Guespin was self-possessed, and finding in himself sensations which awoke a sort of eloquence, he expressed himself with a savage energy well calculated to strike his hearers. "I have not always served others," he continued; "my father was in easy circumstances almost rich. He had large gardens, near Saumur, and he passed for one of the best gardeners of that region.
"Why," answered the doctor, "not three weeks ago, when I had a consultation at Melun, I saw the count and this demoiselle at a hotel window; when he saw me he suddenly drew back." "Then," said the detective, "there is no longer any doubt " He stopped. Guespin came in between two gendarmes. The unhappy gardener had aged twenty years in twenty-four hours.
If you are innocent, help us to find the man who isn't: What were you doing from Wednesday evening till Thursday morning?" But Guespin persisted in his ferocious and stupid obstinacy. "I've said what I have to say," said he. M. Lecoq changed his tone to one of severity, stepping back to watch the effect he was about to produce upon Guespin. "You haven't any right to hold your tongue.
You are prolonging your imprisonment by your own will. You'd better learn that the greatest shrewdness consists in telling the truth. A last time, will you answer?" Guespin shook his head; no. "Go back to prison, then; since it pleases you," concluded the detective. He looked at the judge for his approval, and added: "Gendarmes, remove the prisoner."
Having one of the assassins, he knew well that he would secure the others. Our prisons, where good soup is eaten, and good beds are provided, have tongues, as well as the dungeons of the medieval ages. The judge ordered the brigadier to arrest Guespin, and told him not to lose sight of him. He then sent for old Bertaud. This worthy personage was not one of the people who worry themselves.
