupin." "With Arsene Lupin! To support that theory, we must admit his intervention." "I do admit it. In fact, I consider it quite certain." "Come, Ganimard, that is absurd. Arsene Lupin is in prison."
At half-past eight o'clock in the evening, he dismissed his servants. They occupied rooms in a wing of the building, in a retired spot, well removed from the main portion of the castle. Shortly thereafter, the baron heard the sound of approaching footsteps. It was Ganimard and his two assistants great, powerful fellows with immense hands, and necks like bulls.
You would rob me of all my secrets; expose all my little tricks. That is a very serious matter." "Was I wrong to count on your complaisance?" "No, Ganimard, and since you insist " Arsene Lupin paced his cell two or three times, then, stopping before Ganimard, he asked: "What do you think of my letter to the baron?" "I think you were amusing yourself by playing to the gallery."
When Guerchard came to the end of his questions, the Duke said: "You have given me a very strong feeling that it is going to be a deuce of a job to catch Lupin. I don't wonder that, so far, you have none of you laid hands on him." "But we have!" cried Guerchard quickly. "Twice Ganimard has caught him. Once he had him in prison, and actually brought him to trial.
