Koupriane, when he rose, said to me, 'You have happened, madame, to interrupt the person in her operations. But we are prepared henceforth. We know what she does and she is unaware that we know. Act as though you had not noticed anything; do not speak of it to anyone whatever and watch.
And you have killed Michael. Ah, what have you done, what have you done!" "We have suppressed a man," said the icy voice of Koupriane, "who was merely the agent for the base deeds of Nihilism." She succeeded in recovering a new energy that in her depths of despair they would have supposed impossible. She shook her fists at Koupriane: "It is not true, it is not true. These are slanders, infamies!
Between the strand and the touba where Koupriane watched, was a ridge, a window, which, however, did not hide the shore or the bay from the prefect of police, because at the height where he was his glance passed at an angle above it.

After what Koupriane had confided to him of things that had happened in this house, he had not hesitated to risk everything on that audacious decision, but all the same, all the same these stories of Nihilists who appear at the end of a meal, death-sentence in hand, they haunted him, they upset him.
