M. Isidore Beautrelet, according to my information, has made a great reputation at the Lycee Janson-de-Sailly as an observer whom nothing escapes; and his schoolfellows, I hear, look upon him as your competitor and a rival of Holmlock Shears!" "Indeed!" said Ganimard, ironically. "Just so.
Ganimard and Holmlock Shears, in that affair, got the better of him by using his love for a woman 'the fair-haired lady, she was called to nab him." "A shabby trick," said the Duke. "Shabby?" said Guerchard in a tone of utter wonder. "How can anything be shabby in the case of a rogue like this?" "Perhaps not perhaps not still " said the Duke, and stopped.
At the other end of the tableland, between Rouen and Dieppe. The Seven of Hearts. IX: Holmlock Shears Arrives Too Late. The Gruchet, Montigny, Crasville burglaries? In the midst of the Caux country. Where was Lupin going when he was attacked and bound hand and foot, in his compartment by Pierre Onfrey, the Auteuil murderer? To Rouen. The Seven of Hearts. IV: The Mysterious Railway-passenger.
One was to tell him that Holmlock Shears would arrive next morning. "Capital!" cried M. Filleul, joyfully. "Inspector Ganimard will be here too. It will be delightful." "The other letter is for you, Monsieur le Juge d'Instruction," said the comte. "Better and better," said M. Filleul, after reading it. "There will certainly not be much for those two gentlemen to do.
And it was like the heavy silence that goes before the mortal blow. Which of the two was to strike it? Lupin said, between his teeth: "Failing my instructions to the contrary, two of my friends have orders to enter your father's room to-night, at three o'clock in the morning, to seize him and carry him off to join Ganimard and Holmlock Shears."
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.
With Ganimard and Holmlock Shears I played as if they were children. With you, I am obliged to defend myself, I will say more, to retreat. Yes, at this moment, you and I well know that I must look upon myself as worsted in the fight. Isidore Beautrelet has got the better of Arsene Lupin. My plans are upset. What I tried to leave in the dark you have brought into the full light of day.
On Whit-Sunday, Ganimard did not come home, nor on the Monday either, nor during the five weeks that followed. In London, on Whit-Monday, Holmlock Shears took a cab at eight o'clock in the evening to drive to the station. He had hardly stepped in, when he tried to alight, probably feeling a presentiment of danger.
The expression of wonder faded from Guerchard's face, and he went on, "Well, Holmlock Shears recovered the Blue Diamond, and Ganimard nabbed Lupin. He held him for ten minutes, then Lupin escaped." "What became of the fair-haired lady?" said the Duke. "I don't know. I have heard that she is dead," said Guerchard. "Now I come to think of it, I heard quite definitely that she died."
The same newspapers which, on the following morning, related the last episodes that had occurred at the Chateau d'Ambrumesy the trickery at the chapel, the discovery of Arsene Lupin's body and of Raymonde's body and, lastly, the murderous attempt made upon Beautrelet by the clerk to the examining magistrate also announced two further pieces of news: the disappearance of Ganimard, and the kidnapping of Holmlock Shears, in broad daylight, in the heart of London, at the moment when he was about to take the train for Dover.
