From the moment you place me under the necessity of explaining each of my movements and each of my acts, I prefer to go and leave to you that 'responsibility' of which you spoke just now, my dear Monsieur Koupriane."
"Shall we ever know? All we found was two feathers, this morning, in the boudoir of the Empress, which leads us to think that the eider downs were taken out that way. I am taking the two feathers to Koupriane." "Let me see them," asked the reporter. Rouletabille looked them over and handed them back. "And what do you think the whole affair means?"
"Oh, that is horrible," muttered the stupefied reporter; "that is horrible, for then the poisoner must be either Natacha or me." "I have every confidence in you," declared Koupriane with a great laugh of satisfaction, striking him on the shoulder. "And I arrest Natacha, and you who love logic ought to be satisfied now." Rouletabille hadn't a word more to say.
"Oh, we have suspected Michael for some time, and truly, after what has just happened, we cannot have any doubt." "Yes, but you declared you had papers, and you have not. That is abominable procedure, Koupriane," replied Feodor sternly. "I have heard you condemn such expedients many times." "General!
They found Natacha already at table and she poured them coffee and milk, eating away all the time at a sandwich of anchovies and caviare. "Tell me, mamma, do you know what gives me such an appetite? It is the thought of the way poor Koupriane must have taken this dismissal of his men. I should like to go to see him."
See, he is the demon; yes, yes, the little domovoi, the little domovoi. But look out, poor wretch; you don't know what you have done." She turned brusquely toward Koupriane: "Where is the body of Michael Nikolaievitch?" said she. "I wish to see it. I must see it." Feodor Feodorovitch had fallen, as though asleep, upon a chair. Matrena Petrovna dared not approach him.
They must not be permitted to cross your threshold. They have not been able to protect you. You have nothing to regret. And if, after they are gone, something new turns up, we can leave M. Koupriane to conduct the inquiries without his being preoccupied here at the house." "But you do not know the admirable police of Koupriane. These brave men have given proof of their devotion."
"What is that little phial?" demanded Koupriane, as he saw Rouletabille pull a small, stoppered bottle out of his pocket. The reporter replied, "I have put into this bottle the vodka that was poured into Natacha's glass and mine and that we barely touched." "Someone has tried to poison you!" exclaimed Pere Alexis. "No, not me," replied Rouletabille, in bored fashion. "Don't think about that.
Get quickly now to the home of Koupriane, if you don't wish to arrive there at luncheon-time; then you would have to put off these serious affairs until evening. The Department of Police.
Koupriane has let you know the result of my analyses?" "Yes, yes. Tell me, Alexis Hutch, you are sure you are not mistaken? You don't think you might be mistaken? Think carefully before you answer. It is a question of life or death." "For whom?" "For me." "For you, good little friend! You want to make your old Pere lexis laugh or weep!" "Answer me." "No, I couldn't be mistaken.
