"No, it is precisely."... "You are anxious, then?" "No, no! Be easy!" smiled Monsieur Havard. He caught Fandor by the lapel of his coat. "Look here, my dear fellow! It is precisely because you and Juve are on such intimate terms this friendship between you is a fine thing that I should like you to use your influence with Juve." "With Juve?" "Yes. With Juve. You know how highly I esteem him?
Like lightning Juve tore off in pursuit. The masquerader had the advantage by some yards. Banging door after door in Juve's face, he rushed towards the entrance hall, gained the staircase, racing down it by leaps and bounds, four steps at a time!... Juve at his heels, risked breaking his neck in hot pursuit.... Vagualame reached the porch of the house door: Juve was close on his quarry....
In a voice cold and hard as the nether millstone, he denounced his victim: "Bobinette, you aimed at my betrayal!... You pointed out the Nihilist's haunt to Juve, to Fandor, to my most personal enemies, to those who would hound me to the guillotine!" "I never did!... I did not do it!... I swear it!" shrieked the maddened girl.
"Simply because a charge of murder has been brought against Frederick-Christian." "Very few people know it," exclaimed the journalist. He stopped speaking suddenly. Outside the murmur of a crowd grew louder and louder as it approached. Juve and Fandor ran to the window just in time to receive a volley of stones which broke the glass in several places. The two men sprang back.
"I am inclined to think that the companion, Mademoiselle Berthe, otherwise Bobinette, has played, and perhaps still plays, an incomprehensible part in these affairs." "You find it incomprehensible?" Juve burst into laughter. "I do not!" "Well then, were I in your place, I should not hesitate to arrest her!" "And then?" "Oh, explanations could follow."
The concierge obediently took down a coat from a hook and handed it to Juve who searched it quickly, looked it all over and then found a label sewn on the inside of the collar: it bore the one word Pretoria. "Good!" said he, in an undertone; "I thought as much." Then he looked at the buttons; these were stamped on the under side with the name Smith.
The first Chamberlain called out a name, and a matron, after making the three traditional courtseys, came forward and chatted in a low voice with the Queen. Juve was observing the ceremony with interest, when his reflections were cut short by a voice calling: "Monsieur le Comte de Juff!"
If Captain Brocq had an irregular love affair, it was assuredly with the best intentions; Brocq, who perhaps had not been able to resist his senses, was too straight a man to willingly entertain the idea of not regularising the union later on. Is that your opinion, Colonel?" Hofferman frankly replied: "It is my opinion, Monsieur Juve. That was certainly Captain Brocq's character.
Was it not?" During Juve's virulent apostrophe de Naarboveck had maintained an ironic self-possession. "You confess, then?" "And suppose it were so?... No doubt, Monsieur Juve, you intended to denounce me, to prove that the Baron de Naarboveck is none other than Fantômas.... Well, it pleases me to admit your cleverness.
"An incredible thing has happened!... I have just heard of it!... I had given the order to have Corporal Vinson brought here immediately the real Corporal Vinson he whom Monsieur Juve arrested under the name of Butler: well, Commandant, it appears that on entering his cell they found him dead!" "What is that you say?" asked Dumoulin and Juve together.
