"They don't seem to have been touched," said the Duke, "though of course we can't tell till M. Gournay-Martin arrives. As far as I can see, the burglars have only touched these two drawing-rooms." "That's very annoying," said M. Formery. "I don't find it so," said the Duke, smiling. "I was looking at it from the professional point of view," said M. Formery.
"Take this to Mademoiselle Gournay-Martin," said Lupin, handing it to Bonavent. Bonavent took the letter, turned, and had taken one step towards the door when Lupin sprang. His arm went round the detective's neck; he jerked him backwards off his feet, scragging him.
"Mademoiselle Kritchnoff," said Guerchard, in a tone of the most good-natured courtesy, "there is a matter on which M. Formery needs some information. The pendant which the Duke of Charmerace gave Mademoiselle Gournay-Martin yesterday has been stolen." "Stolen? Are you sure?" said Sonia in a tone of mingled surprise and anxiety. "Quite sure," said Guerchard.
"Can you arrest me? ... You can arrest Lupin ... but arrest the Duke of Charmerace, an honourable gentleman, member of the Jockey Club, and of the Union, residing at his house, 34 B, University Street ... arrest the Duke of Charmerace, the fiance of Mademoiselle Gournay-Martin?" "Scoundrel!" cried Guerchard, pale with sudden, helpless fury. "Well, do it," taunted the Duke.
"I can answer for it that you will be in no danger, M. Gournay-Martin." "Thank you," said the millionaire. "But all the same, outside is good enough for me." Germaine came into the room, cloaked and ready to start. "For once in a way you are ready first, papa," she said. "Are you coming, Jacques?" "No; I think I'll stay here, on the chance that Lupin is not bluffing," said the Duke.
